Romancing the Bride (2005)
Funny! Carrie Fisher rocks!
This is a great movie - I bought it as soon as the DVD was released! The main characters are great and believable - but Carrie Fisher makes this movie! As mother of the bride she is over the top and hysterically funny! The stuff she does is just crazy - who would think of telling their future son-in-law that his bride is out having "vaginal rejuvenation" to work out her stress? She is funny, sarcastic and waaaayyyyyy over the top! It's a great love story without her - with her and her dramatics - makes it a great and funny movie. The romance is pretty hot as well, Matt and Laurie really bring it on and there's definitely chemistry between them - and Matt is totally hot and lucky us, takes off his shirt and gets wet as well. Even my mom loved this movie when she borrowed it - I was lucky to get my DVD back! I guess I'll have to buy her her own copy!
Love Actually (2003)
One you can watch over and over
This is a wonderful movie. There's so many different stories going on and as you move between the the plots you begin to realize that there are connections between them. It may take several viewings to get how each plot is related to another - but there's a connection! Stories range from sweet to sad to young love and unrequited love. But in the end it's all about love, and shouldn't that be what the holidays are all about? One of my favorite scenes is Hugh Grant dancing around as the Prime Minister.... but Colin firth butchering Portuguese is endearing and the guy going to America to get lucky (because with his accent he'll be like a prince without the whack job family) and does - is just laugh out loud funny!
