TV: Mean Girls & Shallow Hal

I have been watching some of my older movies lately. Yesterday, I re-watched Mamma Mia because the music has been going through my head all week. After watching that I remembered that Amanda Seyfried, who plays Sophie, the girl who is getting married in Mamma Mia, was also in Mean Girls. So, I decided to watch Mean Girls. It's a cute movie about this girl who has been homeschooled for 16 years (Lindsay Lohan) who comes to the states and goes to school. She has trouble making any friends the first day. The second day, the Plastics, a clicque of 3 of the most popular girls at school, invite her to eat lunch with them, and trouble starts brewing as she because "mean" like them. It's a cute movie for teen girls and has a happy ending. Amanda Seyfried is the "stupid" girl in the Plastics and their leader is played by another favorite actress, Rachel McAdams.

I also watched Shallow Hal this week. This is a comedy. Jack Black plays Hal, who is very shallow, until he gets trapped in the elevator with Tony Robbins one day.  Since they are stuck for a long time, Tony and Hal talk and Tony realizes that Hal is brainwashed into believing that only outer beauty is important. He reconditions Hal to see people's true "heart" beauty, so even ladies who are less than physically attractive but who have a beautiful heart look like models to him.  His friend Mauricio, played by Jason Alexander is disgusted by this because he has his own deformity that makes him only like physically perfect girls. Very cute, funny movie!

TV: A Cinderella Story & Mamma Mia!

Ok, so last night, I watched A Cinderella Story. This is a really funny movie. It's fun for the whole family. It's a "Cinderella" story with Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray. The step-sisters are hilarious with each other and the step-mom is ridiculously funny. Hilary did a music video with her sister Hailey of the song "Our Lips Are Sealed".  It's just a really cute, funny movie! Click here to see it on IMDB (Internet Movie Database)!

I also watched Mamma Mia. This is a cute story, too, about a girl who is getting married, and she knows her father is one of three possible men and she invites all three of them to her wedding. It's based on a famous Broadway musical. The music is really good. Four of my favorite songs are Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, Take a Chance on Me, and I Have a Dream. There are several other songs that I know I've heard before (outside of this movie). I like this movie. It's scenery is beautiful. The only thing I don't like about this movie is that one of the possible fathers comes out of the closet.
