Huge admission here...
While most of the time I find chick flicks/romcoms dull and predictable....


I will watch a film if it has a favourite actor of mine in it...

So after developing a huge crush on Mark Ruffalo in the film 'In the Cut' I wanted to see everything he's been in. Even the crap stuff. 13 going on 30 - utter, utter crap - 'Big' rewritten for a girl. But the worst one was 'Just Like Heaven' with Reece Witherspoon ... I wanted to see it because he was in it...I'd read the book - that was crap Chick Lit - the signs were there, I knew the film would be undemanding pap....

I knew no one would go to see the film with me...

So I did something very, very liberating...

I lied about where I was going (this was back when I was still Little Farmer's Wifey) so The Family (his) couldn't disapprove.

And I went to a matinee at the local cinema all on my own.

It was lovely.


The film was rubbish, but lovely undemanding rubbish.
