Whatever Happened To Leslie Nielson?
19 August 2004
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Leslie, Leslie, Leslie, what happened to the days when you asked us to stop calling you Shirley? To the days when you and that Priscilla whatever-her-last-name-is were laughing while walking out of a movie theater playing, "Platoon"? To the days when--

I guess you get the idea. It's not that Leslie Nielson doesn't have the acting ability; it's that the movie is probably the stupidest and worst comedy to come along in my lifetime. It broke dead even with Mystic River in the laughs department: none (unless you count after the movie, in which case Mystic River is way ahead. Academy Awards, ha!). I kept waiting for something funny to happen and the movie to suddenly go good, for everyone to pop out and go, "Hey! It was all just a joke! We only wanted you to think that the movie sucked because then the rest of the movie is great!"

Didn't happen. Avoid at all costs. I mean, I LOVE Leslie Nielson and it still sucked. Oh, well; at least he's not doing porn.
