Boys living next door Are never what they seem

This week's film for my dad was What Just Happened. He likes Robert de Niro as an actor, although normally in tougher roles than this one. But it seemed to get the thumbs up, but perhaps not over enthusiastically so. He found it "a mildly amusing look at Hollywood, but there's not much else I can say about it. It was mildly funny. Not worth a guffaw. There were some people who were guffawing away, but I think that's just for patter and to make it seem like they were getting a message that no-one else was. And D is quite perceptive and he couldn't see what those folk were guffawing about either".

Guffaw really is an underrated word, don't you think?
