Movie Time

So I saw The Wedding Date tonight with my sister. First off, it was just good to see a movie and even better to see one with my sister. That aside, I must say, either Debra Messing has an oddly inexpressive forehead, or she's been dipping into the Botox. I'm just saying.

Dermot Mulroney, however, well, he looked, you know, okay. ;) And to think I once made out with his not-nearly-as-cute-as-he-is brother. (Dermot, FYI, is an NU alum. So there.) So I know in real life a guy in a black jacket and white button-down strategically unbuttoned would probably look a little on the cheesy side, but, man, did he pull it off.

Speaking of cheesy: Way too many cheesy lines in this movie for my taste. (I do know that some of you [Kubec] are saying, "The Wedding Date? What did you expect?") Here's a sample: "I'd rather fight with you than make love with anyone." Really?? That's the best they could do? V. pretty color for the bridesmaid's dresses, however.

Here's a tip: Should you find yourself in a Dr. Pepper Lipsmackerf-free zone, C.D. Bigelow's "My Favorite Lip Balm" is actually quite nice. 5% shea butter & 2% sweet almond oil. The only way you can beat that is, well, Dr. Pepper Lipsmacker.

Time for a glass of Coppola Rosso, Francis Ford's cheapest, but yummiest, red.

Wait. What's with Carson Daly putting himself behind a desk? Does he not know he's just playing at talk show host? Could there be a cheesier talk show host?

I'm with you on most of that, except I thought The Wedding Singer was pretty hilarious, and I'm a sucker for bad romantic comedy like Sweet Home Alabama. :)

the dialogue between frankie & the priest is from "million dollar baby." it was the best dialogue of the movie.
