so when i saw the previews for this movie i was only slightly interested. i think they totally messed up on the advertising with this one. so, we didnt end up seeing it until last weekend. it turned out to be one of the greatest movies ever. it was one of those movies where like halfway through i noticed my mouth was hurting because i had been smiling too much. when we walked out of the theater i thought "they dont make movies like that anymore." my brother (who has seen it twice now) and my dad say that it reminded them of princess bride. and rotten tomatoes said the same thing. i, however, didnt make that connection. i mean, sure it is a fairy tale that kinda pokes fun at itself, and it is definitely irreverent at times, but thats about it as far as comparisons go. it was just a great love story that was quirky and incredibly fun. i loved, loved, loved it. also, to help plead my case, craig loved it too. at one point he was laughing out loud! go see it.Thursday, August 30, 2007
