Last night we saw the twelfth of our thirteen films, The Pleasure Of Your Company (tiff | imdb), a slightly above average romantic comedy. Normally the genre turns me off, but this one was reasonably funny. Completely lowbrow in parts (snot jokes just don’t seem to fit at the festival, and a man eating his stepdaughter’s diaphragm doesn’t belong anywhere), but I have to admit it was nice to laugh again after seeing so many heavy films.

Jason Biggs has this character down to a shlubby science, Isla Fisher is haaaawwwwwwwwwtttt, and the supporting cast was good (except Joe Pantoliano, but it wasn’t his fault; his character was just so out of place), so I’d say this was an ok movie done very well. As far as romantic comedies go, this was a good one, but that’s kinda like being the best remedial student.
