My wife and I enjoy to watch movies together. This being the case, I decided to start my own movie review blog. As a note, we almost never go to the theater to see movies, so most of the movies will be at least 3 months old.
Release Date: 13 February 2009 Time: 1 hr 44 min Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures Rating: PG My Rating: PG Starring: Isla Fisher, Hugh Dancy Grade: B
Synopsis: In the glamorous world of New York City, Rebecca Bloomwood (ISLA FISHER) is a fun-loving girl who is really good at shopping-a little too good, perhaps. She dreams of working for her favorite fashion magazine. but can't quite get her foot in the door-until ironically, she snags a job as an advice columnist for a financial magazine published by the same company. As her dreams are finally coming true, she goes to ever more hilarious and extreme efforts to keep her past from ruining her future.
My Review: This film is a typical chick flick. I enjoyed the film for what it was worth and I thought Isla did a good job as the primary role (I confused her with Amy Adams). There wasn't anything that put this film in great company but it was another fun chic flick.
Recommend: Good date night movie. The kids won't last long in it.

Synopsis: A clerical error tests the lifelong friendship of two brides-to-be by scheduling their respective weddings at the famed Plaza Hotel on the exact same date in this romantic comedy starring Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. Ever since they were little girls, Liv (Hudson) and Emma (Hathaway) have bonded over planning their weddings down to the very last detail. Now, both in their mid-twenties, Liv and Emma have each found the men they want to spend the rest of their lives with. But while most of the details regarding their respective weddings don't overlap, the one thing that both Liv and Emma have always dreamt of is holding their ceremony at the legendary Plaza Hotel -- New Your City's ultimate bridal destination. Unfortunately, a simple clerical error has scheduled both of their weddings on the exact same date, at the exact same place. As a high-powered lawyer who's used to getting her way, Liv simply isn't willing to settle for anything less than perfection. And though simple schoolteacher Emma has always placed the needs of others above her own, the prospect of making any sacrifices on her big day brings out her inner bridezilla in ways that shock her unsuspecting friends and family. There was a time when Liv and Emma would have done anything for each other, but now that the two best friends are at odds over who will get their dream wedding and who will have to settle for second best, the lacy gloves are off and it's all-out war. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
My Review: This movie was just what I was expecting. It was a cute chic-flick and it had it's moments. I have always enjoyed Anne Hathaway in films and she does a great job here again. This film had its moments and I laughed a few times. Nothing great but it was fun.
Recommend: This is great for a date night or girls night. Guys will enjoy it as well.
