I thought it was.....OK.virgovictoria said:
We saw "Must Love Dogs" this weekend - and I think it's just Diane Lane, because while the movie was ....ok...it should have been great. Everyone else was pretty good. Stockard Channing, Elizabeth Perkins, Christopher Plummer and of course, Cusack in a role he's played so many times, it should come NATURAL to him.
I felt that way about "Sun". For some reason, it just doesn't come off. And I have to think, it's Lane. She's an adorable actress, but she doesn't seem animated for the role. Unlike many of my favorite actors - (I watched "The Replacements" this weekend, and forgot just how natural Gene Hackman plays his roles) - Lane always seems like she's reading her lines rather than portraying a role. I kept thinking how many other actresses would have been able to play the same role with more credibility.
Both Lane movies had me leaving the theater thinking " I will probably watch this some years from now - again - and forget I ever saw it in the first place".

To late for this week, but keep in in mind for next Sunday. TBS airs "Minding the Store" every Sunday night at 10pm. It's a faux reality show starring Pauly Shore. It's hilarious and very entertaining. 
Minding The Store
Pauly Shore and the world-famous The Comedy Store Stage a Comeback in TBS's Original Comedy Series, Minding the Store
series premieres Sunday, July 17 at 10/9c
TBS, television's very funny network, is giving down-but-not-out comedian Pauly Shore (Encino Man, Jury Duty) the chance to get his mother's world-famous Comedy Store back on track, while also giving his own career a boost, in a new original comedy series Minding the Store. The half-hour series, premiering Sunday, July 17 at 10/9c, comes to TBS from Shapiro/Grodner Productions (Big Brother) and Bayonne Entertainment, with Arnold Shapiro, Allison Grodner and Rob Lee executive-producing.
"The Comedy Store is the place where such comedians as Jim Carrey, Richard Pryor and David Letterman got their starts, so it seems perfectly fitting for television's very funny network to follow its revival," said Steve Koonin, executive vice president and chief operating officer of TBS. "The show will blend the comedy on-stage at The Comedy Store with the quirky personalities and offbeat backstage antics of Pauly Shore and his mother, Comedy Store owner Mitzi Shore."
Minding the Store opens with Mitzi Shore reluctantly handing over the reins of her legendary Comedy Store to her youngest son Pauly, in the hopes that maybe he can pump some life back into it. With his plans of renovations, new promotions and A-list talent, Pauly's goal of making the comedy club great again proves to be a daunting task, especially since his mom just can't seem to let him take over completely.
Equally as daunting are Pauly's attempts to regain his professional footing as an actor, taking classes and telling his agent to put him up for serious, more dramatic roles. He also runs into problems as he tries to juggle relationships with the women in his life and finally date someone "appropriate."
The Comedy Store, located on the Sunset Strip, was founded in 1972 by Mitzi Shore and her husband, comedian Sammy Shore. From the beginning, it featured the top new comedic talent on the circuit, quickly becoming host for HBO's Young Comedians Special in 1980. The venue continues to present stand up comedy seven days a week.
