I'm sure this is not the way it happened, but I like to think that Chris Rock and Louis C.K. were sitting around watching Rohmer films and said, "you know, I think we could do this one better, especially if we get that foxy chick from 'Firefly.'"

That is SO what happened! I can just imagine the call they made to Rohmer himself.

Wow, and it actually says "Based on the Movie Chloe in the Afternoon" right in the credits. And to think I doubted you.

See, now here's a film where emoticons might be appropriate.

Gina Torres ain't that foxy, especially compared to Kerry Washington.Matt wrote: ... especially if we get that foxy chick from 'Firefly.'"

Huh, I have a strange desire to see this when it comes out. Who's seen Head of State and can comment on Rock's direction?

Just for Laughs: Newer Than New Wave

FOR five decades the brilliant French filmmaker Eric Rohmer, now 86, has been writing and directing quiet, pensive, rigorously unemphatic comedies about the baffled relations between men and women. Because his pictures are (at least superficially) so similar, and because they tend to be pretty much action free, it's not always easy to remember which is which.

I know it's a minor point, but in that Times piece, Rafferty incorrectly names Gina Torres as Rock's object of desire....Torres plays the wife, and the always-hot Kerry Washington plays Chloe/Nikki.
If it was the other way around, you'd have to really suspend your disbelief that Rock might think about cheating on Kerry Washington with Gina Torres.
(That was my sole problem with Rohmer's original, since I find Zouzou one of the most unappealing women ever in a Rohmer film.)

Ha! It sounds terrible but I also found Zouzou very unattractive in Love in the Afternoon and thought it was a pretty easy decision to stay with his much better looking wife.

Uh, "Negro-centric" anyone? Is this normal for White? At least he had something good to say about A Thin Line Between Love and Hate and Breakin' All the Rules.

"Armond White? That guy is breakin' all the rules!"
On the other hand, I'll be in line to see this tomorrow, since I saw Pootie Tang the day it was released, too.

I loved it too. I think if you are a fan of Love in the Afternoon, you'll get a kick out of it. Even if you haven't seen Love in the Afternoon, I Think I love My Wife is a good movie.....if you appreciate blatant comedy. Has anyone else checked it out?
