Monday Movie Review

AS IF I am going to do a movie review every week! I go to the theater about twice a year. However, if you want a movie review about classic musicals, like The Sound of Music, I would be happy to do so. Let me know. Today just happens to be Monday and last week I just happened to see a chick-flick with some girly-girls. Which makes this a Monday Movie Review. Enjoy, because it might be the last one I ever do.

A friend of mine got tickets to an early screening of a new romantic comedy, Letters to Juliet. I will be upfront and let you know that romantic comedies are NOT my thing. But I jumped at the chance to get away for the evening. I left my man with a van-full of boys at scout camp and dashed off to the theater. It was SUCH a fun night... exactly what the doctor ordered.

Before the film began, we were given special instructions: If we liked the movie, we must shout it from the rooftops. If we didn't like it, we mustn't say a word. I figured it would be a cute little tween movie (it's rated PG for goodness' sakes!) and I wouldn't be interested in promoting the film. But I was pleasantly surprised. It was funny, cute, romantic, well-written, heart-warming, scenic, and wholesome. I honestly can't wait to see it again...
I have always loved Amanda Seyfried (Mean Girls, Mamma Mia) but it was Chris Egan who stole the show. He's an Australian soap opera star who just won his way into my heart. I think he was wearing a little too much fake tanning lotion in the film, but that was his make-up artist's fault-- not his. Seriously ladies, picture these lips saying romantic-nothings in an English accent. hubba-hubba.
Watch the preview here... The movie comes out May 14th!

Oh I can't believe you put up that horrible second picture of me. I didn't realize my double chin is so bad.

I also loved this movie. I'm the same way about romantic comedies, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one. And that picture of the main guy. What a hottie!

I really shouldn't have posted the pictures at all... we are so much cuter than that (although D'Ana does look like a rock star.)

and you don't have a double chin, Em. It's just that you were stretching so far to get us all in the shot! I am proud of your work.

But seriously, if you want it down, I will take it off. let me know.

and I took them down-- just because I don't look so hot either :)

I'm feeling cheated that I didn't see the pictures of you guys.... I KNOW you're all a bunch of hotties!! Truthfully sometimes pictures just make me a bit homesick. This movie looks AMAZING! Can't wait to see it. Thanks for the honest review.

I am so glad to hear that it is good. My sisters and I are going to see it this weekend as a Mother's Day present from our hubbies! Now I am really excited!

OOooo...the movie does look good. I might actually get my husband and me into a movie theatre which hasn't happened in YEARS! Who am I kidding? I'll end up waiting for it to come out in Red Box :P
