On the plane to NY, we each had our own tv's at our seat. I watched Going The Distance with Justin Long(Gerritt) & Drew Barrymore(Erin). I really like Drew Barrymore. I know she annoys a lot of people, probably like how Nicole Kidman bugs me. In this movie, Erin is in NYC for the summer & meets Gerritt. They fall for each other but then she has to go back to CA to finish grad school. The movie is about their long distance relationship and how they deal with being 3,000 miles apart.I loved Gerritt's friends in this movie. Charlie Day who is in 'Always Sunny in Philadelphia' and Jason Sudeikis from SNL were hilarious in this movie. Also, Christina Applegate played Erin's sister and was also good in this.
This is a cute, romantic comedy where you want these two to work things out and figure out a way to be together. Recommend!
While lounging in the family room yesterday, we watched 17 Again. I have never seen anything with Zac Efron in it but I thought he was great in this. Also, Matthew Perry is in this and we haven't seen him in anything in a loooong time.
This is the story of a Mike: Got his girlfriend pregnant in high school, lost his opportunity to play college baseketball, and make his life into something great. After 18 yrs of marriage, him & his wife are getting a divorced. After visiting his kids school to pick them up, he wishes he could go back to HS to relive his life and get a do-over.
He returns to his 17 year old self. He gets a second chance in HS, but he is attending HS WITH his teenage kids. He realizes that going back isn't more for him, but more to help out his kids to get thru HS.
This movie was pretty funny. When you put a 40 yr old brain in a 17 yr old, there are bound to be adult lessons that will be dispensed on the teenagers. I mean, if you knew what you know now and went back to HS, it would be a much different place!
I thought this was cute & funny so I recommend.
