Humbling Bow to the Chick-Flick Humor

Rating: 9/10 (3 October 2010)

This was a Saturday evening I dreaded. The previous weekend, my wife and younger daughter accompanied me to one of the few action movies that came out this year. The obvious understanding was that I would go with them to a movie of their choosing. At first, this did not seem so bad, since my daughter is not drawn to chick flickstoo often. Well as the reimbursement weekend rolled around, I was pretty confident my daughter would select a movie with some tasteful blood and guts. To my dismay, both my wife and daughter said the flick they had opted for was, 'Easy "A"'. I am not sure if my initial reaction was complete fear or utter disgustwhatever it wasit was visible. I kicked, screamed and cried all the way to our seat. To break the pre-movie monotony, my daughter and I counted men entering the theater6 to 10 with about 500 womena little voice echoed in my mind, 'this is the mother of all chick flicks.' This is too long of an introbut I truly enjoyed the movie. It was funny and the acting was excellent. Of course this does not mean I will jump at the next opportunity to see a chick flickbut I may not go with as much kicking and screaming.
