Flipping through the TV channels recently, I spotted that The Specialist was going to be on, the 1994 bomb starring Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone.
I couldn’t remember what it was about, so I clicked on the “Info” and discovered that my TV was sassier than a baby mama on “Maury.”
“Tedious in the extreme.” What a sick burn from the telly. For some reason, I picture someone narrowing their gaze and adjusting their eye glasses while saying this phrase.
On the other hand, other one-star films like National Security get generous descriptions.
“Martin Lawrence is at his wisecracking best”—in a film that received one star, meaning that it’s the worst.
Is caustic sarcasm a new addition to TVs? If so, I’ll take this over DVR any day.
That could be a great name for a show: Extreme Tediousness
Maybe even though the movie sucks Martin Lawrence is at his best. Which isn’t really saying much.
The reviewer probably prefers bad comedies to bad dramas!
