the exception.

there are only two movies that i have seen more than once in the theater.

well, kind of four.

i saw each of the lord of the rings more than once, because i just couldn't get enough. good overcoming evil. hobbits. legolas. i've discussed this before.

the other movie i saw more than once was "ever after." i don't remember why i liked it so much. i guess that was the first "creative" movie i ever really saw. it took an old story and made it new. it was funny. cinderella was intelligent. one of the evil stepsisters was nice. anyway...

today i saw a movie that i really, really, really want to see again. i have been waiting my entire adult life for someone to make this movie. seriously. i was hoping "27 dresses" would go there, but it didn't.

this movie...

ahhh. it's so good. the problems are real. the conversations are real. the stories are real. i'm not giving anything away...some people fall in love. so don't be afraid to see it if that's what you're wanting to see. there are several stories going on at once, and i am seriously impressed with it. cynicism mixed with hope. simply brilliant.

and it's funny too.

i've said before that pride and prejudice is a story i relate to more than any other story "except for the mr. darcy part." i always have to say that. but not with this movie. from beginning to end, it is real.

so if anyone wants to see it...take me with you.

coincidence:

drew barrymore is also in ever after.
