Mustard on the Hedge

Tonight I watched “You, Me and Dupree” with a group of friends and it officially sucked ass in terms of plot, dialogue, etc. So why did we watch the entire thing? Why did we enjoy it and discuss it? This movie’s salvation was the hotness of Kate Hudson. I think it’s testament to her smokiness that she actually caused a helicopter crash during the filming of the movie while filming a scene in a bikini! I’d be lucky to cause a 1980’s mini to crash if I jumped out in front of it stark bollock naked!!

Anyway the movie got me thinking about all the movies that were ridiculously bad but were redeemed by the “talents” of the leading lady! So here’s my top five movies that would have been complete flops were it not for some inspired casting!

5. You, Me and Dupree

This is one of those movies where you felt each and every one of the 108 minutes slip by. Kate Hudson marries Matt Dillon but immediately problems arise for the newlyweds when Owen Wilson (the best man) moves in with them. Blah blah blah….this would have been one of those predictable flicks if it were not for Kate Hudson and her assets.

4. D.E.B.S

I have to admit that I love this movie but as I’m being honest I have to declare I watch it purely for Jordana Brewster. Lets face it D.E.B.S relies heavily on it’s cast of hot girls as it’s plot is clearly left wanting- the movie is about special agent schoolgirls who are part of a secret government agency tasked with fighting the worlds baddies!

3. Charlies Angels

Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu AND Cameron Diaz. That’s pretty much all you need to know about this movie. I’m sure you’ve all seen it and know that it’s not going to be competing with Godfather anytime soon. However Drew Barrymore in tight pants will always kick Godfathers ass!

2. Sin City

Ok so I know this movie has a cult following and I appreciate the striking imagery and I know the storyline is quite good but seriously…is Sin City a movie you’re going to watch again and again? Yes but only because of this:

Jessica Alba

1. Blue Crush

I actually found it hard to concentrate on this movie…It was so bad that I may as well have watched it with the sound muted. Surfer chicks surfing….enthralling stuff…yes it is when the surfers are Kate Bosworth and Michelle Rodriguez!

I’m sure there are tonnes of more movies that fall under the “baddy but a goodie” category! One good thing about watching a movie purely for the leading lady is that you’re always guaranteed a happy ending purely because you don’t give a toss about the plot!!!

I’m sure everyone has seen the star wars kid video from YouTube but here is it’s successor in most embarrassing video. A guy from Limerick has posted an ode to Jessica Alba. There are no words. I saw it a week ago and the stats have gone up by about 16,000 viewers since.
