The perfect way to end a busy day... that and some afghans cookies and a Chai tea vanilla latte and I'm all set.
The Wedding Date
Starring: Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney
Original release: 2005
Synopsis: Kate hires a male escort to pose as her boyfriend at her sister's wedding.
Okay. I'll admit it. Sometimes I find this actress just a wee bit annoying with her hyper style kind of performance that she usually does in Will and Grace but this time round it was toned down quite a bit so she came across as a sad and lonely woman who had never really gotta over being dumped by her ex.
The ex by the way was a complete doofus and totally not worth pining over. Luckily Suave and sexy Dermot Mulroney comes along...
On another note how she could forgive her sister for what she did I'll never understand. Personally I would have decked her.
But maybe that's just me.
Starring: People I've never heard of
Original release: 2015
Synopsis: When a radio host gets dumped by her boyfriend on-air she finds herself doing a joint radio show with a guy who just gets on her nerves.
This was actually really good. Helped by having two leads who had total chemistry and by leaving the sappiness that Hallmark usually have in their movies behind.
One I will be adding to my romance keep list.
Starring: People I've never heard of
Original release: 2017
Synopsis: A travel writer takes a Christmas vacation, but finds herself double-booked with a widower, his mother, and his daughter at the holiday site.
I'm a sucker for a Christmas movie so I kind of liked this one even though it was filled with sentimental sap.
Starring: Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton,Mary Steenburgen and Candice Bergen.
Original release: 2018
Synopsis: Four lifelong friends have their lives forever changed after reading 50 Shades of Grey in their monthly book club.
Meant to be funny but actually not.
The only story I kind of liked was Candice Bergen's. And now I feel the need to watch Murphy Brown.
Starring: Amy Acker
Original release: 2015
Synopsis: A best-selling romance novelist moves to Portland and unknowingly falls in love with his biggest critic.
Yeah this was totally me.
Romance, chemistry and books. Sigh. Utter heaven. And another one I will be adding to my keep list.
Starring: British people
Original release: 2013
Synopsis: A council case worker looks for the relatives of those found dead and alone.
God this was depressing. Like seriously I-want-to-put-my-head-in-the-oven depressing.
A lonely man leads a lonely life dealing with dead people who are just as alone as he is. And no it doesn't get any better. Because just when you think he might have found some future happiness they kill him off. And then yes he too is buried with no one attending his funeral.
Like what the heck?
Were they intentionally trying to make people watching this depressed/
And yeah I know - Spoiler Alert. Sorry. Not sorry.
Starring: The new Doctor Who
Original release: 2016
Synopsis: Anna is approaching 30 and living in a garden shed in her Mother's backyard.
Not quite a depressing as the previous movie but still close. Or maybe I had just had my quota from the above movie.
Starring: The guy from Haven
Original release: 2016
Synopsis: A widow mom gets an internship at a tech company and draws the attention of two very different men.
Not the best movie but I needed this after watching the previous two movies. Silly but watchable... just.
Starring: Some Americans
Original release: 2018
Synopsis: Two corporate assistants hatch a plan to match-make their bosses.
Cute, funny and actually pretty good.
Which means I've now got 3 movies to add to my permanent watching list.
