"The best romantic comedy, ever. Besides Pretty Woman"-Jon. From the writer and stars of My Big Fat Greek Wedding comes I Hate Valentines day starring Nia Vardalos and John Corbett (Aidan of "Sex and the City").
If you haven't seen it: Georgia (Vardalos) is a Brooklyn florist who believes in romance, but not in relationships. She will only go on five dates before she ends the relationship. Greg is a new restaurateur who's just had his heart broken, knowing about Georgia's five date rule, Greg ad Georgia begin dating, as a sort of boot camp for Greg. But what happens when that fifth date comes
Why I Love This Movie: My Big Fat Greek Wedding was a huge blockbuster and these actors have a great chemistry. Vardalos (who directed this time around) creates realistic and funny characters who feel like people you know. It's also refreshing to romantic leads in their forties (Vardalos is 47 this year!) and who don't necressarily look like Matthew McConaughey and Katherine Heigl.
Rent this if you're in the mood for: A well written, well acted, semi-traditional rom-com.
I watched it again Katie the next day!
