Part II of my Let’s Watch America-centered movies in Wales Tour.
Let’s play Guess What Happens!
- The movie opens with five inexperienced friends acting like nothing bad could ever happen to them driving into the path of a tornado. GUESS WHAT HAPPENS!
- The lead character’s friend gets her to help him with his tornado chasing company. Whenever the lead gets near the man bankrolling the friend’s company, the friend steers her away from the conversation. GUESS WHAT HAPPENS!
- The friend’s company is slick and high-tech. There is another group of tornado chasers that the friend hates; they are low-tech and wild- maybe dangerous- but charming. GUESS WHAT HAPPENS!
- The low-tech group is led by a handsome, charming man. When the lead first meets him, she rejects him. GUESS WHAT HAPPENS!
There is exactly ONE direct reference to the original film.
This time I counted the commercials (not trailers, commercials) before the movie. There were FIFTEEN, including three for the armed forces, one for a cleaning product, and one misguided commercial for KFC. Is Kentucky Fried Chicken popular in Wales? I’ve seen a bunch of them- more than I’ve seen McDonalds.
