Re: What movie changed your opinion of an actor/actress?

[philstar22]

The Wedding Singer is the only romantic comedy I actually like. Adam Sandler in anything else is awful, though.

I didn't hate Pixels, but that was mostly Sandler and Kevin James skirting around their annoying personae, with a serviceable (but far from perfect*) movie running around them.

* The whole Q-Bert/Lady Lisa bit at the end was wrong in at least 3 different ways.

The whole Q-Bert/Lady Lisa bit

Tempted to Google that but have a feeling I'll regret it! How wrong are we talking here?

3 levels wrong!

Spoilers:

In Pixels, Earth is attacked by aliens who take the form of 80s video game characters, for reasons that make sense in context, believe it or not. One of the heroes is obsessed with a character named Lady Lisa - a generic female warrior type from the only fictional game used in the movie.

The aliens apparently have a custom of taking or giving soldiers as trophies after battles. One of the ones they send when humans win is Q-Bert, who starts hanging around with the heroes (mainly Sandler and his love-interest's son).

In the final battle, a Pixel Alien based on Lady Lisa appears...the guy with the Lady Lisa obsession convinces her to change sides, but, as she's not a trophy, when the aliens are defeated and leave, she goes with them. Obsessy-guy laments that everybody else has romantic (or at least sexual) fulfillment, when his dream girl just buggered off back to space. (Sandler's character gets the girl, obviously, James's is already married, and Peter Dinklage's does get the Serena Williams/Martha Stewart three-way he wanted.)

So...Q-Bert changes into Lady Lisa and they start making out, and by the epilogue are shown to have married and had babies (li'l baby Q-Berts).

So, we have...1) Literal trophy wife. 2) The destruction of Q-Bert's identity to serve this purpose. 3) Q-Bert apparently entering into a romantic/sexual relationship (as a totally different person) on the spur of the moment with the dude (who hardly interacted with Q-Bert before the final scene) just so he won't be sad. Also, 4) Seriously, dude, she was Q-Bert not 5 seconds ago, don't you want to take a moment to process this before sucking her face? (Sandler's character actually calls that one out in the movie.)
