So the latest issue of "People" magazine, or at least the most recent one which has happened to be open when I've walked by and seen it, has a review of "Hall Pass." It's a negative review, which is not surprising given the generally poor critical and commercial reaction to the film.
What catches my eye is the little sidebar the mag places under the review, a box proclaiming that Christina Applegate is "Rom-Com's Best Best Friend" or something silly like that. She is apparently the best thing about "Hall Pass" and all the other crappy movies she's played the "friend" role in over the last decade or so.
Why does "People" need to highlight Applegate's performance in an underwhelming comedy that will soon be forgotten? I don't know, but, say, did I mention who was on the cover of the magazine the week before? Appearing in a big cover story after giving access to photos of herself with her new baby daughter? After giving the mag the scoop that she was expecting in the first place way back in the summer?
Give up? It was...Christina Applegate. Hmm.
Just sayin'.
