I would have to say that overall this is one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen, but I would go see it again. The plot was just plain stupid, most of the acting, except for Sarah and Larry Gillard Jr., was pretty bad, and the special effects were patheic at times. The reason I would go see it again is because I Sarah looked great and gave an overall good proformance. So uless you are a major Sarah fan, which i think most of us are, you'll probably hate this movie.

But to slam it like that? It was FAR from being the worst....though my biggest gripe is I really thought the plot could've had a LOT more explanation....Oh, ok, its just a magic crab???....whatever...haha On the plus side, Sarah, as usual, was as charming and beautiful as ever. Her co-star Sean was a bit to stiff for my liking....Like he REALLY needed magic to realize the beauty of Sarah....YEAH RIGHT!!...haha.....I thought his assistant was good though.

Sarah Michelle Gellar, of ``Buffy the Vampire Slayer,'' may lure enough TV viewers into multiplexes for this Fox release to post OK opening-weekend numbers. But most audiences will find ``Simply Irresistible'' eminently resistible, even when it is available for home-screen perusal. Gellar plays Amanda Shelton, the none-too-successful owner-chef of a small Manhattan restaurant that has been in her family for 70 years. Unfortunately, Amanda isn't a very good cook, and her clientele has been diminishing. Indeed, her eatery is on the verge of closing when Amanda serendipitously encounters Gary O'Reilly (playwright Christopher Durang), a vaguely defined, fairy-godfatherish fellow. Thanks to O'Reilly's magical intervention, Amanda gains the ability to prepare wonderfully delicious meals that attract many new patrons to her restaurant. More important, as in ``Like Water for Chocolate,'' she is able to spice her food with her most heartfelt -- and highly contagious -- emotions. Shortly after she casts an approving eye on Tom Bartlett (Sean Patrick Flanery), a hunky department store executive, the latter savors Amanda's Crab Napoleon, and develops an instant craving for the chef. Even when magic is involved, however, a romantic comedy has to place a few obstacles in the path of true love. Tom, a commitment-shy workaholic, is reluctant to remain under Amanda's spell, especially when he discovers that he has, quite literally, been bewitched. But he comes to rely on her expertise while overseeing the grand opening of a tony restaurant in the upscale store Henri Bendel. Fresh from his attention-grabbing turn as a sad-eyed pedophile in Todd Solondz's ``Happiness,'' Dylan Baker co-stars as Jonathan Bendel, Tom's stuffy boss. When a snooty chef resigns just before the restaurant opening, Bendel is the one who's most insistent that Amanda assume control of the kitchen. But, then again, Bendel's judgment is more than a little clouded: After sampling one of Amanda's scrumptious desserts, he's swept into a passionate romance with Lois (Patricia Clarkson of ``High Art''), Tom's wisecracking secretary. Working from a strenuously whimsical script by Judith Roberts, first-time feature director (and vet producer) Mark Tarlov misses the mark while aiming for the light, bright tone of classic Hollywood romantic comedies. The pace is brisk -- perhaps a tad too brisk -- and the production values are suitably spiffy. But there is a heavy air of literal-mindedness throughout the pic, even during a fantasy ballroom-dance sequence. It's not enough for Tarlov to hint that spirits are soaring and love is on the wing. Just to make sure no one misses the point, he has Amanda and Tom levitate when they share a heated embrace. Despite game efforts, leads Gellar and Flanery fail to generate anything more potent than low-wattage star power. As a result, their thinly written characters fail to dazzle in sufficiently delightful fashion, and their romance is about as compelling as a plot contrivance on a routine sitcom. It helps little that both actors are repeatedly upstaged by supporting players. (Larry Gilliard Jr. is a standout as Amanda's assistant.) Beyond that, they must vie for attention with all the food, glorious food, that is prepared, served and consumed with such sensuous gusto. Amanda Shelton....................

I've been out for a week with the flu and I'm just getting back to checkin my mail. BOY! There's a lotta stuff to comment and question on... Okay, I was still too sick on Friday, so I couldn't see Simply Irresistable. So...apperently, from all the trashing I've heard on this list and critics, the movie.....sucked. But for those who think it's stupid and just totally trash freely about it on this list, please, DON'T. I'm sure some people on this list adored the movie for the MOVIE, and not for Sarah. I know I haven't even seen the movie yet, but some people have and liked it, and they probably feel like crap cuz other people are trashing it. About Sarah and that Cruel Intentions Preview deal, that was on MTV. It was on on Saturday here in Washington State, and I was able to record it. It was ony half an hour long. Some people, VERY LUCKY PEOPLE, got to get a private screening of the movie. no fair...they just asked questions and commented and Sarah, Selma, Ryan, and Reese just answered the questions. Sarah was so cute, as always, and it was a good interview. They showed some clips from the movie, and if you guys could hear me, you'd hear growling! MAN! There was some raunchy stuff in the parts that they showed. And Sarah doesn't get naked. But you do see Ryan's booty. :) Okay, now a question. The next eppy of Buffy, tomorrow, what's that called and is it like a Valentine's Day episode? What's it about? If someone could tell me, that'd be great! :) Aright, I'm still feeling a bit nauscious, so I'm gonna go. Might hurl on the keyboard and that'll discolor the keys...l8ter all. drdebbie ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - - To unsubscribe to smg-fans, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe smg-fans" in the body of the message.

Hey list editors, do you have any connections that may know? Was she nervous? Did she see something she didn't like? The theater wasn't packed, about half full. Or did someone, a heckler, maybe say something Sarah didn't like?" ........ I know that Sarah has had a thing against watching herself in film and on her show. She loves doing the work but she hates seeing herself on screen. Who was she with, was it Jerry O'Connell of "Sliders", I heard they were last together. By the way I saw "SI" twice this weekend, I just love Sarah, but the reason I mention this is because I thought Sarah had a tatoo high on her back between her shoulder blades. I tried to look for it throughout the whole movie but i couldn't see it. Maybe the makeup department was really good, did anyone else see it? [Mattchris' Editor's note - Sarah's tattoo is in the small of her back. For those of you who don't know where that is...it's a little bit below the opposite side from her belly button. Right above her bootie.] - - To unsubscribe to smg-fans, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe smg-fans" in the body of the message.
