The Great Birthday Dilemma

[indy42 - THE FILMMAKER]

Hey y'all, you know my birthday was a week ago and I'm having a birthday party this coming Sunday. We planned to go to a movie... but there's nothing to see.

And I mean nothing... that works with my squeamish, wimpy friends.

I wanted to see Machete, but everyone vetoed that because they're... squeamish. And wimpy. They'd prefer comedy.

One of them suggested The Other Guys - except that's been out for a month and one of them has seen it already.

The other comedy options are either not a movie that would fit a 16th male birthday party (Going the Distance, The Kids are All Right, The Switch) or something I've already seen (Scott Pilgrim), or, again, too violent (The Expendables).

So here's my question to you, folks: WTF do I do?!

Or, how do I convince my friends to go see Machete?

Dinner with Schmuckies looks like what a 16 year old boy would watch

Dinner For Schmucks is SHIT! Really really awful.


Bottom line is -- It's your birthday movie. Go see what YOU wanna' see and your friends should agree with that. Tell 'em to grow a pair if they're too squeamish ;D

^Agreed. ;D

It's your birthday, your choice of movie

Well, my Mom just exploded at me for wanting to "drag people to see what they don't want to see". I'm at the mercy of my friends, ironically enough.

That's dumb. Try to coerce your friends into it WITHOUT telling your mom

maybe you should politely punch her in the face.
