Kristen Bell's Movies Strip Away Sight, In Addition To Laughs


It has many more noteworthy sins, certainly, but it's interesting that Kristen Bell's You Again is her second film this year to feature sensory deprivation eating. The other was punishingly unfunny When in Rome, which also essentially had two settings: broad, and broader. That film's one potentially amusing bit — in which Josh Duhamel's character takes Bell's character to a pitch-black restaurant, in which the lack of sight is supposed to heighten other senses, and an appreciation of the food and drink — is botched and rushed. In You Again, it's Bell's screen dad, played by Victor Garber, who's undertaking a diet where he blindfolds himself, in order to let his stomach tell him more naturally when he's full. No word yet on if this has worked or will work for any audience members, who might blindfold themselves in an effort to even more accurately gauge how full of shit the movie is.
