Short declaratory phrase in an attempt to get quoted in TV trailer, ad, or cover box --

"Never before have we come this close to seeing Liv Tyler's sumptuous, naked breasts!"

Nate's review:

I won a radio contest and got to see this bad boy early! Yes, J-Lo is in this movie-- but only a little bit! This is absolutely not a "Bennifer" movie. Speaking of, that's a pretty cool little word trick to pull off there. I don't know if I could do that with my name so easily. Let's see... since I am not with anyone at the time of this writing, let's try some girl friends. Nate + Chrissy = "Nrissy" or "Chrate." I think I like Chrate. Nate + Kat gets us either "Nat" or "Kate." That's just too normal. I mean, nobody would be able to tell that that's two people in there! Let's try some ex-girlfriends. Nate + Tiffany = "Niffany?" What the hell. Or "Tate," which reminds me too much of "Bewitched" to be that cool. Nate + Ashley = "Nashley." We might be getting somewhere there. It's better than "Aate," although that's kind of cool. Think about it: "Hey, where's Aate?" "I don't know!" Anyways... maybe the best is Nate + Whitney = "Nitney," or "Whate." Sounds like a command-- like it. Ah fuck, see, it doesn't work. Out of all the Bastards, I think Jason has the best name for such projects-- Jason + Melody = "Jalody," or even better, "Melson." Those are masterpieces, my friends. So in the absence of girls, let's try it with the various Bastards' favorite drinks. Tim + Budweiser = Tudweiser... hmmm. It's got possibilities. Ryan likes Sapphire and Tonics = Rapphire and Ronics... not too good there. Too Scooby-Doo. Jason + Gatorade = Jatorade. Once again, J-Bizzy reigns supreme, much like Iron Chef French Hiroyuki Sakai. Nate + Jack and Coke = Nack and Coke = not good. Jate and Joke? Oh well I stink. About the movie: It is great! You know how Adam Sandler did "Billy Madison" and "Happy Gilmore," then turned it around a little bit with "The Wedding Singer?" It still had elements of the famous Sandler humor, but it had a more compelling, somewhat sweeter, character-driven story. Well this is Kevin Smith's "Wedding Singer." It has the Smithian elements that made him famous, but his skill as a storyteller, and more importantly, a filmmaker, improves with every movie he makes (not that any of them were bad in the least). It is not really a romantic comedy, it is more of a character study of a pivotal period in the life of the Affleck character-- the CHARACTERS move the plot, which is something I cannot even hope to write yet. I loved it, and I am pretty sure you will too. See it see it see it and have some popcorn for me if it's not a weekend.
