“Bride Wars” is a good date movie or for a group of girlfriends, but its a must for brides and grooms-to-be !!

If you thought your wedding planning was overhwelming or hectic or frustrating or anxious or drove you a little batty… you probably never went through what friends Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) go through on the way to the biggest day of their lives.

This movie has all the elements of a box office hit, “Bride Wars” should knock “Marley & Me” out of its two-week run at #1 at the box office.

In what is the best wedding comedy since “Father of the Bride” (1991), (more…)

I know what you’re thinking… “chick flick”… yes, but not so fast…

In the first of a day-night movie doubleheader, my wife and I saw “The Women”… the theater was almost full… all women, and I think 2 other guys.

But here’s the twist for all you guys… this is a good “date movie” to take the wife, girlfriend, or girl that’s “just a friend” … she’ll be glad you did !!

“The Women”

(2008) (rated: PG-13 for sex-related material, language, some drug use and brief smoking) (1 hr, 54 min)

The Plot: A wealthy New Yorker leaves her cheating husband and bonds with other society women at a resort. A remake of George Cukor’s 1939 film “The Women.”

MY TAKE (spoiler free):

Well, let me start by saying my wife loved it… about as much as “Sex and the City”… she connected to it because, she says, the movie is exactly the way women act around each other.

I like it because of the good character development and *believe me* when I tell you there’s *a lot* of characters to develop… (more…)
