Imagine (that bad movie about John Lennon's assassination never got made)


You gonna finish that?

"Chapter 27," the movie about the assassination of John Lennon by Mark David Chapman, opens Friday, but the AP review is already out. It has a lot of words you don't want to see in a movie if you're the producer: lethargic, ponderous, slog, simplistic, cringe-inducing, and man-boobs. On the other hand, all that seems to work for "American Idol."

The man-boobs reference is because Jared Leto, who plays Chapman, gained 60 pounds for the role. Well, at least he compensated by taking off the eyeliner.

Oh, and Lindsay Lohan is also in it. She plays a woman named...Jude.

Clearly, the best part of this movie will be the reviews, and to save our nation's entertainment journalists some time, we've already written the headlines.
