Lollilove

When Lloyd Kaufman recommends a movie, you know I've got to sit down and watch it! It's just the way I roll. Well, when I had the chance to see Lloyd speak a few months ago, he recommended highly the movie, Lollilove.



Lollilove is the first directorial effort by Jenna Fischer, who currently stars as Pam in the NBC sitcom, The Office. Her co-star is her real life husband, writer/director, James Gunn. The two play a spoiled, out of touch rich couple who have decided to start their own charity. They feel that if they give the homeless lollypops with inspirational slogans on them, that maybe the homeless will stop being homeless. This is a very interesting 'mock-umentary', poking fun at rich people is always a plus in my personal book, but poking fun at how completely clueless and self-involved some of these people are really made me laugh.

While, it's not keep you rolling on the floor laughable, like This Is Spinal Tap, Lollilove is very funny in it's own way. Jenna and James make a really good couple and they seem to share the same strange sense of humor, let's hope they're not another 'Hollywood couple' that decides that success is more important than their lives...there's too much of that now.



I give Lollilove three cigars, first for the great satire and second because every man I work with has a crush on Jenna, so this ones' for you guys! So, until next time, remember my personal philosophy that the stupid people who wander around us are proof that God has a sense of humor, why else would they be so damn funny? And, remember that the best movies are bad movies!!
