Serious Moonlight Looks Like Some Serious Garbage
Serious Moonlight trailer, you guys:
Oh. Oh no! Cheryl Hines directed this? Not our Cheryl Hines, right? A different Cheryl Hines. You don't know her, she's from Canada. This looks like a joke. Are we sure this isn't just a bonus feature from the Funny People DVD? Perhaps this was supposed to be a lead-in to Tropic Thunder but it got lost under a mid-century sofa somewhere. "Whoops, where's the fake trailer for the fake movie that couldn't possibly be real, Serious Moonlight?" "It appears that we've misplaced it, Mr. Stiller. Shall I search all of Malibu?" "You know, it's probably for the best."
Although, I will say that this movie is in the vein of my favorite genre of children's movies, which is the Parent Trap theme of tricking your divorced parents into getting back together. As if all the children of divorced parents aren't so glad that their parents are divorced now and not throwing ashtrays at each other anymore. This is like that, and yet we don't even have the tiny shoulders of darling children on which to hang its impossible and depressing premise. Nope. We're all adults here, pretending like this is a good idea. Serious UGHlight!

When the site first loaded, I read "Serious Moonlight" and thought they (The Government) was writing another twilight book. Now, I see it's much...much worse.
Score = 13
I'm going to keep you hostage until you love me, faggot.
Score = 33
What the hell happened to Meg Ryans face? Looks like she just walked out of a bar fight. That or she was stung by bees....repeatedly.
Score = 4
"The Women 2: Edge of Reasonable Premise?"
Score = 5
It looks like a less funny version of Misery.
Score = 25
I still can't wrap my brain around the title! What the hell does it all mean!? Also, a thanks goes to gabe. It might be my hungover stupor, but "Serious Moonlight looks like Serious Garbage" still has me giggling my ass off.
Score = 3
Bowie
Score = 5
I dunno that the Bowie angle clears anything up; in fact it makes the title more mysterious, as in what the fuck does any single element of this plot have to do with a rock band's tour in the early 80's? Did they used to tie the audience down and play for hours on end?
Score = 4
It originally was a quote from Bowie's 'Let's Dance'. Which makes even less sense, since I can't imagine any dance that involves being cellotaped to a chair. Well, except for an unvoluntary lapdance or something.
Score = 2
Serious Moonlight: Starring two people who you're not sure if you like anymore (Meg Ryan, Timothy Hutton), and two people who you're not sure if you like yet (Kristen Bell, Justin Long). The only thing you can be sure of is that it will suck.
Score = 5
"Premieres on VOD, XBox Live and Amazon Nov. 6th."
I don't think anyone has great expectations for this movie.
Score = 7
I'm signing up for Xbox Live right now, and I don't even have an Xbox!
Score = 10
Make sure you don't end up with an Hbox. They are not as fun as they look.
Score = 18
That's illegal, right? Like, even though he's your husband, you're not allowed to keep him hostage taped to a toilet?
Score = 7
You are really adorable sometimes.
Score = 6
I try!
Score = 5
OH, Justin Long is in it. Of course Justin Long is in it.
Score = 6
Who would've thought that guy's career zenith would've been playing a precocious high school student on "Ed."
Score = 6
Well, the trailer doesn't look great but did you see Waitress? I really loved that movie and this also seems to be written by the late Adrienne Shelly. For that alone I'm willing to give this a chance even though Meg Ryan looks like she's been in a boxing match. Seriously, why does her face look all swollen?
Score = 0
Waitress was suggested for WMOAT yesterday.
Score = 0
Yes, but then so were Rachel At The Wedding and Gran Torino, both of which even Gabe had to admit were far from terrible movies.
Score = 1
I meant of course Rachel Getting Married! I always get that title mixed up with Margot At The Wedding which is indeed a terrible movie.
