Just Wright




Next movie on my marathon list is "Just Wright".  Another movie where the man goes after the girl. Are you catching onto my theme?  Mr. Wonderful will find me.

Anyway not to often do you find a curvy girl at the center of a love story so I really enjoy this storyline. Not to mention that I think Common is a delicious piece of eye candy. He is a lyrical genius and I would love to have dinner with him one night but back to the movie.

True love to me means having your number 1 cheerleader in your corner cheering you on. True love means you have someone in your life that hangs in there with you through the good, the bad and the ugly. Just Wright really looks at two types of women (authentic women and fake women) that are out there who are looking for love. Rather you are fan of Morgan (Paula Paton) or Leslie (Queen Latifah) you are going to hope Scott (Common) will pick the right girl.

Just Wright is not a super deep movie but  a good romantic drama. And for the curvy girls - there are few one liners that I believe all of us curvy girls have said a time or two. You could totally watch this movie with your man, but I would suggest getting together with your girls and discussing the differences between Morgan and Leslie.  And casting your vote on which girl should win the heart of Common.  ENJOY!

Something's Gotta GIve






I LOVE THIS CHICK FLICK!

Okay so I recently had a heartbreak of my own and I decided to go on a movie marathon to remind myself what I'm hoping for - a man that really loves me for who I am. I know turning to Hollywood is probably not the best way to get over heartache but it is less calories than Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

The first movie on my list was "Something's Gotta Give". This is one of the great romantic comedies because all of the characters seem authentic. Although you should never laugh at someone crying, but when Erica (Diane Keaton) was crying over her break up with Harry (Jack Nicholson) and there is this one scene when she is sleeping and she wakes up and just starts to cry. I couldn't help myself but I started laughing out loud. At that moment I could relate to the character Erica, I had woken up this morning and five seconds later I remembered my Harry and I broke up. Similar to Erica, I too fell hard and fast for my Harry. Secretly I hope that my Harry comes looking for me but even if he doesn't I will never regret the time we spent together.

So rather you want to laugh, cry, or just want to be reminded why you love chick flicks, watch Something's Gotta Give again. IT IS WORTH THE RENTAL!
