After We Collided (2020)

After We Collided emerges from an explosion at the young adult romance factory with random bits from other movies sticking through its chest. This sequel to the 2019 After is a Christmas movie, an erotic romance, a soap opera, a workplace fantasy, a parade of clichés, and a wacky comedy all in one. Over and over, you’ll wonder, “Did what I see actually happen?”

It appeared that Tessa (Josephine Langford) had forgiven Hardin (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) when she discovered he only began dating her on a dare but they've broken up. One month later, Hardin is a mess while Tessa is beginning a prestigious internship at Vance Publishing, working alongside the handsome Trevor Matthews (Dylan Sprouse). Desperate to win her back, Hardin approaches Tessa. Despite her best efforts, she finds herself drawn to him again.

I've seen After twice but when After We Collided began, I had to go back and review its conclusion. This movie tells you to forget everything, that this is “a story you’ve heard before. Only difference is this isn’t that story”. Hardin has gone from the rich, moody bad-boy to sleeping in his car next to grumbling hobos. Compared to its predecessor, this movie's been cranked to 11. We went from a PG university romance with a major plot point about Tessa losing her virginity to an R-Rating with as many sex scenes as 50 Shades of Grey. Anna Todd must've seen 365 Days and told the studio “My movie made you a whole bunch of money and you’re going to repay me by showing the world what Hero Fiennes Tiffin looks like naked”. You don't see the sausage and meatballs but every other slab of beef the actor has to offer is proudly on display. This movie is unashamed to be for the ladies only, which is why Josephine Langford’s fun bits are nowhere to be seen.

Speaking of Langford, her character has scored the opportunity of a lifetime. It only takes the 19-year-old college dropout a day to get promoted to a prestigious position that includes a new wardrobe and benefits most of us could only dream of. Christian Vance (Charlie Webber) is the greatest boss ever. He’s so kind you keep expecting a twist, You think we’ll get another Mr. Hyde from 50 Shades Darker style but instead, we receive this subplot about his son and Tessa’s new best friend Kimberly (Candice King) that's so bland and badly executed it makes you think maybe the Hardin/Tessa thing ain't so bad.

There are no werewolves, vampires, or secret societies of angels but After We Collided is pure fantasy. It’s like it was written by someone who’s never been in a relationship or held a job, who cobbled what it must be like from reading romance books and Hallmark movies. This series’ “Jacob” is like what a computer would think a boyfriend should be like. Meanwhile, characters you assumed would be important, like Hardin’s black stepbrother and Tessa’s former best friend Landon (Shane Paul McGhie) might as well have been killed in a car crash between movies he’s so not here. The villains we saw previously? they’re back and even more vindictive than before. At every turn, someone cranks up the drama by letting loose some wild revelation or brandishing a grand gesture.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with a story beginning as a piece of fanfiction of a self-insert fantasy if it grows to become more. The problem/best thing about After We Collided is that it only shows restrain when it comes to the nude scenes. This 2nd installment of the series (out of 4) is always going in the most improbable directions it could. It always chooses the most dramatic route - logic and taste be damned. It’s all about making the love scenes more titillating, the heartbreaks world-shattering, and the arguments the kind that could level mountains. When it’s safe to do so, get your friends together, watch the first movie, and then this one back-to-back. You won’t know what hit you. (November 28, 2020)

Just Friends (2005)

When I tell you Just Friends is terrible, it’s not just an attempt to expunge my sorrow; it’s a public service announcement. This profoundly misguided, predictable so-called comedy might actually be harmful.

In high school, Chris (Ryan Reynolds) was an overweight wimp pining for his best friend Jamie (Amy Smart) but got stuck in the friend zone. After leaving town for ten years, losing weight, and becoming handsome, Chris gets stuck in his hometown over the Christmas Holiday while promoting ditzy pop star Samantha James (Anna Faris). He sees this misfortune as an opportunity to get the girl he never had.

If it’s been 10 years and you’re still dreaming of “the one that got away”, you’re not a romantic. You're a creep. It’s time to move on. Either accept the relationship you two have and stay friends, or break it off. Don’t keep putting friendship coins in the machine hoping sex will come out. It’s not going to. Not only are you a bad friend for believing this, but you're also a weasel. Unless you live in the universe in which Just Friends takes place. From the beginning, this film was doomed. The premise is inherently bad. And that’s just the beginning.

