Title looks like a chick flick. Description looks like a chick flick. So when Mrs. ensigmatic chose it for tonight's entrainment I looked at her like "Srsly?" (Neither of us likes chick flicks.) "It's not what you think," she sez.
She was right--it wasn't. What it was, after getting past the kinda-chick-flicky opening, was 90 minutes of improbable action and quirky fun, punctuated with a few laugh-out-loud moments. And, for the guys, it doesn't hurt that Anna Kendrick is quite easy to look at
Two thumbs up from us.
"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher
Finally got around to watching this (put in the queue based purely on this thread). Put me down as another who thoroughly enjoyed it. Every descriptor used in this thread applies.
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11
...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted]
