movie forecast: mr. woodcock

editor's note: for a detailed explanation of a movie forecast, click here

billy bob thornton has been nominated for an academy award twice as an actor and has even won an oscar for screenwriting. so obviously he is talented and is not a bad actor. so why does he make so many bad movies? my only guess is that he's going through a divorce or has a drug problem and needs the money badly. anyway, with mr. woodcock, he continues his streak of formulaic and unoriginal comedies. it seems as though everyone is miscast in this movie, especially seann william scott as some pansy kid. and why is susan sarandon doing in this movie? isn't she supposed to be a great actress? she's really co-starring in mr. woodcock? this just doesn't make any sense at all.

as for the movie, i don't know anything about it except that billy bob thornton's character doesn't like seann william scott's character, and vice versa. i can already predict what will happen in this movie: they will play pranks on each other, then in the end some crazy force or cause will unite them and they will understand the other person's point of view. oh, and i almost forgot to include the part where it will suck.

prognosis: 4/10

I must agree with you on this movie forcast. I don't even see it really being that entertaining. A 4 is about right.
