"Dupree" ad
You, Me and Dupree (Universal, 7.14) may or not be "the funniest movie of the summer" (here's what the Hollywood Reporter 's Kirk Honeycutt and Variety's Justin Chang have to say), but I need to strenously argue with Mark S. Allen's assertion that it's "relentlessly honest." I'll explain why in a day or two.

I'm pretty sure this movie isn't going to be "relentlessly honest," but wasn't Jeff just trying to argue last week that Dupree is somehow representative of an entire generation of men? Even if true, this doesn't mean the movie's "honest," but maybe that's where this Mark S. Allen quote is coming from. And since when were mainstream audiences even looking for honest movies? I'm really surprised anybody saw fit to put this part of the quote on an ad.

Off subject... but can we get the "Inside Elsewhere" section to the right updated. Jeff's kid hasn't written anything since last October and SXSW was in March.... I'm sick of seeing that every day.

Why would anyone think that a movie about a grown man with the maturity level of a ten-year-old moving in with another couple and causing all three of them to act like blithering idiots over the course of two hours is "relentlessly honest"? Sitcoms are seldom if ever honest, even if there is a kernel of truth buried in there somewhere, and this one seems like one of the silliest ones aroung. That doesn't mean it might not be funny, but I wouldn't go see it expecting to get any insight into human relations.
