    Ice Queens

    The Bachelor and his babes head to Canada, where dating is a risky business

    Jennifer Chininis
    Feb 6, 2013 | 11:40 am

    Apparently you have to be willing to risk your life to marry Sean Lowe. I suppose that’s one way to narrow down the dating pool: Kill them off.

    Sure, it’s no secret that this bachelor likes adventurous, spontaneous women. But The Bachelor is starting to feel more like Survivor.

    This week the gang is in Canada. Where it is freezing. But that doesn’t stop the girls from whipping out their bikinis! But before those bikinis come out, Sean takes Catherine on their first one-on-one date.

    After canoeing Lake Louise, the group ends up on a beach. But instead of crackling fires and cocktails, they see a tent, an EMT and a lifeguard.

    He picks her up in an enormous snow bus, which he is driving, of course. Then they go play on a glacier in Jasper National Park. “I want someone who can embrace the moment and have fun and just enjoy life,” Sean says. Yeah, we got that.

    Catherine likes that he’s a rugged manly man. “I can’t imagine not falling in love with him,” she says. Cue the drinking game.

    The couple ends up in an ice castle, constructed just for them. These dates are so ridiculously over-the-top that the people are inconsequential, aren’t they? Doesn’t matter who the bachelor is; Catherine would fall for him.

    And vice versa, probably. “I can see myself with Catherine,” Sean says. Drink!

    This date changes Sean’s outlook after last week’s drama. So off to Lake Louise they go, to canoe in the crystal-clear turquoise waters, with snow-capped mountains in the background. Seriously, the scenery is pretty spectacular.

    The group ends up on a beach. But instead of crackling fires and cocktails, they see a tent, an EMT and a lifeguard. That’s right, ladies! You’re going to join the elite Polar Bear Plunge club. So slip into those bikinis and run into those glacier-fed waters. Make sure you get your head wet. Otherwise it doesn’t count!

    You don’t have to do it, Sean tells them. But he would like them to. Lindsay needs no encouragement. She’s outdoorsy, man. And Lesley will do whatever it takes for her man. “I’m gonna get hypothermia for a rose,” she says. “I’m totally fine with that.”

    Because Desiree didn’t have to do the Polar Bear Plunge, she must instead rappel down the side of a cliff to get her picnic lunch. “If anything goes wrong, you’re dropping to your death,” she says.

    Selma is the only one not swayed by his pleas. Good girl. “We come from the desert,” says the Baghdad-born beauty. “We are warm-weather people. Call me a princess. I don’t care.”

    We know there is going to be an emergency, and not just because we’ve seen 100 teasers. But, yes, after being the first one in and the first one out, Tierra needs medical attention. She can’t breathe. She’s folded over. She looks miserable.

    “I feel terrible,” Sean says.

    Naturally, the other girls believe it’s an act. “Once again the ambulance is called,” Lindsay says later. “Tierra couldn’t handle it.”

    “There’s a pattern here,” says AshLee, the personal organizer from Houston. “Tierra is very good at getting attention. I believe she’s faking it.”

    True that, AshLee. Tierrable does know how to work this system. “I’m always getting hurt around you!” Tierra says to Sean, who comes to visit her in her hotel room. She is hooked up to oxygen.

    “You keep managing to find ways to get one-on-one time with me,” he retorts, while they lie in bed together.

    Sean tells her to stay put, to get some rest, but she can’t resist going to the party anyway. She can’t feel her feet. But Tierra the Honey Badger don’t care.

    When Tierra walks in, the girls have a hard time hiding their irritation. “She is a professional at getting attention,” Lesley says. “Everyone, watch your back. We have a Tierrorist on our hands.” Oh, snap!

    Fortunately or unfortunately, this night the drama stays at a low simmer. The next day, Sean takes out Desiree for their second one-on-one. This irritates the women almost as much as Tierra does. Almost.

    Because Desiree didn’t have to do the Polar Bear Plunge, she must instead rappel down the side of a cliff to get her picnic lunch. It is steep and slippery. She is understandably nervous. “If anything goes wrong, you’re dropping to your death,” she says. But she handles it like a champ.

    This one stays alive, so now Sean must do the dirty work himself and actually decide who goes. He doesn’t make one-armed Sarah suffer through the rose ceremony. He knows she’s not the one, so he sends her home. Perhaps it was the unsolicited sharing of family photos that did her in? (At least it wasn’t a full-on scrapbook.)

    At the rose ceremony, Sean is happy again. No more doubts! He keeps Tierra but rejects Daniella and beautiful Selma, who risks shaming her Iranian family to give Sean a little smooch on national TV.

    “I just was overcome with a sense of clarity,” Sean says to the remaining women. “And I knew that you six were the six for me. I’m so optimistic about where this going.”

    Sit with that for a minute. And then go ahead and cackle.

    Sean breaks it to the girls that they are about to get into their bikinis and jump into glacier-fed waters.

    Movie Review

    Dark comedy Friendship covers male bonding with copious cringing

    Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd in Friendship.

    Comedian Tim Robinson has gained a cult following thanks to series like Detroiters and I Think You Should Leave, in which his brand of cringe comedy is on full display. The former Saturday Night Live writer/performer has had a few small movie roles over the years, but he’s now getting his first starring role in the off-kilter Friendship.

    Robinson plays Craig, a mild-mannered suburbanite with a wife, Tami (Kate Mara) and son, Steven (Jack Dylan Grazer). Craig has a boring life that involves little more than going to his middle manager job while wearing the same clothes day after day, anticipating the next Marvel movie, and helping Tami out with her at-home floral business.

    He gets a jolt of energy when Austin (Paul Rudd) moves into the neighborhood. The two men seem to hit it off, with Austin - a weatherman at a local TV channel - even taking Craig on a couple of impromptu adventures. But when Craig commits a couple of faux pas at a group gathering at Austin’s house, their bond starts to fracture.

    Even though the film is written and directed by Andrew DeYoung, it’s clear that Robinson had a big influence on the style of comedy it features. There are no big set pieces with a slew of jokes coming one after another. Instead, the film forces the audience to try to vibe with the very particular type of wavelength it’s giving off, one that could almost be called anti-comedy for the way the laughs come out of left field.

    The 100-minute film is full of random comedic moments, like Steven kissing Tami on the lips, Craig being obsessed with his plain brown clothes, a group sing-along, and more. More often than not, it’s the way Craig reacts to both normal and abnormal situations that gets the laughs. The character is needy and oblivious, two traits that combine to make many of his actions cringeworthy.

    Perhaps most importantly for this type of movie, there are many things in the story that go unexplained or don’t make sense. Seemingly crucial elements are brought up only to fade away just as quickly, while other parts that appeared to be throwaway sections get callbacks later in the film. DeYoung and Robinson are determined to keep the audience on their toes the entire time, never knowing what to expect next.

    Robinson has the perfect face for a story like this, one that’s bland enough to blend into the background but memorable enough to sell the jokes. His demeanor is also excellent, never becoming too expressive, even when he gets angry. With long hair, a mustache, and a certain swagger, Rudd is a great complement to Robinson. Only in a film like this would an everyman like Rudd be considered the suave and cool one.

    There will be some that will see Friendship and come away wondering what the hell they just watched. But anyone who goes in knowing that they’re about to witness a comedy that challenges their sensibilities will likely have a great time.
