Raising Helen
Rated: 6 Paws
Category: Comedy / Drama
A definite chick-flick movie, but guys you do get to see some good looking females.
There is Kate Hudson who plays Helen Harris and Hayden Panettiere is one of the children Helen has to look after. A good older sister played by Joan Cusack. You will feel good after watching this movie. Guys this one is a brownie point winner, and you can ogle the chicks too.
Raising Helen
Helen Harris get custody of her sisters children when their mother and father are killed in an accident. A movie about the acceptance of responsibility, how family can make you a better person.
Guys, yes you can NOW safely drool over Hayden Panettiere without being a dirty old man, she is over 18 at time of this posting heh heh.
I dunno, maybe it is me, but i have not seen a movie with John Corbett in it that did not suc.

Under the Tuscan Sun
Rated: 8 Paws
Category: Romance / Comedy
Another Diane Lane movie which makes for great viewing.
You'll get to see Italy and enjoy some culture, and the story will keep you going.
It can be called a chick flick, not many guys will willingly watch it unless you like Diane Lane. This is a definite for couples to watch.
Under the Tuscan Sun
Synopsis:
When Frances's happy marriage suddenly comes to an end. She gets on a bus tour of Tuscany (Italy) and on a whim buys a place there. We are taken on a journey of self re-discovery where she find herself and that life can be beautiful once again.
This is one of the few movies I'd say buy it keep it.

The Gods must be crazy
Rated: 5 Paws
Category: Comedy
Feeling down? Then this is just the movie(s) to pick you up. Yup I do mean movies or movie if you are too lazy to get both. Remember this movie is simply a comedy, a real steal because it does not ever try to be more than a fast paced collection of situations tied together by a Kalahari Bushman who tried his best to return a "gift" from the Gods.
The Gods Must Be Crazy on IMDB
The Gods Must Be Crazy II on IMDB
Synopsis:
The Gods Must Be Crazy
A Kalahari Bushman's adventures in trying to return a gift from the Gods.
On the way he gets mixed up in the affairs of the crazy white people he meets.
The Gods Must Be Crazy II
The same Kalahari Bushman's adventures in trying to find his son and daughter.
Dr. Stephen Marshall, the bumbling scientist who looses his ability to think when pretty women are present.
Some say you need a refined funny bone to get these movies. But then I hardly find Chris Farley, oh sure if you are into the "fat guy who bumbles and fumbles" routine. But then I have NOT met anyone who has seen these 2 movies and said they did not laugh loudly.

Shall we dance
Rated: 2 Paws
Category: Feel Good / Comedy
Have some free time and nothing good to watch, then get your hands on this movie.
Not too heavy on the plot, cheese cake provided by Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere is...Richard Gere! A movie for both guys & gals.
Shall we dance on IMDB
Synopsis:
An overworked laywer John Clark(Richard Gere) notices Paulina (Jennifer Lopez) in the window of a dance studio, he is intrigued by the beauty and sadness. So one day he decided to pop in and see her, but as he gets to know the guys in his class he slowly discovers that he really like dancing Ballroom Dancing to be exact.
It seemed to me that the movie finished too fast, I was thinking that I had too much evening left over after the movie finished... Wait scratch that, after the movie why not take your partner out for some dancing, REAL dancing, Ballroom style.

When Harry Met Sally
Rating: 5 Paws
Category: Romance/Comedy
A Feel Good romantic movie. A bit of comedy but this is not really a comedy movie. Ideal for a couple to get together. Discuss whether a guy and a girl can be friends without the sex thing getting inbetween. Guys, get this movie the brownie points are worth it. Gals the guys need to know..y'know what I mean.
When Harry Met Sally on IMDB
Synopsis:
Sally meets Harry after they both graduate from the University of Chicago.
Over the years they keep bumping into each other. Relationships come and go, but somehow their friendship remains and grows. Without giving too much away and spoiling this classic they eventually get together. But remember it is not arriving but the journey that counts.
This 1989 movie is classic Billy Crystal & Meg Ryan.
No matter how often you watch it (ok, not every week) you will find this movie just as entertaining.
