This article is to “fridging” what that Alanis song is to "ironic."

Despite the flimsy nature of the plot, I wanted to love this because I’m a hopeless sap at times. But every single time it approached an insightful idea or profound moment, the script undercut it with one of about 10,000 dad jokes and water puns. Literally. Every. Single. Time.

Your fragility is showing

I know I am an SNL apologist, but I thought this episode was solid enough.

I once watched this old television program called “Siskel and Ebert at the Movies” in which two film critics would frequently disagree with each other...despite being on the same show! It was madness.

1) Didn’t she cheat on him? Did they not both make songs that say, in no uncertain terms, that she cheated on him?
