I was able to watch FOUR chick flicks in one weekend a few weeks back. And like many other chick flicks I’ve watched – I loved the brainless entertainment which made me laugh and just feel good inside.

Disclaimer: I won’t be reviewing them – I just wanted to point out the things I loved most about each of them. I am bad with chick flicks, I love them all. Suffice to say, when I say it’s bad, it is worse than it is.

The Ugly Truth – I’ve been a fan of Gerard Butler since I saw him at PS I Love You – but I wasn’t as excited about him in this movie. He was just not so hot for me. Katherine Heigl was awesome though, and I love how her OC traits in character just made her more adorable. I didn’t like how the ending was “just that” but over-all, this is one chick flick that girls wouldn’t want to miss. It makes girls dream there is somebody out there who will love them – as cliche as it may seem – “for them”.

Four Christmases – This movie was HILARIOUS!! Vince Vaughn totally owned this movie with all his comedic poker faced punches and how he gets to be toilet papered with embarrassment each time. This movie will elicit laughs but I love how the story has some serious undertones about family and true love. And just to add a bit of a spoiler here: How crazy would it be if one of YOUR parents hooked up and married your CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND!?

When In Rome – This was a totally forgetful movie, but Kristen Bell’s outfits more than made up for it – and Josh Duhamel’s physique. Hmm….I think I just breezed through this movie!

The Back Up Plan – This will bring tears to your eyes!! Seriously I loved this movie!!It made me yearn for a man (well, not as if I am unsatisfied with mine, FYI) who will love me all the way – I haven’t seen this actor from all the movies I saw because I would have notice. He was really attractive here, definitely Mr. Prince Charming material (you should quote some of his dialogue here – so very Aidan in SATC – You broke my heart!). His character was cute and cuddly and just – WOW. J.Lo looks too beautiful to be pregnant but somehow she always works it – her movies have never failed to be favorites of mine, surprisingly.

I’ve got more books and more movies this week – somehow I have managed to control not working into the early hours of the morning and just allow my brain to heal from over thinking (I am taking vitamin supplements just so you know!)– so I watch a chick flick or read a chick lit book (haha!) so that I my bran can shut down itself normally.

Have a great week!
