Paul Rudd - one way or another

After the busy-ness of two weekends ago, my husband and I made the realization that we had no plans for this past weekend. We had some dinner and hang-out time with friends on Friday night, but Saturday was pretty much wide open. After doing some damage on the DVR and some clarinet serenades (now do you understand how little we had to do?), we decided to go to the movies. We haven't actually been to a movie theatre the entire month of March - since the Oscars. We set out to our local Alamo Drafthouse (Lake Creek, the red-headed step-child of the Austin Alamos) to see "I Love You, Man." An important caveat to this story - while I LOVE the concept of the Drafthouse (food and drink/booze while watching a movie), I don't really love their food - especially not any of their (in my mind) healthier fare. HOWEVER, since Lake Creek doesn't really share a menu with the others, they carry a delicious salad known as the Buffalo Chicken Salad. This was my compromise - no guilt about popcorn and sangria if I have a salad. Anyways, we arrive at Lake Creek ONE HOUR BEFORE the movie and it is sold out. There is nothing else there that we want to see, so we head back to the car. Upon calling two of the three other Drafthouses, we discover one is not showing said film and the other one is, but, you guessed, it's sold out. If this was a review about the Alamo, I would be PISSED. Next time, buy online, is all I have to say.
So...since we were in town, we decided to get some take-out and rent a movie. Predictably we grabbed Banzai - our favorite local sushi place. The food was delicious even at home, but since they drizzled some sort of sauce on my shrimp tempura roll, it was a little mushy. But not the end of the world. The miso soup was still hot and I felt satiated and pleased.
Since we couldn't view "I Love You, Man" in the environment we intended, we opted to rent "Role Models," featuring Paul Rudd, Seann William Scott and McLovin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). Here's the thing - it goes just like you expect it to, so don't think they're out to fool you. But it is funny. The real stars were their mentees from Sturdy Wings - C M-P and Bobb'e J. Thompson. They play their roles well and end up being very endearing. Plus, the little one curses a lot, which my husband finds hilarious (don't we all?). Once it was over, I enjoyed it, but I probably wouldn't watch it again. I don't think it's worth a buy either, although my husband does.
We may try to venture to see "I Love You, Man" this weekend, but if not, maybe we'll just rent "Zack and Miri Make a Porno"...
