Really, really contrived


The situation here would only happen in a movie. But hey, its pleasing to watch.

I'm quite a lovely person - apart from my terrible taste in pie.

Yes its contrived, but highly entertaining. ^_^

The vast majority of movies have situations that would never happen in real life.





Dirty night.

Well duh - it's a comedy!

That's like saying Trading Places, Brewsters Millions, Trains Planes and Automobiles, Arthur, Tootsie, Ruthless People, Twins and thousands of other great comedies are also contrived.

They have to have a silly plot premise, to a) make people curious enough to go and see the movie in the first place, and b) to stay engaged once they're viewing it.
