Speaker 1: Spreite the flick with bedow Shade. Well, good morning, Morning,
0:09
Speaker 1: Morning SPA Weekend.
0:11
Speaker 2: Describe this as a chick flick. Yeah, absolutely, like it's
0:14
Speaker 2: it's one of those films that they have, those those
0:16
Speaker 2: you know, so called chicks at the Flicks sessions. I
0:19
Speaker 2: guarantee you they will all be sold out this weekend
0:22
Speaker 2: because I know pretty much every woman that I know
0:25
Speaker 2: has circled this film SPA Weekend in their calendar for months.
0:29
Speaker 2: You know, they see the posters, see the trailers. And
0:31
Speaker 2: you've got Isle of Fisher, our very own Isle of Fisher,
0:34
Speaker 2: who is one of the funniest actresses in Hollywood. She's amazing.
0:38
Speaker 2: Leslie Man, who could forget her performance in the forty
0:41
Speaker 2: year Old Virgin, one of the funniest scenes ever. You've
0:45
Speaker 2: got Anna Faris, who was so big in the naughties
0:47
Speaker 2: movies like The House Funny, so she's like kind of
0:49
Speaker 2: comedy legend as well. Michelle Buteux, stand up comedians, extremely
0:56
Speaker 2: funny actresses, all in this one film.
1:00
Speaker 1: It's terrible. It's so bad.
1:04
Speaker 2: There is no jokes, it's not funny. I did not
1:07
Speaker 2: get one laugh out of this. Oh my goodness, So
1:12
Speaker 2: thanks for coming along I was getting one of those.
1:16
Speaker 2: If I was getting one of those mud mud treatments,
1:19
Speaker 2: I'd say put it over my eyes, in my ears.
1:22
Speaker 2: Block out this movie so I don't have to watch
1:23
Speaker 2: any more of it. And I know people listening might
1:26
Speaker 2: be going, oh, you're a bloke. You just don't get it.
1:28
Speaker 2: Do you know who else didn't get it? The two
1:30
Speaker 2: blokes who wrote and directed the film. They have no
1:33
Speaker 2: idea about spa weekends. And so it comes from the
1:38
Speaker 2: two fellas who wrote the Hangover. Okay, so that was
1:41
Speaker 2: a classic comed's good. And they also directed Bad Mums
1:46
Speaker 2: with Catherine Hahn. That was that was a curse. That
1:49
Speaker 2: was okay. But so then they've gone but clearly what
1:52
Speaker 2: they've done has gone, Oh, you know Hangover, you know,
1:54
Speaker 2: boys behaving badly? That made so much money. Let's do
1:57
Speaker 2: girls behaving badly will make heaps of money off the
2:00
Speaker 2: chicks and and and so what what are girls into? Oh,
2:03
Speaker 2: they're like a spiler weekend, So let's do that. And
2:07
Speaker 2: then they've tried to justify the script by saying, oh,
2:10
Speaker 2: we based it on, you know, on what we thought
2:12
Speaker 2: our wives liked. Oh wow, did they ask good work?
2:16
Speaker 2: I don't think so while it is so dumb shot
2:19
Speaker 2: in the Gold Coast from the cart, Yeah, and so
2:23
Speaker 2: Gold Coast is filling in for some US luxury spa resort.
2:27
Speaker 2: These these four women are all kind of like except
2:30
Speaker 2: for Isle of Fisher or high powered you know, sort
2:32
Speaker 2: of executives, busy lives. They want to get away from
2:35
Speaker 2: it all and reconnect because they've drifted apart a little
2:37
Speaker 2: bit at a spa weekend. And then over the course
2:40
Speaker 2: of the weekend, you know, there's high jinks, there's weird
2:43
Speaker 2: spa treatments like yoga with goats. Maybe that's a real thing.
2:47
Speaker 1: That it is a real thing, but it's been around
2:49
Speaker 1: for a long time now.
2:50
Speaker 2: There's nothing, there's nothing original.
2:53
Speaker 1: After watching after watching the trailer, this is going as expected.
2:57
Speaker 2: Leslie Man's characters sort of a single mum who hasn't
3:00
Speaker 2: who hasn't had time to you know, sort of find
3:03
Speaker 2: romance for years, given up on it basically. And then
3:05
Speaker 2: there's a hot yoga hunk played by Adam Demos who
3:09
Speaker 2: she ends up having a bit of a romance with.
3:12
Speaker 2: I don't know what else to tell you. Did he
3:14
Speaker 2: play the dumb Aussie in that other the one with
3:18
Speaker 2: Brian Brown or anyone, but you no, no, that was
3:20
Speaker 2: a different DUMFERENTI. The worst thing about it, The worst
3:24
Speaker 2: thing about it is how Isle of Fisher gets treated
3:29
Speaker 2: in terms of the script. She just doesn't get any jokes.
3:31
Speaker 2: It's like they've said, it's like they've said, this role
3:34
Speaker 2: was written for Rebel Wilson, but we can't. We don't
3:37
Speaker 2: really want to cast Rebel Wilson because of the unpleasantness.
3:39
Speaker 2: So let's get another Ossie to play rebel Wilson. And
3:43
Speaker 2: that's you watch Isle of Fisher and you go, hang on,
3:45
Speaker 2: this is not your style of comedy. This is this
3:47
Speaker 2: is the sort of thing we'd see from Rebel Wilson,
3:49
Speaker 2: a cringe worthy, over the top, much more subtle and hilarious.
3:54
Speaker 2: And so and this is now the second film recently
3:56
Speaker 2: where I've I've seen an Australian or a key we
3:59
Speaker 2: cast as a Rebel Wilson character. It's like, that's just
4:02
Speaker 2: what they expect from Australia and comedies. Now it's Wilson.
4:07
Speaker 1: How many Namas stays are you giving Namos?
4:11
Speaker 2: Stay at home?
4:13
Speaker 1: Watch it one star, one star, one star, feeling generous. Okay, well,
4:22
Speaker 1: they still flocked to see it.
4:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, and because Spider Man is so successful, you'll
4:27
Speaker 2: have heaps of people go to the cinema anyway for
4:29
Speaker 2: Spider Man in the Odyssey and then spa weekend will
4:31
Speaker 2: probably get that side business. I think it could actually
4:33
Speaker 2: do pretty well.
4:34
Speaker 1: For the people who couldn't get into the other two.
4:36
Speaker 1: All right, thanks, thanks, hopefully with something better next week's
