The five biggest atrocities leaving Netflix in April
The feeling is not mutual.
I Love You, Man is a boring, thankless movie that attempts to simultaneously solve the third-wheel dilemma, and the “how ridiculous can the likable Paul Rudd’s hair become until we people dislike him”-question. The unfathomable world in which Paul Rudd doesn’t have friends is only compounded by the Powerball-odds of finding a random, new BFF who is such a perfect fit for best man of the wedding that he actually strains the wedding. Serendipity had a more believable wedding story arc.
Rumor has it the sequel will involve a marriage between Jason Mamoa and Jessica Alba, and the impossibility of someone willing to hang out with the couple on a nude beach.

Silver Linings Snoozefest
So you have bipolar disorder and you’re already upset at not only Netflix for taking away your favorite movie but this list for including it. Sorry, not sorry. It’s boring. Jennifer Lawrence plays a character named Jennifer Lawrence who does all sorts of Jennifer Lawrence stuff while dealing with her supposed pain of being a widow, and eventually with Bradley Cooper.
There’s a stupid bet by DeNiro – Cooper’s father – that involves superstition, his life’s savings, the Philadelphia Eagles, and receiving a mediocre score during a horribly contrived dance recital that for some reason, can only be practiced for and conducted on Football Sunday. And to make matters worse, DeNiro is probably as mentally deranged as his son, yet learns absolutely nothing at the end of the movie because he wins the so-absurd-no-bookie-would-take-it-bet.
