I love neve campbell so much and she’s so pretty in this 😭 deadass so wholesome I absolutely ADORE her <3
my toxic trait during this movie was hoping she’d realize nobody can be husband material and she would become like a biker or sum and fight demons and shit but instead like every rom-com you know what happened 😭
also I love danny devito and his monster shlong 💯, and the mc in this is so like rich what dude energy bro it’s so awful 😭 like they should of casted somebody better like mf ben stiller would’ve been better

...and K Mart has decided to stop carrying your book...
Relative Strangers is one of the bizarre mid-aughts comedies that somehow attracted a boatload of talent despite having a script that had to have been picked up out of trash. Look at this: Danny DeVito, Kathy Bates, Ron Livingston, Neve Campbell, Beverly D'Angelo, Bob Odenkirk, Edward Herrmann, Christine Baranski, Martin Mull, Michael McKean, M.C. Gainey, Ed Begley Jr., and even Dave Bautista popping up at the height of his wrestling career. Even with how bad it is, there's something about this era of comedies that gives me a warm little feeling.
Neve Campbel #7

And with this, we are officially over the halfway mark in my Ron Livingston filmography challenge! I am nothing if not committed to a bit.

Ron Livingston and Neve Campbell are about to get married. When he breaks this news to his parents he finds out he is adopted.....and he eventually finds his real parents...Danny DeVito and Kathy Bates. For 99% of this movie...it was painful to watch. There, however is a dream sequence that I thought was funny....but you have to make it through some pretty bad stuff to get to that funny dream. Final thought: Only DeVito fans should check this one out.

my confession:
at 11:37pm on the night of november 19th, 2021 i texted one pip [redacted] "wghat sbitty movoie should -i watch for twlo seconds pf bob o ednkirk tonight"
32 minutes later, at 12:08am the morning of november 20th, 2021 i interrupted a conversation on gender identity to text pip "hes givign daddy fuck me rn"
with the movie completed we engaged in a lengthy conversation on whether or not bob odenkirk would let me "suck him off" in the back of his limo on his way from a purely hypothetical book signing back to his hotel.
i apologize in advance for the person i will become when i start watching better call saul.

This is why I seldom take movie recommendations from my seventy-eight year old mother.
I think I may be adopted.

You're all haters. This movie was hilarious, heartwarming, and it has Neve Campbell. What more can you want?!
