I can never feel...I love you for loving this movie! I can never feel too sorry for Colonel Fitz, because he's such a huge knob and I hate him, in a nutshell. But it's nice to be able to understand him that little bit more. I want to save Allison Janney so badly! Even though it was like 10 years ago, and she's fine in real life!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-18288199569531939372011-02-27T17:29:18.417+00:002011-02-27T17:29:18.417+00:00I love this movie.

There was a time when I was obsessed with it and would watch it several nights in a row. <br />I think that both Lester and Carolyn are the same mid-life crisis but fixating on different types of people. I think they're trying to overcome their own mediocrity and while Lester fixates on a teenage girl, Carolyn fixates on an older man.<br />I do feel sorry for the Ricky's father in a way, he finally steps outside his comfort zone and gets rejected, which leads to a further downward spiral. But overall, I really didn't like him. I felt so bad for his mother as well. She makes me the saddest of all. You really do want to rescue her.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826716134008160506noreply@blogger.com
