We ended up watching Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.
Golly, what to say. It was ridiculous and cheezy and without many redeeming qualities but I did get a little teary in one section. Hey, I have emotional episodes from time to time...But that aside, I recommend that you DO NOT SEE IT. A quote from a New York Times review is all I'll offer, it's "a junky-looking romantic comedy that’s neither remotely romantic nor passably comic."
Moving on, my man was out of town for a night last week and I took the opportunity to waste time watching another pretty bad movie: The Proposal. I don't know why I selected this movie, except that it looked like junk food for the brain and I craved some junk food.
The movie is about "A pushy boss [Sandra Bullock] forces her young assistant to marry her in order to keep her Visa status in the U.S. and avoid deportation to Canada." Although I generally disliked the film, the one part that I did enjoy was where Sandra B's character said that her first concert was Rob Base and DJ Ez Rock and went on to sing a bit of "It takes two."
I think I liked that part because it was so out of character. But I guess, truth be told, I do like watching movies where women, for better or worse, kick ass and take names. I think in "real life" it doesn't happen that often. Sandra Bullock's character wasn't a far cry from the Oscar-winning character she played in The Blind Side. I liked that character even more. All that said, I do not recommend watching this movie either.
