I went to the midnight showing of this movie, and I was actually able to stay awake through it! The audience was very into it, laughing at the genuinely funny comedy and "awe"ing at all the correct times.
That said, I rather enjoyed this movie. Was it perfect? Of course not... for all the talk that this wasn't a typical chick flick, it's still a chick flick. It's not gonna be a life-changing experience.
The actors did quite well with their characters. If anything, whenever the character Gigi came on the screen, I just cringed. She was so pitiful, and downright scary at times, but I still felt for her, and that's a hard thing to pull off.
What I didn't like? Well, like any movie now-a-days, it almost completely revolves around sex. Now, I know that not everyone is like me, who believes in not having sex till marriage, but I can usually overlook that in movies and still enjoy them. This one pretty much blatantly pushes it that if you're not having sex, at least by month 2 of your relationship, then the girl just isn't into you. This kinda offended a little, but whatever, not everyone's gonna care.
I like that I have seen the girls in these movies all my life, and (only a few times, thank God!) I saw myself. The two guys I went with (both straight) enjoyed it very much.
All in all, it might not be exactly a typical chick flick, but in the end, it's still a chick flick. Enjoy it for what it is, or just don't go see it. That simple.
But I'd go see it. It's cute, funny and quirky. Definitely recommended. :) |
