I sold a copy of the "Miss Congeniality 2" soundtrack to Andrew Dice Clay while working at a mall music store. His bodyguards started ribbing him about his choice and he said, "What?! It's a good f**king movie!"

You have no idea how relieved I am that I am not the only person who does this.

I see your point on Promise, though I tend to forgive her daughter's vocal affectations because she is 13. Her vocals are pretty sophisticated and smooth for someone so young. The R&Bisms were subtle enough to me that it didn't really interfere with my enjoyment.

On your second point, I think it depends on the region. Housing costs are really high in my city so I know plenty of people in their 30s who live with housemates and not just partners. Many single people can't afford to live alone, so I don't see that aspect as unrealistic at all. There's a lot of comic potential…

Silly fictional characters. Weird Al's live show is amazing. I appreciated the "Chicken Pot Pie" reference as well.
