On the outside, I try to project an image of having it all together. But underneath that, I'm kind of a disaster. Hence... the name of the site: GlossyVeneer. Plot:
When he confessed his love for his best friend during their formative high school years ago, Chris was met with a broken heart and a degrading humiliation. Only adding insult to injury was his larger than life frame which became a source of ridicule for cruel classmates. But years later and things having changed, Chris is now a hotshot record producer in Hollywood and the complete physical opposite of himself in high school. He’s also got an up and coming act by the name of Samantha James who has a psychotic crush on her producer. When a freak accident occurs on the way to Paris, Chris is forced to return home with her in tow. Little does he know that he would come face to face with the friend that he tried so desperately to forget. With the chance to woo her again, Chris will do what he can despite his client’s violent misgivings and a competitive rival suitor against him. No matter the crazy obstacles he must overcome, Chris will do whatever it takes to be more than just friends.
From the IMDB Profile
Notable:
Anna Faris’ completely over-the-top impression of a talentless, famous-for-no-real-reason dimwit was priceless.
Quote:
Chris: Y’see, when a girl decides that you’re her friend, you’re no longer a dating option. You become a complete non-sexual entity in her eyes, like a brother… or a lamp.
Thoughts:
Is this movie going to win any awards? No, but it was funny and gave me an entertaining way to spend an hour and a half. Ryan Reynolds delivery and physical reactions for sarcastic comments was great. And the lip-syncing of “I Swear” when he was still chubby, HILARIOUS!
