Definitely, Maybe is really sweet. :) It's not the best movie in the entire world, but it's an adorable chickflic, and I think you'd enjoy it. It's really, REALLY cute! ^_^

I was so happy when Diablo Cody won, too!

I too felt entirely disconnected, though Diablo Cody's speech made me misty. In fact, Joe and I played Scrabble the entire time, and except for the In Memorium montage, I barely watched.

My roommate and I saw Definitely, Maybe and we both loved it. I recommend it, though it is frustrating at points (WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU JERK?!)... that sort of thing.

Whatever flaws Definitely, Maybe has, it will not depress you. Also, they are ignorable for how cute it is.

I've been wondering-as someone so into North Carolina, basketball, and YA stuff, why don't you watch One Tree Hill?

I've wondered the same. One Tree Hill is made of awesome!

I also think you would enjoy One Tree Hill- it is full of all sorts of drama, the acting is pretty good considering it is a WB/CW TV series, there are amazingly hot guys in it and I have loved it since it began... Not that you need more on your plate, but if you ever catch up with everything on your list of things to see and need a suggestion, One Tree Hill is perfect for any time... :)

I AGREE!
You must must must watch One Tree Hill!
It is the one show that I have seen EVERY SINGLE episode of. It's just that good.

I really want to see The Savages. Not only because I adore Laura Linney but because the clip from it that they showed for her part of the Oscars was the only funny one in the entire category. That made me fall in love with her (and the idea of the movie) a little bit more.

Definitely, Maybe was a cute movie..I saw it with some of my girlfriends on Valentine's day. Predictable, but lovely nonetheless. I would say wait until you can see it at matinée price.

I really want to see the Savages, but it does sound pretty depressing. Oh man, I was so glad Once won for their song "Falling Slowly." It's so amazing. :)

Definitely Maybe was very good. Some parts were a little sad but it wouldn't make you cry or anything. You should totally go see it!

I couldn't see a movie where any one died until my son was two or so...

In fact, I started crying during COLD MOUNTAIN during the part where the jerk soldier lays the baby outside, left the theatre and called my husband to see if E was okay (he was about 8 months old I think).

You're normal.

Yay FNL!! How can we live without Riggins? (And re: the Oscars, someone should cast him in a movie, ASAP).

or more aptly for me just the MOM THING.

I cant do depressing movings now...just eeeeking my way back to serious books.

You might want to stay clear of La Vie en Rose, as well. Marion Cotillard gives an amazing performace, but poor Edith Piaf's life was one depressing blow after another.

I was thrilled Cotillard won. You can't help but love someone when her reaction in the press conference is ""I'm totally overwhelmed with joy and sparkles and fireworks and everything that goes like 'boom boom boom.'"

Sarah, you MUST see Once! It won for Best Original Song (for "Falling Slowly") and it is the best movie I've seen in a long, long time. Best yet, it is already on DVD, so you can watch it at your leisure. You will LOVE it, I just know!

Definitely Maybe was fabulous. It will not depress you, it will make you laugh. Go see it!

I loved Definitely, Maybe. It's not at all depressing, it's fantastic. I can't wait to see it again. :)

I also watched the Oscars last night, but was very disappionted to see that Ellen Paige didn't win for Juno. Thankfully Diablo cody won though. I live in Minnesota, which is where Juno was written and filmed, so today the newscasters are going crazy over the win. I have to say, after 200 comercials for todays broadcast, it's getting old!

I saw Definitely, Maybe yesterday. It was so good! I highly recommend you see it. :D

Sarah, have you seen The Kite Runner yet?? I'll admit, it's heartbreaking but ... I think you should check it out. It's such an amazing movie. And book!!

P.S. Glad I read your post about The Savages. I was under the impression that the movie would be somewhat comedic based on the trailer :-X

I second theatercab's suggestion. Once is a sweet little movies with brilliant music. And it is short (right at 90 minutes). Watch their acceptance speech on youtube...they are sooo adorable. I love those two!

I was under the impression that The Savages is a comedy, too. Boo for misleading previews! (Georgia Rule, anyone?) The Savages isn't playing in my area yet and maybe never will, but I will still see it though Netflix because I love Laura Linney and PSH. I'll just make sure to have some tissue handy.

Definitely Maybe is adorable, like everyone has commented above. I think the reason it's not getting a lot of press is that there are no really big names involved. I liked all of the leads, so I don't think anyone was miscast, but put Jake Gyllenhaal or, er, ooh Paul Rudd <3 or someone like that in there, and there'd be a lot more buzz about the movie.

I loved and adored "Definitely, Maybe". One of the better romantic comedies I've seen as of late. Though yes, it did make me cry, but that's just because of Abigail Breslin. That girl has a crazy ability to make me cry.

I saw "Atonement" (and "Juno" again) on Saturday. It was really good, but definitely not a happy movie.

that Lock and Key comes out the day before my 21st birthday.

I KNOW WHAT I WANT!! =D

No! DEFINITELY DO NOT go see Definitely Maybe. I really did not like it. The main guy was funny, but all of the good parts were in the commercials. The plot was rather stupid and unplanned/unexpected pregnancies as well as cheating on partners appeared extremely frequently. Instead of that one, try 27 Dresses (if you're going for something cutesy) or Atonement (if you're more into separated romance stories...) Actually, just read the book Atonement, 'cause it was SUPER good :)

Hope Sasha's good and you're not sick!

Love
.:A:.

I thought there was only one unplanned pregnancy and one reference...?

*shrug* I'm probably missing something.

Grateful for your recommendation of 27 Dresses, though! I REALLY want to see that!!!

Hey Sarah!

This is kind of a delayed response to one of your posts but there's a book called Gentlemen and Players that is, for lack of a better word, phenomenal. It's a murder mystery but it's not really a mystery...just a ..plot? It's written by the same woman who wrote Chocolat (joAnn Harris, I think?) and I'm not usually a fan of murder mysteries, as I like those uplifting happy happy joy joy books but this is absolutely amazing. And I"m not really sure what kind of books you enjoy reading for leisure but this is a stay-up-until-two o'clock kind of book. Just to throw it out there....it's an option for whenever you get time to read! Looking forward to Lock and KEy!

I liked "Definitely, Maybe." I thought it was cute and Abigail Breslin is amazing (you have seen Little Miss Sunshine right?) But "27 Dresses" is also fun. I love Katherine Heigl (Yay "Grey's Anatomy"). Plus if you find the time, and you don't already watch it, you should definitely check out "One Tree Hill." I watched a little bit of "Friday Night Lights" the other day, I wasn't quite sucked in but it did look good. I really enjoyed the movie. And of course I can't wait until "Lock and Key" comes out!!! I'm rereading "This Lullaby" right now and it's making me even more excited for April :)
