the reviews

So far during this vaca I have seen two movies in theator, exciting no?
The movies have not been action or drama filled but are the romantic/heartwarming comedy type. The kind I usually wait to see until dvd because who really needs to see these types of movies with surround sound and a big screen? But anyway, I'm on vacation so my sensible rules have been pushed aside and here are the reviews...

The Holiday
Predictable but a lovely chick flick.
Man interests, Jack Black and Jude Law, get an A+. Both are just so cute, the former is so unexpected and the later that a British accent, which helps.
Always love Kate Winslet and liked Cameron Diaz, who sometimes I can't stand.
Saw it with my sister, as all movies of this type should be seen with, and we drove home discussing how pathetic and unlike the nice boys of a romantic comedy the men (exuse me boys) in our lives are. A few tears may have been shed. A 2am bagel run was made. We consoled ourselves with food, eachother and the fact that boys are just stupid anyway.

The Pursuit of Happyness
Let me just say I hate misspellings, however cute they are supposed to be.
But anyway, saw this movie in a crowded theator in the arms of a wonderful friend.
It was, again, predictable but heartwarming and lovely.
You'll laugh, you'll cry.
Will Smith, good. His son,even better.
I found the touching father/son relationship more important/powerful then his eventual monetary gains. But maybe that's just me.

So, the final review? Cute, but keep your 9.75 and wait until video, the surround sound for both wasn't that great.
