Worth watching just to see Naveen (Sayid from Lost) Andrews in clothes. Still sexy! Silly story with wonderful musical numbers. Imagine the happy couple on the Santa Monica beach singing when a Black gospel choir appear to sing the 2nd verse & then surfers appear waving boards to sing the 3rd verse. Corny,but fun.

Calamity, I love you! I go to Cedar Lee all the time and when I checked their "coming soon" page on their site, it never showed Bride & Prejudice. I haven't checked since this movie first came out though. Their site showed coming soon up to April so I thought I was SOL. I am SO there this friday! I am in Chicago for a few days and saw commercials for it but I doubt I can sneak away to see it when I am here for my Grandmas funeral. Whatdya think? Yeah, me neither...lol

Fabnsab: I'm so sorry about your Grandma. Both of mine are gone too. I barely knew my dad's mom but was really close to my other Grandma and still miss her lots. Hope you'll enjoy the movie tonight. I haven't been to Cedar Lee in a long time. It's sorta far from me. But I am going to watch a musical tonight - The Umbrellas of Cherbourg on DVD. Got it from the library and it's due back tomorrow. I've never seen it the whole way through before.

Thanks for the kind words Calamity. I saw the movie yesterday and loved it. I thought they did justice to the Pride & Prejudice aspects without making it a complete remake of something. My girlfriend and I actually cheered after because our streak of choosing bad movies is finally over. We always go see something we think will be good and it always disappoints. Naveen is gorgeous as always. I thought Darcy looked like a younger, more handsome Bill Pullman. We saw a trailer for Dear Frankie. That looked supercute. Can't wait to see that one.

Fabnsab: I saw Dear Frankie at the Film Festival at Tower City yesterday - took the afternoon off, lol! Since I wasn't really looking forward to this particular movie, it was a happy surprise to find that I ended up liking it quite a lot. I gave it a "4" for Very Good on the ballots they handed out (everyone else seemed to be giving it a "5" for Excellent but I thought that was getting a bit carried away ).

Oh, I should add that my reluctance was due to a truly dire review for DF in the latest EW. I knew I was going to be seeing the movie and so just skimmed the review but it was hard to overlook that "D-" at the end! Now that I've seen it, I think that was a beyond harsh and undeserved grade. Okay, heading home now!

Calamity, I was almost at that showing of DF!!! I went to a job interview and it took too long- damn them. I didn't get out till 3 so I missed it. Wouldn't that have been funny to be in the same theatre and not even know eachother? BTW, didn't get the job. I should have gone to the movie. I have a subscription to EW and I never listen to their movie reviews. I always go to form my own opinion. They just don't have the same taste as me. Well, seeing as my name is Frankie and I love Frankie's pizza in North Olmsted, I am bound to love this film too...lol

Aww, sorry about your interview. Best of luck next time! Yeah, that would have been funny about the movie showing! Not that it would have made enough difference for you but the film actually started at least 15 minutes. Everyone had to go through a Miramax-mandated security line. They were checking everyone's bags & cell phones for cameras. The woman seated next to us said they tried to confiscate her PalmPilot but she managed to talk them out of it. The delay did screw up our movie plans though. I wanted to see Immediate Boarding which started at 4:45PM but we couldn't make it due to the ticket lines and getting out late from Dear Frankie. And my friend refused to see Peaceable Kingdom which was showing in the same theater as DF so we left just ahead of rush hour traffic. It was especially disappointing because the PalmPilot lady raved about how wonderful IB was after I mentioned it. She said her friend selects all the films for the festival and tells her which ones to see because her friend knows she doesn't like the depressing ones, lol. Wish I could go back Friday - I'd like to catch Genesis and Millions which are both screening that day. But I can't. Oh well. Oh and I goofed describing the ballots. I had an extra one in my purse and noticed it was "2" for Very Good and "1" for excellent. I may have written it out wrong here but at least I voted correctly, lol. Hope you enjoy DF when you get to see it. It's thoroughly charming and has some wonderful performances. Liked the music too. And while it is sweet and rather predictable, there's enough gritty realism and tart dialogue to keep things in check. Btw, I have to agree that sometimes EW's movie reviews are mystifying. I remember when they gave O Brother, Where Art Thou an "F"!
Happy St. Patrick's Day

Wow, I am glad I didn't see that review. O Brother is one of my faves! "Is you is or is you ain't my constituants?!"

I know, that movie just cracks me up! Oh and I meant to say the movie started "at least 15 minutes late". I really shouldn't try to post and work at the same time, lol.