Score = 1
I have to admit I've never watched Waitress, maybe it should be in the hunt for the BMOAT! It's just that I had very recently discovered how to make a link so that the comment I was referring to would appear at the top of the screen and it was burning a hole in my pocket of nerdy things to do.
(If you would like to read this comment again an exact copy can be found further down this very same webpage because I'm an idiot)
Score = 4
Why does Meg Ryan look like Shawna Sand?
And I can't take a movie with Kristin Bell in it seriously after "Scene of the Crime."
Score = 2
Before I clicked play, I thought Meg Ryan was holding a shotgun. Now I can only wish.
Score = 3
Was I the only one who shuddered after Meg Ryan said she'd be "having lots o' sex." Seriously man, ewww.
Score = 6
it's amazing how different her saying that now vs. her saying that in 1986 is, isn't it?
Score = 7
Score = 4
Just reading the reviews on Screen International, Variety and Hollywood Reporter it sounds like the film is a much darker movie than the trailer tries to sell it as, so I dunno.
Score = 2
stockholm syndrome? silly meg ryan, that's not real love
Score = 5
More like BALLOON HEAD.
Score = 1
Why does Meg Ryan have a duck bill for a mouth?
Score = 5
From the writer of "Waitress." That is all.
Score = 2
I had to watch that trailer with the sound off because i'm in a library, but once i saw those flowers hit Hutton on the head and Ryan's hands flew up to her shocked, (horribly acting) face, I knew this was going to be comedy gold. Mel Brooks wishes he wrote comedies like this.
Score = 3
Meg Ryan's acting career tried to have some friends over once and Meg Ryan went nuts and taped it to a toilet.
Score = 0
This movie is like an alternative version of French Kiss. Except that in this version Meg Ryan doesn't follow Timothy Hutton to Paris, she kidnaps him instead.
Score = 1
Why do I get the feeling that this is more of a drama that's being marketed as a screwball comedy...?
Score = 0
the set design of that bedroom has some serious Tommy Wiseau influences
Score = 6
She reminds me of the Catherine O'Hara character in "For Your Consideration", you know, after she gets all the Botox and can't change her facial expression.
Score = 2
As if Ben Stiller would say "You know, it's probably for the best" about something.
Score = 3
I mean I know this has already occured in most minds but... just for a second watch the whole trailer again but reverse all the sexes.
In case you wanted it to be even more painful
Score = 2
This movie screened at the Tribeca Film Festival this year and after sitting through it (I try not to leave movies even if they're painful like this one), I can attest it's Seriously Terrible. A nominee for the Hunt even.
Score = 1
A true story about Justin Long.... he is from my home town so his movie the Sasquatch Gang premiereed in our local theatre, me and my friend went... we were lucky enough to be sitting right behind Justin.... my friend thought it would be funny to kick his seat.... the moment his foot grazed Long's seat... Justin turned to him and said... CAN I PLEASE WATCH MY FUCKING MOVIE!!!... i'll stick with PC... this was a true story
Score = 5
"Please hold all my calls. It looks like I'm about to have a lot of sex"
Boy, could that become a meme before the movie comes out.
Score = 3
We have to like it you guys, because it was written by someone who is dead. That's what the line about the "person who wrote Waitress" means. Cheryl Hines was in that movie, meaning she granted the Waitress lady's dying wish, to get this script produced. Which is sad. Because, this movie ...
Score = 0
I have to admit I've never watched Waitress, maybe it should be in the hunt for the BMOAT! It's just that I had very recently discovered how to make a link so that the comment I was referring to would appear at the top of the screen and it was burning a hole in my pocket of nerdy things to do.
Score = 0
This is Meg Ryan's idea of toilet humor.
Score = 0
dear hollywood,
please stop creating scenarios in which meg ryan's face will be blown up and projected to larger than life sized. i was a serious meg head like everyone else back in the day (french kiss? the cutest!) but i think we can all agree those days are long past.
cease and desist, sirs or madams.
regards,
