A Romantic Comedy About Saving Lobsters?

Mads, my Norwegian companion, and I, were flown out to LA recently to witness the premier of a new romantic comedy starring, who else, Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. This one was special, though, because the screenplay was written by my own personal biographer, Matty.

The film was about McConaughey as this eccentric dude who’s into all these get rich quick schemes. His newest one involves creating a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lobsters. Kate Hudson is a marine biologist from Maine who happens to love eating lobsters and is an advocate of the Maine lobster fishing industry. They have a mutual friend who invites them over to dinner one night, with disastrous results. As in all romantic comedies, they hate each other’s guts at first. Then they grow on each other. Then they fall in love. It was a sack of paint-by-numbers asscrack, and as you can well imagine, it had a great first weekend, grossing over $14 million.

"I thought it was kind of cute," Mads said.

"You would."

"Bite me."
