| | Posted: | | | |  How to Lose a Guy in 10 DaysStars:Kate Hudson as Andie Matthew McConaughey as Ben Kathryn Hahn as Michelle Annie Parisse as Jeannie Adam Goldberg as Tony Plot:Oscar® nominee Kate Hudson (Almost Famous) and Matthew McConaughey (A Time to Kill) give the battle of the sexes an outrageously unexpected twist in the runaway comedy hit the Daily News applauds as "Hilarious!" As the "How to..." columnist for trendy Composure Magazine, Andie Anderson (Hudson) agrees to write a first-hand account about what it takes to drive a man out of your life...in exactly 10 days. At the same time, eligible ad agency bachelor Benjamin Barry (McConaughey) accepts a high-stakes bet that he can lure any woman into falling head-over-heels in love with him...also in 10 days. The resulting romantic head-on collision ignites a series of deliriously comic deceptions that prove when it comes to true love...your heart cannot tell a lie. From the director of Miss Congeniality, it's the year's most wildly entertaining romantic romp, in the comedy smash David Sheehan of CBS-TV hails as "The ultimate chick-flick for guys!" My Thoughts:This is my second time watching this movie since a good friend gave it to me a couple years ago. This is a really fun movie with lots of laughs. I enjoyed the whole storyline. Except maybe for the terrible singing towards the end of the movie. Anyone that enjoys a good Romantic Comedy should be sure to check this one out! My Rating: 4/5 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Another suggestion that I have for you to check out is a movie called Priceless. The humor in it is very well writen, and the story is somewhat original. | | | | Last edited: by dohdohdoh |

| | Posted: | | | |  While You Were SleepingStars:Sandra Bullock as Lucy Bill Pullman as Jack Peter Gallagher as Peter Peter Boyle as Ox Jack Warden as Saul Plot:You'll fall in love with While You Were Sleeping, the hit romantic comedy that woke everyone up to adorable Sandra Bullock (Speed, A Time To Kill). As Lucy, a lonely subway worker, she becomes smitten with a handsome stranger (Peter Gallagher – Malice). But when she saves his life after he's been mugged and fallen into a coma, his hilariously offbeat family mistakes her for his fiancée! Soon the mix-ups escalate as Lucy fabricates a life between herself and a man she's never met! And when Lucy falls for his charming brother (Bill Pullman – Independence Day), the situation really gets uproarious – as she's forced to make a choice between the two! My Thoughts:I bought this one a whole back ago solely to add to my Sandra Bullock collection. I must say it is one of my favorites... One of the best romantic comedy roles I have seen her in. I enjoyed every minute of it. Bill Pullman was good in this movie as well. Not to mention it was a lot of fun watching Peter Boyle also. I definitely recommend this movie. Unfortunately the only extra on this release is some trailers. But at least it does have the Theatrical trailer (a pet peeve of mine). My Rating: 4/5 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Imagine Me & YouStars:Piper Perabo as Rachel Lena Headey as Luce Matthew Goode as Heck Celia Imrie as Tessa Anthony Head as Ned Plot:Piper Perabo lights up the screen as Rachel, a blushing bride whose perfect nuptials take a surprising turn at the altar: An innocent glance between Rachel and an unexpected wedding guest is all it takes to spark a love-at-first-sight romance with a surprising twist - the object of Rachel's affection is a smart and sensuous...woman! Their shocking romance causes quite a stir amongst her family and friends as Rachel is forced to choose between her husband and the girl of her dreams. Say "I do" to the wonderfully witty film that Cosmopolitan calls " a refreshing romantic comedy!" My Thoughts:This is one I just recently bought off the recommendation of our good friend Tom. And I must thank him for this recommendation. I really enjoyed this movie. It didn't really have any laugh out loud moments. But it did have a great story. To me... this was a different kind of romantic comedy... as I haven't seen many at all about lesbian relationships. I thought the whole cast did a fine job... though it was a little weird to see Anthony Head as someone other then Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Anyway... I definitely recommend this movie.

| | Posted: | | | |  You've Got MailStars:Tom Hanks as Joe Fox Meg Ryan as Kathleen Kelly Greg Kinnear as Frank Navasky Parker Posey as Patricia Eden Heather Burns as Christina Plot:You've Got Mail delivers all the wit, charm and warmth you'd expect from a reunion of the stars (Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan) and director (Nora Ephron) of Sleepless In Seattle. Greg Kinnear, Parker Posey, Jean Stapleton and more talented co-stars add perfect support to this valentine to modern – to modem – romance in which superstore book chain magnate Hanks and cozy children's bookshop owner Ryan are anonymous email cyberpals who fall head-over-laptops in love, unaware they are combative business rivals. You've got rare Hollywood magic when You've Got Mail. My Thoughts:This is one I haven't watched in quite some time. According to DVD Profiler I haven't watched it in 7 years. This is one that I enjoyed quite a bit. I think both Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan did a great job in this movie. I also got a kick out of seeing Jean Stapleton in something other then All in the Family. The story, while enjoyable, isn't a "ha-ha" type funny. More of a lighthearted look at a budding romance coming from the last place you would expect (for the character that is). My Rating: 4/5 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  BewitchedStars:Nicole Kidman as Isabel Bigelow/Samantha Will Ferrell as Jack Wyatt/Darrin Shirley MacLaine as Iris Smythson/Endora Michael Caine as Nigel Bigelow Jason Schwartzman as Ritchie Plot:Oscar®-winner Nicole Kidman (Best Actress in a leading role, The Hours, 2002) and wickedly funny Will Ferrell star as actors playing Darrin and Samantha on a remake of the television show "Bewitched" in this cleverly crafty comedy from director Nora Ephron (Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail). Egomaniacal star Jack Wyatt (Ferrell) casts unknown Isabel (Kidman) as his co-star in order to monopolize the limelight and regain his top spot on Hollywood's A-list. When Isabel, a real witch, discovers Jack's self-centered scheme, she conjures a sidesplitting spell the mere mortal will never forget! [b] My Thoughts:[/b] This is like the 4th time I watched this movie since I bought it. I don't know why I enjoy this one so much... but I do think Nicole Kidman did a really good job in it. Then again at the same time... even though I usually enjoy his work... I wasn't too impressed with Will Ferrell. I think part of my had a problem with the fact that it wasn't really a movie made from the series as most of these movies are. But a movie about remaking the series. I think I would have personally preferred a straight movie version of the series. Even with that said... I obviously still enjoyed this movie quite a bit... even if I am not 100% sure why. I guess it is just fun to watch... no more and no less. My Rating: 4/5 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Warning on 27 Dresses...definitely a chick flick! I enjoyed a lot, but a lot of it was me going, "I had to wear that too!" and "That's still in my closet!" Very cute, though. | | | | Lori |

| | Posted: | | | | A couple of recommendations    The story's in these films are slightly different to your run of the mill rom com which makes them slightly more compelling and less stale than the majority of them. Although the out come is pretty much the same as expected. I think Defending Your Life is out of print but it's one of the best i have seen. Has a decent message about not letting your fears hold you back and making a better person of yourself. | | | | Last edited: by ShinyDiscGuy |
