Watching The Detectives
Stumbled upon this cute, quirky romantic comedy on TV tonight that I had never heard of. What struck me was how odd it was to see Cillian Murphy in a comedy. From
28 Days Later to
Batman Begins. From
Sunshine to
Red Eye, he's just never been an actor I had thought of as comic. And I certainly never imagined I'd ever see him in a scene opposite someone as dopey as Jason Sudeikis. But it totally worked. And Lucy Liu was perfectly cast as mysterious, oddball, crazy girl who turns her boyfriend's life upside down playing one extreme practical joke after another on him until he realizes how boring his life would be without it. It was a sweet little movie that I found very charming. If you're looking for a nice movie to rent for a night on the couch with your special someone, might I recommend
Watching The Detectives? I might.
