REVIEW

If you watched the movie, you probably noticed my "summary" is pretty vague. 

BUT! The movie was good. I don't understand why so many critics hate this movie so much. Yes, this movie is pretty predictable, but it provides a very romantic, yet occasionally comedic, features. I came out of the the theater happy. 

SHOULD YOU WATCH THE MOVIE?
I APROVE AND NOT VETO THIS MOVIE!
It's better for people who like chick flicks I guess. I really enjoyed the movie though.


By the way! I'm sorry this seems rushed. I've been really busy lately. I'll write something less rushed next time! Thanks for reading! I didn't even know some people actually read my blog. :)
