I have to say that I had NO desire to go see this movie from the commercials.. Who am I kidding.. I had no desire to what until it came on video on demand becaue I NEVER get to the movies anymore. But my girlfriend spoke so highly of this movie and reading your review makes me want to go run out and see it today.. But I am kidding myself.. I will wait until it is on demand.. :)

@Tasina: I should clarify something, I think. Honestly, she wasn’t all that great in the role. At the very beginning, as a matter of fact, she uses this terrible squeaky girlie voice that made me quite nauseous… But did I mention that Gerard used his real accent and that they gave the ultimately lovable Jeffrey Dean Morgan an Irish accent?? Nauseating squeaky voices can be ignored.

Ok. At the risk of being a QUASI tasteless freak, let me say that I like Hilary Swank. I don’t LOVE her, but I like her. I can think of at least five actresses I like better. I haven’t seen the movie, but I was kind of disappointed to see her in a romantic comedy/drama. I just don’t see her that way. For me it’s like watching Helena Bonham-Carter in anything set after 1925. I’m glad to hear that my fears are unfounded. And really….I would watch 2 hours of Gerard Butler eating soup – even if he slurped.

I never read the book…I am more of a sci-fi/fantasy girl myself and I am one of few women that see chick flicks. I have to say though I know all about the book in the bathroom thing. Made me think of a book I bought recently that I was excited to get only to be let down before I can get through the first 1/4 of it. I told DH about this disappointment and he said to me, “OOOh…that is why it is in the bathroom….”.

I LOVE Hilary Swank–enough to merit the all caps that I just used to type her name. I want to see this movie, and I’ll definitely be waiting until the daters are through with it. haha.

Now I know hell hath froze over!

You posted a recipe, and would choose a movie over a book – and it all happened in less than a week?
Are you sure we’re not about to face the end of the world as we know it?

Note to self – see movie as soon as the hordes of date-type people have stopped going (I can handle stale popcorn and rude cell phone users – what I can’t handle are the swarms of women wearing too much perfume, attended by men who want to impress them – ie: get in their pants – and who would much rather be watching the latest slasher flick, or having their chests waxed than be seen at a “chick flick.”) But I’m not cynical.

hated the book, too.
Oh my gawd! Those are her co-stars. Sheesh. I’m on it! I have to go see them.
YUMMY! Thanks for the hysterical review!!!
