ACADEMY!!!! I GOT IT!!!! I FIGURED OUT YOUR PROBLEM!!!! READY:

1.) Dictionary.com:

com·e·dy

noun, plural -dies.

a play, movie, etc., of light and humorous character with a happy or cheerful ending; a dramatic work in which the central motif is the triumph over adverse circumstance, resulting in a successful or happy conclusion.

2.) Urban Dictionary.com :

	comedy
	1)anything that makes you laugh 2)the best medicine 3)what keeps everyone happy

See Academy we like hahaha comedy...not okay someone got married in the end therefore this is a comedy comedy! Its not Shakespeare's time anymore...

This movie was slightly better than Lost in Translation because at least it had a pace to it but otherwise we have two foiled characters who are both extremely frustrating that go on a road trip. Also we never really know if either of them get to a better place then where they began, so its not even a real road trip movie.

 They have a couple fun moments (crashing the car and playing golf) but otherwise it could be more of a giant advertisement for wine tasting. This movie really made me want to become more acquainted with wine.  1.) To achieve a higher level of cultural know how and 2.) To wash down my disappointment of this movie. I mean the shooting was okay but not thought provoking, the music...I don't remember...and the acting was just okay whatever quality...I will give the screenplay a little shout out for some poetic moments.

Also the Oscar people were just confused but Marketing you have no excuse:
hi·lar·i·ous

adjective

arousing great merriment; extremely funny

You missed this twice now when there is really no excuse. IT NEEDS TO BE EXTREMELY FUNNY TO USE THIS WORD!!!!

Overall: If you are deciding between Lost in Translation and this film...maybe watch this one...but better yet pick up basket weaving...you will have a better time...
