As far as chick flicks go this one is decently average. First things first I'm glad I didn't have to listen to Gerard Butler's Irish accent for the entire movie. After watching 300 I can't help but think "dude, you cut people's legs off and throw spears at Xerxes, not flirt in Irish accents." He can never leave Sparta in my eyes. It's okay though, I was able to fight through that. He wasn't the douche. After Butler's character Jerry died, his widow Holly (played by Hilary Swank) started receiving letters that he had written to her before he died. I thought that was a pretty refreshing idea for a love story. As she was coping with his death, one of his letters told her that he had set up a trip for her and her friends to go to Ireland. She then goes to a bar and starts chattin up some musician there and push comes to shove and she pounds him. Or he pounds her. Whatever, it was weird. The whole movie she is struggling so bad with her husbands death and then one night she just decides to get down on it. I didn't like that. On top of that, the next day she went and visited her deceased husband's family. Awkward. So that guy she hooked up with was douche #1. Douche #2 came later with some nasty guy that couldn't comb his hair. He annoyed me. I was relieved when they didn't hook up at the end. Overall I would say steer clear of this thing. If you want a chick flick watch the Proposal. Again. I would give this 3 out of 5 fingers. That means, Eh.
This is my favorite movie... cried my eyes out which means it was great! haha! love this blog!
