I used to think it belonged to the cop who was running the sting on Larry Craig, but now I’m not so sure.
Over the weekend I pulled out the 1996 Doug McGrath-helmed, Emma, which stars the young Gwyneth Paltrow. It’s not a great movie, but it’s fun, and it’s Austen, and it’s probably Paltrow’s best performance. Anyway, while gazing at the DVD case, I noticed for the first time how the film is plugged on the back:
This delightfully fun and lighthearted comedy is based on the story that inspired the hit movie Clueless! Dazzling Gwyneth Paltrow (The Perfect Murder) shines as Emma–a mischievous young beauty who sets up her single friends. Funny thing is . . . she’s not very good at it! So when Emma tries to find a man for Harriet (Toni Collette–Muriel’s Wedding), she makes a hilariously tangled mess of everyone’s lives. You’ll enjoy all the comic confusion . . . until Emma herself falls in love, finally freeing everyone from her outrageously misguided attempts at matchmaking!
Having to write that copy surely qualifies as the worst job in America.
