SPEAKING for myself and perhaps for those of the male population, who see this film that one leaves the cinema with sexual appeal of an actress who made her first film 23 years ago. Her name: Jennifer Aniston.
Featured in a recent six-page spread in the South African magazine “You”, we learn of the men she has been keeping happy since she was dumped by Brad Pitt who she lived with from 1998 to 2005.
Angelina Jolie was the magnet for our Brad.
In number her lovers were more than a dozen, with some of whom a marital walk-down the aisle seemed imminent.
But it was not to be.
Now, 15 years after meeting Brad and at 44 years of age, our Jennifer stars in a film as a stripper and for-rent-girl, which will have the man in the audience cuddling their drinks in the hope of cooling off.
Myself, have never seen a more attractive body at any age in over 75 years of cinema going.
As Rose, a nightclub stripper (all the way), she is taken on board as a pretence wife by David Clark (Sudeikis), who needs a “distraction” if he is to be able to cross from Mexico into the States with (we are told) the largest illegal consignment of marijuana ever.
Feeling that even this luscious and lascivious distraction may need further help when the “chips are down,” he adds to his “family” two teen age waifs, a boy and a girl, who, with little explanation, happen to be wandering, individually, in his neighbourhood.
In the matter of gaining the transportation needed, the filmmakers ask of us that we “Swallow” a lot of improbabilities, an RV (Recreational Vehicle) that just happens to fall in their lap.
Things get dicey on the Mexican side of the border.
The film-goer will see another example of the cynical attitude which Hollywood has with regard to Mexico’s “law enforcers”.
I, who lived and taught at Mexico City’s University, willingly acknowledge that all is not as desired.
Showing unprecedented scenes of teen age nudity may well be signs of coming events.
The film, is delightfully entertaining and highly recommended for the broad minded who are willing to go with the flow and just get excited.
