Apparently Brandon thought Women in Trouble was going to be a chick flick, and was pleasantly surprised that it was not. It was pretty raunchy and fun to watch, and in his words, "The racks were great." As soon as I saw the opening credits roll, I knew exactly why he had rented it based on two little words: Carla Gugino. She's one of our mutual favorites and we have followed her into many a crappy movie and tv show. This wasn't a great movie, but we have certainly suffered through far worse for her. The woman is 40 and still super hot and so enjoyable to watch. We were impressed by the whole cast, especially Adrianne Palicki as a dimwitted but adorable up and coming porn star. Her touching monologue about her childhood pet had us riveted. (Yea, if you've seen it you know what's up.) I am a sucker for movies with interwoven stories, and when those stories toss together porn stars, psychologists, hookers, cheaters, rock stars, and secret moms, it's hard for me not to have a good time.
Special notes: Anyone who may be interested in seeing it because of Joseph Gordon-Levitt should be sure stick around till after the credits, because despite his top billing, he doesn't show up until then. Anyone who has actually already seen this movie and liked it should keep an eye out for the sequel, Elektra Luxx, which apparently co-stars my man Timothy Olyphant. I'll be making sure B puts that on our list!
Tomorrow night I will be busy at a SYTYCD watching event, but I think the next movie on the list is Humpday.
