Lohan succeeds!!!


Last night, amazingly, I saw two pretty entertaining movies. Eric and I really needed a break from packing and wanted to go to the theater to see anything, didn't really matter what. We decided to go see the Lohan flick Just my Luck. I was not expecting much, considering the last movie I saw her in, Confessions of a Teenage Drama, sucked so bad I turned it off part way through. Then she came out with Herbie, which I haven't actually seen, but can you blame me? Surprisingly I really liked Just My Luck. It was what it advertised, a fun, cute, simple, romantic comedy. And, every now and then I enjoy myself some silly physical comedy. I am glad we gave this movie a chance.
The other movie I saw last night was Rumor Has It. I wasn't sure about this one, even part way through the movie I was a little confused and wondered where this movie was going, but by the end I really enjoyed it. Even though it did use the story of the Graduate as it's backdrop, it wasn't a rip off of any kind. It just used that as a stepping stone to a whole new twist, on what happened with the rest of the characters after that movie. I loved Shirley MacLaine in this movie, she is a tough broad who is fun to watch. The movie wouldn't go on any of my favorite movies lists, but definitely worth viewing. It just seems it is not that often I can see two romantic comedies that don't completely suck, but actually work.

I don't know if I would ever be able to pay theater prices for a Lohan flick.
