The Not very Informative Recap of Hugh Laurie’s Movie Maybe Baby or as it is called in Holland: ‘If Perchance We Are Making the Sex Manipulations Enough There Could Be The Possibility of a Small Human Child’.
I reckon the casting of Hugh Laurie went something more like this:
Ben Elton: Hugh, I want you to be in my movie because not only are you a very good friend, you're also the most fantastic and brilliant actor in the country, if not the world. Hugh Laurie: Pssssh. You are a good friend too Ben, but I'm most definitely not the most fantastic actor in the country. What about our friend Stephen Fry? Or Alan Rickman? Or.... (continues in this vein for many months) BE: I want you to be the leading man in my film, because you will be better than all of them. And besides, it's semi-autobiographical and I know you will give an excellent and sensitive portrayal. HL: Why thank you. I will give the role my very best endeavour. BE: Thank you, I know you will be fantastic. (Pause) About the role.... you will be required to take your clothes off a lot
( ... )
HL: I can't do it. I mean look at me! SF: You look perfectly normal to me. HL: I'm a string bean with a silly accent. SF: Now Hugh, stop putting yourself down. HL: Gangly. SF: Hugh... HL: Oddly proportioned. SF: Hugh! HL: I mean look at this nose. SF: HUGH! HL: ... and these arms.
Lovely to this! It conditioned him for the humiliation later when he had to direct himself in the nude for Forty-something. I think he is more comfortable being mortified than anything else. The man has balls. I mean figuratively, of course.
Of course....
Wonderful, Sheep! What will you do next? I've read all of your recaps, but there are so many more deliciously terrible episodes of House to do, really. It's endless. Surely you don't want an actual job and a real life to get in the way of this, do you?
I saw that movie twice(the second time cause I was a little too concentrated on the more physical scenes in the movie so I missed most of the plot) and while it was funny and I enjoyed it,I can't for the life of me remember anything but the sex scenes and the Rowan Atkinson stuff.
Hugh should do another movie like that and he should do full frontal ,I'm sure he has nothing to be ashamed of.
