The Last Movie You Watched

[Rev. Rye]

THis week in the Deep Hurting Project is Just Getting Started. And, like last week, it's another one where the TVTropes' SBIH entry is vague about why it's so terrible. It's just that it wastes the talents of Tommy Lee Jones, Morgan Freeman, and Rene Russo on a bunch of shitty script.

• Aw, how cute, they're actually trying to make this into a Christmas movie.  Joke's on you; Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is still a better Christmas movie in this vein.
  
• Why is Ben Shapiro working in a retirement home?
  
• $5,000 out of Petty Cash? Isn't that usually limited to about a few hundred at most?
  
• This is just a bog-standard mob comedy. I don't think anyone would give a shit about it if they didn't cast two Oscar winners in it. 
  
• Why is this bit with a rattlesnake so fucking boring?
  
• Everyone's favorite Santa Claus? Isn't that supposed to be a big taboo for events like this, just in case someone brings their young kids who haven't figured it out?
  
• Johnny Mathis only did 42 albums? Because looking at his discog page on Wikipedia reveals that, by the time they made this movie, it'd be 72.
  
• Okay, so Morgan Freeman's in the WPP; so why is he still such a high roller?
  

This movie's giving me fuck-all to work with. Good thing the Project's going back into dormancy.
