Couples Retreat

November 1st, 2009

Rating: ★★★★★

I don’t care what the critics say; I thought this movie was great. I mean, it’s not a deep, life-changing kind of film, but then again, it’s not supposed to be.

Love Happens

September 26th, 2009

Rating: ★★½☆☆

Love Happens is a different kind of film in that it’s not the typical chick flick you might expect… but in this case, different isn’t really a good thing. I wouldn’t go so far as to say the movie was bad, but it’s definitely not what I expected. Read more…

(500) Days of Summer

August 20th, 2009

Rating: ★★★★★

To be honest, I wasn’t too excited to see this movie at first. I thought it would be fun to watch but end up being just another meaningless romantic comedy. Boy, was I wrong. I loved (500) Days of Summer. The movie was not just another chick flick. The audience was filled with boys and girls alike. And as the narrator clearly specifies at the beginning of the movie, this is not just some love story. Read more…

The Time Traveler’s Wife

August 16th, 2009

Rating: ★★★½☆

This movie is a true chick flick. I haven’t seen a real love story like this in a while, so if you’re not into that kind of thing, this movie probably isn’t for you. Even for those who love chick flicks, I don’t know if I would really recommend this movie. Maybe it’s my fault for having such high expectations for the film, but I found The Time Traveler’s Wife to be somewhat disappointing.  Read more…

The Proposal

July 7th, 2009

Rating: ★★★★½

I was tempted to give this movie 5 stars. The Proposal is cute and funny. Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock had me falling in love with both of them. This was the kind of movie you could watch more than once and not get tired of it. It’s a great movie to watch with the girls, with the family, or even a hot date.

Only a couple negatives come to mind when it comes to The Proposal. One complaint is that this movie is too much of a chick flick. It’s not something a guy can go see with his buddies. My other complaint is that there were a few parts that left me thinking, “What the heck…?” But neither complaint really bothered me at all, personally.

Overall, I found the movie to be charming, delightful, silly, enjoyable, amusing, and all the other good adjectives you can think of.
