The first thought that went through my head when I first heard the news that Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake were going to appear together in a romantic comedy was “Oh good… this way I can avoid them both by skipping just one movie! it’s like killing 2 birds with 1 stone”.
So what romantic comedy? The good folks over at Digital Spy give us the skinny:
the couple will star together in a romantic comedy as a figure-skater and speed-skater respectively. “The whole thing is set at the Olympic Games in the Olympic Village,” said a source. “Cameron and Justin have been working on a number of ideas together and this is one they are seriously considering taking it on themselves.”
This idea is about as good as a Pauley Shore comeback special. I used to LOVE Diaz, but after “My Best Friends Wedding” my enjoyment of her performances has been steadily declining. As for Timberlake… well… you all know what I think of pop-stars trying to become movie stars too. I’ll pass on this one thanks.
