Liked It But Not My Favorite Chick Flick

Rating: 7/10 (23 June 2008)

Now, I love chick flicks! My DVD stand holds more of them than any other kind of movie. My friend and I rented this today and we both agreed that it was pretty good. She liked it so much that she "has to buy it." Me, on the other hand, am okay if I don't see it again. It was a great story, good writing, but it was terribly sad. I think I was crying every ten minutes (that's pretty much not a joke, either). I usually like Harry Connick Jr. (who can forget him in Hope Floats?!) but I was really disappointed with him in this movie. He was just plain weird. Hilary Swank was great, Gerard Butler was ruggedly handsome and charming, but I was hoping for girlfriends that were a little more realistic.
All-in-all it was a good movie. I have given it a seven out of ten because it wasn't spectacular but it was better than mediocre. If you're a girl, and you are in love, I'll just tell you now: be prepared to cry a lot and appreciate your man more!
