Sight Unseen: May 13, 2005

Continuing the Friday series of reviews of movies I haven't seen.

Monster-in-Law
Well, Jane Fonda isn't Jason Voorhees (although some would contest that statement), but at least there's a monster movie opening on Friday the 13th.


Kicking and Screaming
Fathers who get caught up in their kid's sports teams are funny, and finally they get a movie that pokes fun at their impassioned fanaticism. You know who isn't laughing? The kid who gets beat for striking out, overthrowing the cut-off man, missing a goal, not bettering his time, or for just being average. That shit just isn't funny. Maybe Kicking and Screaming will help overenthusiastic parents laugh at themselves, and reduce the number of beatings.
We can only hope.
