Delirious- A light drama (technically what one would call a comedy with no laughs) but because of the performances of it's leads, Steve Buscemi and Michael Pitt, the movie is a little better than average. In other words, it's the movie I felt like seeing at the moment, but it won't leave any impact on me in any way. Through all the noise of the "comedy", you get a slight glimpse into the disappointing world of paparazzi, but at it's core, the movie is really only about two things: The friendship between Buscemi and Pitt, and the romance between Pitt and a musician character played by Alison Lohman. Even though you have no idea how the romantic interest works (it honestly doesn't seem like one of those soul mate things as it claims it is, just a dude who thinks a girl is beautiful and a girl who thinks the dude will be the first guy to treat her right), I still find myself rooting for them, though thats probably just the charm of Pitt and the cuteness of Lohman, so I'm not sure if it counts.
Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch has a Glitch- Some disney straight-to-dvd films are enjoyable. This is not really one of them. The movie's plot surrounds around a) a hula competition b) the attempt of one character to win the other character's affections through the use of jealousy by dating an alien (although the one who should be jealous knows from the beginning it is a ploy so it's useless), and c) Stitch having a Glitch. Outside of the characters, it hardly connects to the first one, and the plot lines aren't interesting enough to keep me involved in the characters. In fact, it was kind of boring. Like an episode of Dora the Explorer, the film follows through like a procedural with "let's go to the mountains" and "we have to create a machine to help Stitch" and even an emotionally wild "Stitch is dead!". We all know he'll come back to life with the power of love, duh, so this movie is pretty much useless. Lilo & Stich 2: Make a Quick Buck.
