Chick Flick Reviews!

Easy A - is one of the smartest high school comedies to come out in years. It's Mean Girl's meets Superbad meets A John Hughes Movie. Emma Stone is a star and Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci steal the movie. While it sometimes falls into traps the movie is so quick-witted and sharp that it never falls behind. I didn't think i was going to enjoy this one and ended up having a good time.

Love and Other Drugs - It starts off as a fresh adult romantic comedy that hollywood hasn't seen since the mid 90's but it falters with it's many subplots and it's rushed ending. It wants to be taken more seriously but it can never find the right tone. The movie is enjoyable though for the most part with really good performances from the two leads. Anne Hathaway (not her biggest fan) is excellent. It's worth a rental

Rabbit Hole (Not really a chick flick but whatever) - A very good adaptation of one of my favorite plays of all time. Nicole Kidman is fantastic, proving that she is super talented. John Cameron Mitchell expertly handles the story with crisp but subtle direction. The story never wallows in it's subject matter which makes the film very effective at the end. One of the best of the year.
