The movie is a classic "teenager turned adult" plot. Nothing too crazy about it, but it's a nice movie and actors play well.

Funny to see Andy Serkis in the fashion editor role.

Also, funny to see Brie Larson and Ashley Benson

It's not exactly a great movie, but I rather enjoy Kate and Leopold.

It's basically Hugh Jackman is a Duke who winds up getting pulled through time to the present, and falling in love with Meg Ryan. It's campy and kinda formulaic, but I think it's cute and the actors play well off each other.

This is my favorite romcom.

I'm not at all a fan of romcoms. I didn't watch a lot. However, I once watched Midnight in Paris and I really really loved it. For many reasons.

  • Owen Wilson can actually act in this movie and is not just doing another version of himself.

  • The plot is actually quite original.

  • I'm a strong dreamer and the story of this movie greatly appealed to that part of myself. All those artists and historical figures represented in the movie were awesome.

I typically really dislike romcoms but first time I saw Bridget Jones’s Diary I laughed my ass off the entire movie.

17 Again is a fun one.

Notting Hill. It's a mildly interesting love story with two highlights: That dysfunctional flat mate and the season change scene on the market with Bill Withers' "Ain't no sunshine" as the soundtrack.

That scene alone is worth the movie. Have an eye on the people in the background.

"It's a boy girl thing" is pretty entertaining. It's a typical body swap movie. I enjoyed the leads performance.
