Last Tuesday just after noon we lost power at school. At first I didn't care, the lab has big windows, so we were OK for light, and I was working on my computer with full batteries and didn't need the internet. But then it got very warm very quickly to the point that it was hard to breath. So I headed out to come to my parents for a little while when I run into my friendliest first year classmate and now good friend.
She said she was heading to the mall to do some shopping and grab something to eat. She was positive that the power would return within half an hour. So I decided to tagalong with her, killing some time and hoped that by the time we return there would be power.
At the mall, I decided not to buy any more clothing stuff, for one I am hoping that in couple of weeks all the summer pieces shall be ridiculously cheap and so I could indulge, and for another I am hopeful that by then I have lost all the weight that I am going to lose and thus I shall be buying cloths that would fit me for a long time. All the cloths that I got in May are all too baggy now.
So after my friend did her shopping, we got lunch to go, and were about to head back to school when my friend's housemate called to ask if she could get a ride home since the power had not returned yet at school! I asked my friend if she would just drop me off at a bus stop, but she suggested that we catch a movie; the movie theater was only two blocks away from the mall. I thought why not, I had already started being in the mode of holiday and celebration!
We drove to the theater and I saw this movie was still showing, so I thought it must be doing well that it is still on, and concluded that it must be funny and good! The showtime was about 40 minutes away, so we decided to wait while we eat our lunch.
From the get go I didn't like the movie, and probably would have left after about 20 minutes, if I thought my friend too wasn't enjoying the movie! But she was. She was laughing and absorbed into the movie. So I kept quiet, and decided not to ruin it for her.
The movie was long. Afterward I checked and it is a bit more than 2 hours long!
I felt the scenes were dragging and instead of being funny, they were annoying.
The story is about two best friends Lillian and Annie. Lillian is getting married and Annie is the maid of honor. They were such a close good friends that Lillian just assumed Annie is her maid of honor.
At the party to introduce close family and friends to each other, Annie is introduced to other bridesmaids. That is the part that my problem with the movie started! I thought if Annie and Lillian were such a close friends shouldn't Annie know Lillian's future sister-in-law already, since Lillian had been dating her fiancé for a while by then!
The other bridesmaid, Helen, was the new wife of the groom's boss, and she wanted to be Lillian's new best friend.
Anyhow, during the party the father of the bride toasted the bride and the groom and then asked the maid of honor to say a few words. I guess Annie was nervous and decided to make the toast short and sweet. Then Helen decided to make a toast. And the childish behavior that got me annoyed started here! After Helen, Annie took the stage and decided to outdo Helen. Then Helen went on to make herself look good in Lillian's eyes. These two took turns making one toast after another, for few more times, each one hoping to have the last word! It was suppose to be a funny scene but to me it actually wasn't funny at all.
So anyhow, would I recommend this movie to my friends, yes, but only when it is on DVD or on Demand, thus one would have a control of the remote and is able to fast forward if it got annoying!
Next movie review shall be Larry Crowne. I have already seen it and thought it was OK.
