Verdict: Sure, why not!
I'll admit... I went to watch this movie for the free goodies and give-aways and still almost backed out of it. Which there in and of itself explains the problem with this movie: getting anyone to go to the theater to watch it. My boyfriend wouldn't come near it ("that movie's for girls"), and the combination of it's two leading actresses (Francis McDormand and Amy Adams) made me wonder if I should expect Enchanted or Fargo. What was this movie about, anyway?
Going beyond the gads of girl candy --makeovers, love triangles, giggling, pretty dresses--the acting is fantastic, the characters are very likable, the script is super, and there's a prince charming and happy ending. Amy Adams is as good as ever and enhanced by the quick-witted dialog that is so 1920's England. However, I wanted to see more: Lee Pace ("Michael"), singing and dancing, blond in McDormand's hair (that mousy brown was very unflattering.)
If you have some time between shopping or want to take your mom, sister, or best bud to an easy-on-the-eyes and entertaining movie--or if you're keeping an eye on that Amy Adams--then yeah, go see it. You'll like it.
Opens today in D.C.
