Kate Hudson is Actually Better Than This

The previews for the new Kate Hudson/Owen Wilson/Matt Dillon romantic comedy You, Me, and Dupree didn't even look funny.

They looked painful. Really painful.

And full of gross-out jokes.

*yawn*

But, you know, Kate Hudson is better than this. I'm not saying she's an Emma Thompson by any stretch of the imagination, and nobody is Emma Thompson, but she's better than this film.

I enjoyed her turn in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, which included great roles for Matthew McConaughey and Bebe Neuwirth.

I thought that she was really adorable in Raising Helen, possibly because I have a soft spot for John Corbett and will watch almost anything that also includes Joan Cusack.

Yes, they're silly romantic comedies. Very silly. And very cutesy. But they're a lot of fun, especially because of the way they showcase Ms. Hudson's cutesy-ness. She's not talented; she's cutesy. Kind of like Sandra Dee. And everybody loves Sandra Dee, right?
