I realize this post begs the question – why are you watching movies you think are going to suck?
To quote Lorelai Gilmore, I like movies “good, bad, and indifferent.” As long as it’s not too serious, long, scary, or bloody I am up for watching it.
And I had two pleasant surprises lately, which just goes to show…something. That low standards can sometimes pay off, perhaps.
First was My Life in Ruins.
This has the woman from My Big Fat Greek Wedding as an American working as a tour guide in Greece. She’s unhappy, she doesn’t like her job, etc. We watch one tour and she finds the meaning of life…falls in love…etc.
I think I remember reading that this was cheesy, which it totally is, but it has some funny parts and nice scenery.
Last night I watched I Love You, Beth Cooper which I think was supposed to be horrible.
I actually thought it was pretty funny and entertaining.
Typical coming of age movie with craziness and teenage hormones, which I always enjoy.
So…don’t judge a book by it’s cover or a movie by its reviews. That’s today’s moral.
