Off the clock with The Checkout Girl: Now in 3-D!

It seems that Hollywood can’t make a movie these days without shooting it in 3-D. But why? Is everything really better when it feels like you are right in the middle of the action? YES! Why do you think people go to NASCAR races? Or spend time with Lindsay (milka-wha?) Lohan?

Laissez les bon temps rouler!
