Everything Turns Grey

only movie i ever fast forwarded through

I love tom green. that is to say, i love his old show, the one that got cancelled. after that, his humor got rather.. well, he fell off. he used to be funny with a sort of witty background to everything he did. yes, he was disgusting, but he wasnt just that. there was wit behind all of his actions, and thats what made it funny.

this movie was awful. i remember that i laughed only a couple times. it seemed that tom had lost his wit at this time of his career, and stuck with the disgusting stuff instead. i fast-forwarded through parts of this movie, and i've never done that with any other rental. i just couldnt stand it.

as ebert said: tom is unable to promote his own movies anymore. and its kind of sad. he messed up. but, thats life in the spotlight.
