OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL: HOW MILA KUNIS' PMS RUINED THE MOVIE

I just finished watching OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL. It is supposed to be a kind of prequel to THE WIZARD OF OZ. It has a lot of big names in it, like James Franco, Rachel Weisz and Mila Kunis. And Sam Raimi himself directed it. I was looking forward to seeing it.

And then when I saw it something unusual happened. No, nothing to do with the story or the acting or even the dialogue. Actually, it had nothing to do with the movie itself. Something else.

It was Mila Kunis.

Well, her face.

The weirdest and worst and most horrifying part of this film is Mila Kunis’ face. (And I am not talking about when she turns green and ugly and into a witch.) Mila Kunis is usually very gorgeous. Yet, during the first third of this movie her face is very bloated. It had an extremely puffy appearance to it. Later, about half ways through the movie her face no longer appears “bloated” or “puffy.” I suspect it is the result of PMS. Yes, premenstrual syndrome. One of the physical symptoms of PMS can be a bloated face. Something about retaining water. (I could be wrong and this could just be the result of a little too much overeating.) 

And I dare anyone to watch this film and pay close attention to Mila Kunis’ face and say it is not bloated in the early scenes. I know it is not politically correct to say such a thing, but what if it is the truth? And her face is not just slightly bloated, but very significantly bloated. And this strange phenomenon ruined the whole movie for me. Okay, the movie overall was bad, but this made it worse. I wanted my money refunded, but I doubted the establishment would give me back my money due to a 29-year-old thespian’s menstrual cycle. 

Yet, am I wrong for complaining or bringing this subject up? Should I have just pretended this thing is not occurring? By speaking about PMS-actress bloating (PMSAB) have I taken the truth too far? Maybe. Still, someone should have told her, warned her. Or, maybe I should just be thankful this thing comes because without it I and all of us would not be here.
