If You Only Knew

Billionaire Ripley Price (Mathew McConaughey) has it all -- Beautiful women, expensive cars, and an exhilarating sense of adventure. He spends his days skydiving and his nights on various beaches around the world (most of which, he owns). But Ripley's life is turned upside down when a surprise visit from an ex-one-night-stand (Justine Bateman) reveals something he could never conquer...an eight year-old daughter with autism (Elle Fanning).
Now Ripley must choose between his life of risk and the risk of losing the best thing that ever happened to him. His business partner (Nicky Katt) is going behind his back to take over the empire and his ex-wife (Leslie Mann) is ruining his reputation with every word she prints in the biggest Gossip Magazine in New York. Will Ripley own up to the responsibility that comes with an autistic daughter? Or will he save his dynasty and look after his own interests like he always has?
* note - one of the endings should have something to do with him starting a school for autistic children. Just saying.

It only took you 6 posts to come up with one I will not be seeing.

Um, your comments aren't going to help us sell these. Think before you write, okay Porn Jenkins?

Oh, right.

ATTN: Producer Types. If you make a movie that I will not see, that does not necessarily mean it will not make lots of money. It probably only means it stars Matthew McConaughey.And he = $$$.

In this instance, looks like MM = OSCAR (TM) GOLD, too.

Question, speaking of OSCAR (TM) - Do you know who will be singing the sure-to-be-nominated title song from this (cough) film? Do you have a particular songwriter in mind? Any sample lyrics you could share?

Well, I guess I left out the part where Queen Latifah gets hired to take care of the daughter and therefore will not only teach her sass but also sing the title song "If You Only Knew"....

an excerpt:

If you only knew
when I was coming home again
The sky will turn blue
and the poets will poem again

when you get older
and life doesn't make sense
you can look in my folder
which has gotten quite dense

The Folder of Sass Instruction?

Boxcar said...

Um, yeah that works too!
