"Her" "Really Changed Me" Says Friend Who Won't Shut Up about "Her"
EVANSTON, IL – At 6:50 PM Saturday, your friend saw the film Her, and, since his time of viewing the movie, has, quite literally, not stopped talking to you about how you need to see it.
“No, dude, you don’t understand, it’s very powerful,” your friend remarked to you late Saturday evening. "It’s honestly the most intimate love story I think I’ve ever seen. Like, maybe more so than Eternal Sunshine. No, I’m serious.”
Her, written and directed by the same guy who co-created a show where coke addicts willingly got kicked in the crotch for your entertainment, is, as far as you can tell, about a guy who falls in love with his iPhone. You also noticed that the chick who played Mark Wahlberg's wife in The Fighter is in it, and, you postulate, she’s probably pretty good in whatever role she’s playing.
The film has received acclaim critically, commercially, and from your friend, who just this morning texted you, reminding you to, if you have the chance, see it as soon as you possibly can.
“It changed me dude you won’t regret it,” your friend said over text message. “I know you like deep movies so I don’t see why you wouldn’t like this one.”
This marks the third year in a row your friend has incessantly pestered you to see a film he really really likes around Oscar season. Last year, at his unrelenting behest, you saw Les Misérables, a movie that is approximately 8 hours long and features musical numbers sang by the guy from Gladiator; and the year before last year, he obsessively bothered you about Midnight in Paris, a movie directed by a 78-year old man who is married to his stepdaughter.
