Chick Flicks

So I saw two really funny chick flicks this week. The first was "My Life in Ruins" Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) goes to Greece as a college professor but ends up a tour guide with a second rate tour company. It definitely was not as good as My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but it was cute distraction. Richard Dreyfus was engaging as always. And the guy who played "Poopy Kakas" (yes, I'm serious that was his character's name) was hunky in that Greek kind of way.

The other was "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds and Betty White. It's so nice to see Sandra back in her stride. She created a character that was so obnoxious yet so funny and then so vulnerable that you fell in love with her, just like Ryan Reynolds does in the film. There are so many funny, funny scenes and Reynolds is sarcastic in the right places and sweet in others. Now, everyone should know that there is a scene where you see a lot more of Sandy than anyone other than her husband should see, but it's done for the sake of comedy and you don't actually see anything. Betty White is hilarious as Reynold's grandmother. She's fiesty and sweet and just completely the perfect grandmother. This is laugh out loud funny and will give Sandra the boost back to the top of her game again. And Reynolds is quite the hottie. I have to say that I was disappointed to find out that Scarlett Johansen snatched himup. ;-)
