I liked it. :) It was bewwy cute. One particular part got me laughing, because it seemed to be more accurate than most people would admit:

The landlady was handing her the keys, and said, "Now, I'm available every day from 8:30 to 9:00 am, because I have a life."

At our first apartment, the hours were 9-5 every day, 12-12:30 for lunch. We were lucky if anyone was actually IN there for more than an hour a day, and every third day, there was a note saying they were closed for the day. :rolleyes:

Our next place was a house, and we lived next to the land lord, who was also a Catholic Priest. He was around when we needed to get ahold of him.

The next place was in a trailor park, and again, hours were from 8-4, m-w, closed thur, open 8-12 on friday. Again, they were actually there for about 5 hours a week.

This place now, our landlord owns an insurance company, and we go in there to pay rent, or call there if we need to get ahold of him. So far, we can tell he doesn't get there before around 10, but usually later, around 1. He is almost never there past 2, or 3 at the latest.

And he takes a LOT of personal days. ;)

So, in retrospect, I want to be a landlord when I grow up. :p


But, back to the movie. I thought it was really cute, and it had a few good laughs, but it wasn't hard laughing comedy. It was more in the cutesy mold. I liked. :)

Thanks for the rating, Gilly! I was thinking about taking my 16yo niece to see that next weekend, and we love those cutesy chick flick types :)