Everyone in this picture is an empty-headed moron. No one acts like a human being. Humans communicate with words. The people of Just Friends convey their thoughts with ludicrous slapstick, romantic comedy clichés, and contrived developments. That’s when they’re not destroying their surroundings, hitting another person in the face, or watching Chris receive yet another testicle injury. I sat stone-faced while this picture unfolded. Beneath this abomination of a script, you can kind of make out the comedic talents of Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris, but they are dog-paddling in the middle of a shark-infested ocean, praying someone will throw them a flotation device.

Just Friends barely feels like a real movie. Here I am, minutes after it’s over and I can’t figure out where my time went. It sure felt longer than an hour and thirty-four minutes but there are only 5 sentences worth of a story in what I saw. Everything else is an improbably assembled comedy of errors that amounts to nothing. It’s all desperation, and you can tell no one thought this was going to sell. Repeatedly, it resorts to one of my most hated and creatively bankrupt wannabe gags, that old schtick where kids swear and say inappropriate things. Someone was paid to write this?

It’s like a checklist of everything bad that can happen in a rom-com. Just Friends makes you want to drown yourself in curdled milk. Bad singing, masturbation jokes, parents who misunderstand masturbation jokes, people being tasered, people falling over, homophobic jokes, fat jokes, bad acne jokes.. and on, and on, and on.

There’s only one scenario in which I could recommend Just Friends. If you ever feel upset, depressed, or downright worthless, like your life doesn’t amount to anything, watch this movie. At any other point in your life, it would destroy you to see these actors wasting their time on-screen. At your lowest, it will be like a homeless beggar spotting a tormented soul, stuck in hell for eternity. You’ll realize that your problems can be overcome. There’s still hope in the world! Otherwise, Just Friends just sucks. (On DVD, June 10, 2015)

Cruel Intentions costars Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair may have played rivals in the 1999 cult classic, but they have nothing but love for each other in real life.

On Wednesday, the former castmates had a small reunion with Cruel Intentions director and screenwriter Roger Kumble at Blair’s home. The trio commemorated the get-together with a series of selfies shared on their respective Instagram profiles.

“I can’t show how good it feels to have my friends come and bring lunch and news of the world. So I will just share the standard happy selfies. With love,” Blair — who revealed she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2019 — captioned the shots. “Who knew this #cruelintentions trio would be forever?”

Gellar, 42, opened up to her followers about an inside joke she shares with Blair, 47, on her account.

“No cruel intentions here. Little known fact- since the day we met @selmablair has called me Scarah,” she wrote, before putting the “blame” on Kumble, 53, for the unique nickname.

“Scarah my love.

” Blair quipped in jest in the comment section.

Meanwhile, Kumble joked on his Instagram account that he was a mere sushi delivery man who had stumbled onto the Cruel Intention reunion.

“First day at my new job as Sugarfish Postmates Delivery-boy and look who I run into!!! @selmablair & @sarahmgellar!” he wrote alongside a screenshot of Gellar and Blair’s selfie together.

He also referenced the duo’s iconic onscreen smooch, saying, “I tried to get them to kiss, then they kicked me out with no tip!”

“Excuse me…. I said you were the best looking @postmates delivery guy I ever saw (and most talented)” Gellar replied in the comments.

Blair then chimed in, “I love you as @sugarfishbynozawa Postmates dude. Well done.”

Also starring Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, Cruel Intentions centered on two vicious step-siblings, Sebastian (Phillippe) and Kathryn (Gellar) of an elite Manhattan prep school. The two enter into a bet to see if Sebastian could seduce the headmaster’s daughter Annette (Witherspoon) before the start of the term.

Blair played Cecile, Kathryn’s classmate who ends up entangled in the sibling’s drama.

The reunion comes just weeks after Blair opened up about feeling “sick” at home as she deals with her MS symptoms and other bouts of pain.

“This is the thing. I feel sick,” she wrote on Instagram alongside a picture of her curled up at home. “This is what happens. There is no bright light of glamour. Of course. It is long nights. Almost all nights. My muscles in my face and neck are in spasm. Or so tight I can’t even find a way to stretch. And I have been trying for three hours. On the ground stretching.”

“I am strong enough not to be taken down any more than the average bear. That’s great news. Excellent reassurance. I recover,” she continued. “I’m not dying any more than anyone. I am just hurting. It feels like I am just breaking down. So there’s a truth to give to anyone else feeling this way. It’s just miserable. And scary. To feel unwell.”

“I am so sorry. This is just me to you. In the early hours of the morning. Cause I don’t know what else to do and I want so much to do better. May the silver lining surround us all. And guide us out of the darkest. Thank you all for being the biggest loves. I am in a slow time. I need to recover. I want to recover. And I don’t know what that even really means.”
