A "Chick Flick" for Couples...

Tonight Ben and I had the opportunity to catch a sneak preview of P.S. I Love You. What a great movie. It was funny and beautiful and moving...and it made me cry, which for most girls doesn't mean much but since I am often emotionally constipated and can't get tears out even when I feel like I want to, this was a big deal. To anyone who is unattached, by all means see the movie w/ your girlfriends, or guy friends, whatever. But, if you're fortunate enough to be in a relationship w/ someone who you're crazy about and who thinks the world of you too, then you should see it with him or her.

Had Ben been unavailable, I probably would have seen it w/ one of my girlfriends. I'm sure I would have still enjoyed it, but I have to say there is something so incredible about watching a movie about true love and having yours beside you, holding your hand. I never really understood that before I was in love. I couldn't get why one of my girlfriends would want to see a girly love story w/ her boyfriend/husband rather than w/ me, her eager chick-flick comrade....but now I do. When it comes to girly movies like Bring-it-On, I say go full-on estrogen style....but this movie was--for me anyway--on par w/ The Notebook and I'm so glad I got to see it with Ben.

I highly recommend the film though...to hooked up and unattached alike.
