spring breakdown watch alert, pt 1

Is it wrong to say I'll probably love Spring Breakdown even if it's not as funny as the cast would lead me to believe?

It may not have Tina Fey or Ana Gasteyer, but there are three perfectly funny women in that movie, what with Parker Posey, Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch (who co-wrote the movie).


...Even though they keep calling it "Amy Poehler's 'Spring Breakdown'", which is so not fair to the genius of Dratch.



Look at this trailer:

Oh, frak me, it's got Amber Tamblyn, to boot. I'd forgotten that.

Now that it's been released in Sundance, and coming out to mixed reviews, I worry: Is this going to be like Mystery Men and its Janeane Garofalo/William H. Macy/Lena Olin/Geoffrey Rush ensemble, where I forced myself to like the movie, and have it in my video collection?

But I might as well face it: a movie with Parker Posey, Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch? I don't care if it's going straight to video. That's going on my want list.


And on a not-so-related note, can someone please cast Anna Faris in something excellent? She deserves much better.
