Simply Irresistible (1999)
Simply irresistible! (mind the pun)
i adore this movie. it's got everything that makes me feel like it was a good choice.
sure it's cheesy and silly, but that's the reason you watch. it's a cute little movie that's great to rent for the weekend (like i did) the cooking even inspired me to do some of my own. i might have nearly burnt the house down and reminded myself of why i never cook but i was in such a happy mood that it didn't matter.
if you love sweet little romantic comedies then Simply Irresistible is definitely a movie you need to see. it might not be in the same class as some others but it's so lovely you can't help but like it.
see it, if you don't like it then no big deal but if you do like it...you'll love it.
Just My Luck (2006)
Good for a movie night
OK i saw this at the cinema and was a bit disappointed but recently saw it again on DVD and found it to be much better than i remembered. I admit on first viewing it's a little cheesy and annoying but on second viewing, it's actually quite good. I think it has to do with the fact of seeing it in the comfort of my own lounge room. I also found that i wasn't as judgmental or analytic. If you just sit back and watch the movie for what it is, you'll enjoy it more. Otherwise you're just going to give yourself an aneurysm over plot holes in the script and whether some scenes had any point. I reckon it should have been released straight to DVD but whatever.
Basically it's a fun, silly chick flick that relies a lot on physical comedy rather than wit. I'm more into witty comedy so it wasn't that funny for me but it was still amusing. I actually laughed quite a bit in one part that involves mud.
Chris Pine is really good as Jake, if it wasn't for him then the whole movie would have fallen apart in my opinion. Plus i'm a huge fan of McFly so i had something extra to enjoy ;)
In a nutshell...Just My Luck is really good for when you're having a movie night at someone's house and you want something cheery and simple to keep the mood light.
