I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE

THERE IS NO BIGGER CHRIS ROCK FAN THAN MYSELF.
THE PROOF OF MY STATEMENT IS THAT I SAT THRU POOTIE TANG, POSSIBILY THE WORST FILM OF THIS GENERATION. I WOULD SIT THRU POOTIE AGAIN, BEFORE I WOULD WATCH, I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE, IT WAS NOT A GOOD MOVIE, IT HAD ALL THE INGREDIENTS TO BE A GOOD MOVIE, BUT THEY DO NOT COME TOGETHER WORTH A DAMN.
IF THIS WAS A MEAL, YOU WOULD SEND IT BACK TO THE KITCHEN.
NOW, MOST PEOPLE WILL LIKE THIS MOVIE, THEY WILL LIKE THE INSIGHTS / OBSERVATIONS THAT CHRIS IS FAMOUS FOR PROVIDING TO HIS AUDIENCE.
THAT ELEMENT IS PRESENT AND IT WORKS - THE REST OF THE MOVIE, DOES NOT WORK, BUT A LOT OF FOLKS WILL BE HAPPY WITH THE OBSERVATIONS.
MOST PEOPLE GO TO THE MOVIE TO PUT THEIR MINDS ON AUTOMATIC PILOT FOR TWO HOURS. IF YOU ARE IN THAT MAJORITY, YOU WILL ENJOY THIS FILM - BEING AN AMATEUR CRITIC, I ANALYSIS THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION -- WHICH DOES NOT MEAN MY ANALYSIS IS CORRECT OR EVEN REASONABLE -- YOU ARE ALWAYS FREE TO ACCEPT OR REJECTION A FILM - IT IS A SUBJECTIVE MEDIUM.
I WANTED TO CUT CHRIS A BREAK, BUT AS THE WRITER, DIRECTOR AND STAR - HE MISSED THE MARK WITH THIS ONE, IF YOU JUDGE IT AGAINST THE WELL RESPECTED AND ACCEPTED ROMANTIC COMEDIES --- THIS ROMANTIC COMEDY FELL SHORT IN TWO CRITICAL AREAS, IT WAS NOT FUNNY AND IT WAS NOT ROMANTIC - THAT IS A FATAL FLAW IN MAKING A ROMANTIC COMEDY. T
HERE IS NO CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS THAT NEED TO HAVE A SPARK. KERRY WASHINGTON IS PRETTY TO LOOK AT, BUT HER CHARACTER IS OFF LINE - THE INFORMATION THAT MIGHT MAKE US CARE ABOUT HER CHARACTER IN NEVER PRESENTED. STEVE BUSEMI HAS THE ONLY CHARACTER THAT REALLY COMES ACROSS AS INTERESTING. EVEN THE CHARACTER CHRIS PLAYED IS NOT COMPELLING, HE IS JUST ON THE SCREEN MOST OF THE TIME. MY ADVICE, GO SEE THIS FILM - ENJOY IT - BUT I THINK EVEN THOSE WHO HAVE A GRAND TIME WILL SENSE THAT SOMETHING WAS MISSING - THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH BETTER FILM IF EVERYTHING COULD HAVE BEEN MOVED ABOUT SIX INCHES IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION - THAT IS MY PROBLEM, THIS CAME SO CLOSE TO BEING MORE AND THAN MISSED THE MARK.
IT IS NOT SO BAD A FILM, AS IT IS A DISAPPOINTING FILM.

THE GRATUITOUS USE OF THE MUCH DREADED 'N' WORD DID NOTHING TO IMPROVE ANY SCENE AND AS STATED, WAS GRATUITOUS AND OUT OF SYNCH WITH 2007 AND THE SOCIAL MOVEMENT TO ELIMINATE THE PHRASE, WHERE POSSIBLE. CHRIS WAS NEEDLESSLY ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THIS ISSUE. THE WORD WAS NEVER GERMANE TO THE SITUATION ON THE SCREEN. IT IS NOT ABOUT CENSORSHIP, BUT BEING SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. I KNOW CHRIS WILL PUT IT ALL TOGETHER IN THE NEAR FUTURE -- YOU CAN'T KEEP A BROOKLYNITE DOWN FOR LONG.
