I know it's been a while since out last post. I blame Liz, her movie selection has been a bit off. So, here is my attempt to make it up to you. A chick-flick triple feature of sorts. Not my genre of choice, but these movies were so good that I had to tell you about them.
What do a step-ford wife, a stripper and a nine year old orphan have in common?
Butter.
In small-town Iowa, an adopted girl discovers her talent for butter carving and finds herself pitted against an ambitious local woman in their town's annual contest. from imdb.com
Girl in Progress is a movie that I would totally watch with my mom.
As single mom Grace juggles work, bills, and her affair with a married doctor, her daughter, Ansiedad, plots a shortcut to adulthood after finding inspiration in the coming-of-age stories she's reading for school. from imdb.com
It's kind of like Juno without the pregnant teen. It drags a bit in the beginning but Eva Mendes will make you thank the lord that she isn't your mom. This is the best role I've ever seen her in. And I have definitely saved the best for last. For all of you that loved The Hangover, Bridesmaids and Horrible bosses this movie is for you.
BACHELORETTE
Three friends are asked to be bridesmaids at a wedding of a woman they used to ridicule back in high school. From imdb.com
This is not the Disney Princess version of a bachelorette party. These girls are insanely damaged/flawed/messed up in the head and it's impossible to take your eyes off them.
They're more like people you know than characters in a wedding movie. So get some girlfriends together and watch this. ASAP!
