A.K.A “Spring Breakdown Coming Out on DVD”..

Dear Void,
Just in case you’re listening, I had really wanted to see Spring Breakdown on the big screen (again). And no that doesn’t mean a white sheet stretched across the clothes line in the backyard! I had aspirations to buy a big-ass tub of goopy-buttered popcorn and sit in a large air-conditioned theatre and see Rachel and Amy along with hundreds of others all gathered together in a mutual “wow Rachel/Amy/Parker is the most awesome female on the planet!!” show of admiration and support, and having a great time! I’ve seen this film and can vouch for the wonderful time that WOULD HAVE been had for the movie-going public had this been released theatrically.

I don’t see why it couldn’t have had a limited release at least. There’s been some pretty shitty films out there recently that are little more than havens to escape the L.A heatwave. The studios gave them a chance anyway. Why not this?! With the success of “Baby Mama”, and “Sex in the City”, coupled with the really good scores it got from the test audience (of which I was a part), this film more than proved it could hold it’s own!

I seriously don’t get it. But we move on. Last I heard, “Spring Breakdown” will be released July 15th. At first I got excited that the film was getting a second chance! But then I realized “tuesday” is usually the day of the week when DVDs get released. So okay.. we can look forward to the DVD - and PLEASE rent it! Give the film your show of support and rent it the day it comes out! I promise you that you won’t be sorry. It’s not going to change the world and it’s not “Gone With The Wind” masterpiece-worthy. But it’s a damn good time, it’s really funny, it’s fun! The ending ROCKS! And it stars 3 very talented, cute, hilarious women! :)

If you love Rachel Dratch ( I do, and I run her website. Check it out! ), Amy Poehler, Parker Posey, you will be so happy you took my advice! ;-) You will thank me, send me flowers, take me out to dinner and drinks or least a quick lunch and coffee! And you will thank me for having cured what ails you, with a Rx of “rent Spring Breakdown”. Haha!

As befitting the title of this post - I’m wondering why Rachel withdrew from the play “Scramble”. :( Seems sudden and for “no reason given”. Just hoping everything is okay with her.
