Ok, Ok...I know it's been forever since I wrote a review...was anyone really reading anyway? If so, I'm sorry everybody I recently moved to Florida and I've been so relaxed that even though I have watched numerous chick flicks I wasn't in the mood to write anything about them (also did anyone else notice that I've been doing this for a year...I just did).

So, my first chick flick back is a movie called "Women in Trouble" (2009). And, the movie is about...you guessed it...women that are in trouble. Now, they aren't in trouble like normal women are in trouble (for the most part anyways) because this is an ensemble piece about porn stars, therapists, estranged mothers, etc. Now if you are a woman...and then if you are a one of other choices then you might relate. I really couldn't relate. But, then again, I'm not a female porn star therapist estranged from my child. But, then again...who is?

I consumed a bottle of Sam Adams spring seasonal called Noble Pils. Its a pilsner that is very noble and very tasty. If you like pilsners then run to the store and pick one up before the spring is over. It's light and airy with a wonderful aroma and just a hint of almondberry. Just kidding...but its really good. You can drink it out of the bottle if you want but I suggest pouring it into an icey pint glass.

Now, if you have a boyfriend and you want to watch a movie together then you both might want to watch this one. Heres the trailer;

Honestly, I thought this would be a lot better than it was...I mean Carla Gugino as a porn star named Electra Luxx (they are making a spin-off called Electra Luxx). The story is a little weak and it could have been a lot better but it wasn't really that bad.

FORCE THE BOYFRIEND: 8 out of 10 (1 mean he'll hate it, 10 means he'll love it) - Go ahead and force him...I think he'll like it.

Watch if you liked...I don't know.

Chick Flick: 3 cartons of ice cream (out of 5)-
DVD: 2 pieces of milky chocolate (out of 5)- awesome trailer
Beer: 4 manly high fives (out of 5)

!!!!COMMENTS HALL OF FAME!!!!

GET OVER THE CATS, ALREADY!

"Yes, I admit, we single ladies have cats. God, is it so wrong for a guy to actually like a f*cking cat?! They are self sufficient, just like they "really want their women" and they aren't dumb...well, I'll admit, like guys want their women. I really enjoyed the middle of this movie but hated the predictable ending and beginning as well. There was some good advice in it but obviously, it backfired on the neurotic, control freak and she resulted in telling the "ugly truth" about herself. Guys expect us to accept them as they are and look past their poor grooming habits "down there" (if you know what I mean boys).... and their inability to look at themselves as not "perfect specimens". However, we women go through some brutal and I mean brutal shit to become the perfect, idealistic, bimbo-esque-with a brain, but not too much so he isn't threatened, selves!

It is hard to just lay it out there for someone and be yourself!!!! I admit. I play the game and I play it well. But it is tiring. It is frustrating. And, it has left me 100% alone. Therefore, I am left wondering, what is better...The girl he wants me to be or the girl I am. Dark Beer drinker, skinny because of Pilates which means yes, boys, I am flexible...look past the mouth that is telling you to f*ck off and realize, it is all in good fun...embrace it, scotch drinker...etc...I could go on and on but until someone is ready to take on a challenge and not take the easy way out...I would rather be single.
