I get it alot with chick flicks...

Romances and romantic comedies are not my first choice in films. I expect them to be dumb, sappy and manipulative. And they are for the most part but some turn out to be pretty darn good.


Who's Eating Glbert Grape? - Great quirky film

Shakespeare in Love - witty script and superb acting by everyone except Mr. Afleck

The Bumblebee Flies Anyway - Uplifting story and the beginning of my ongoing vicarious romance with Rachael Leigh Cook

Fried Green Tomatoes- Wonderful story told in flashback

Kate and Leopold- Cute and well written. The lead actor (the Aussie who played Wolverine in X-Men) is impossibly handsome but I think Meg is looking the worse for wear nowadays. My wife has her own vicarious screen romance now.

Wedding Planner - I liked it, what can I say. I think JLo has alot of potential as an actress and it shows here with her energetic and fun performance, especially when contrasted with Mat MaCuany's (sic) flat and wooden one.

Legally Blonde- A real surprise. Very funny with a very satisfying ending. A blonde who is bred for, trained for and fully expected to fulfil her role as superfluous eye candy shows everyone up. Reese Witherspoon is great (and fills the eye candy portion of the role well too). Made me check out her other films....Election was particularly good.


Thanks,
Rob
