The Wedding Date

Information © IMDb.com

Rating:  B

Premise:  NY Girl has to go to her sister’s wedding in London.  Surprise! Her ex-fiance is the best man.  She hires an “escort” to be her boyfriend for the weekend.  Of course they fall in love.  Of course.

Recommend?:  Yes.  I’m not a Debra Messing fan but I was told this was cute.  I actually bought it before watching and I think it definitely has rewatchability (mostly due to Mr. McDermott).  Definitely a chick flick/rom-com.  Cute and sweet.  Amy Adams bugs in it though – suprising.

New in Town

Grade: B

Premise: Career oriented gal from Miami gets assigned to become a plant manager for a plant in Minnesota. Hates it at first but then finds love in Harry Connick Jr.

Recommend?: Yes, definitely a chick movie. Unfortunately, after only being out two weeks, this was down to one showing in my entire area so I'm thinking it will be out of the theaters soon. I thought this was cute. Totally predictable as most rom-coms are but there are some very funny moments. Started off a little slow but the shenanigans in Minnesota were laugh out loud funny.

New in Town, Renee Zellweger, Harry Connick Jr.

Music & Lyrics

Grade: B-

Premise: Has been pop star has to write a song for a teenage pop queen and ends up having his plant lady write his lyrics. and then they fall in love.

Recommend?: Sure, if you are a girl and have a few hours to spare. It is really not a great movie - I thought it was still in the theaters and it had just come out on DVD. There are some cute moments. Hugh Grant was so-so, Drew Barrymore was cute but had some fugly hair styles.

The Holiday

Grade: A-

Premise: Two disgruntled with love women exchange homes (one in London and one in LA) for two weeks during Christmas.

Recommend?:Yes! This is actually a "must buy" for me. This movie is total fluff but it was very sweet. Total Chick Movie. I must say that I'm iffy about the main cast except for Kate Winslet, but I ended up liking them all.

Just Like Heaven

Grade:C

Premise:Ghost of Reese Witherspoon invades Mark Ruffalos life

Recommend?:I liked it fine but my husband would have thought it was wretched. Reese is cute as always and the story has a bit of a twist that is revealed nicely. Not one I have to buy - but if you are looking for a cute chick flick - this will do. Jon Heder (Napolean Dynamite) is GREAT!

Must Love Dogs

Grade: C

Premise: Shy divorcee turns to the internet to find a new man. Lucky duck meets a slightly neurotic John Cusak.

Recommend?:Only for chicks...this movie runs a bit slow and the Dianne Lane "poor me" thing got a little old...but I made it through without hating it. You've seen DL and JC in much better films. Go rent "Under a Tuscan Sun" for some better DL. Men don't stand a chance watching this one.

Alex and Emma

Grade: B
Premise: Boy writer owes mafia money. Hires girl stenographer to type his book for him...love ensues.

Thought this would suck but I ended up really enjoying it. Kate Hudson and Luke Wilson have decent chemistry and the dialogue between the two is great. Don't watch the last 10 minutes. They get together and it is stupid.
