This is a pretty good flick to watch. Enough said!



That was my review. See ya later!



What? You’re still here? What do you want from me? A synopsis?



Ok! Ok! Relax! I’ll give you a synopsis!

So, Julia Louis-Dreyfus (JLD) plays a divorcee masseuse named Eva who meets Albert, a nice guy played by James Gandolfini (in one of his final roles). At the same party she befriends, Marissa (Catherine Keener), a successful poet whom she takes on as a client. She is also friends with Toni Collette (did I mention that). Well, Eva and Albert hit it off, and she really starts to like him, even though he’s fat, and then she finds out that Marissa is actually his ex-wife, and she uses the relationship to get info on Albert, which begins to sour her feelings for him. Until [spoiler] he finds out…and…Enough said!

For a chick flick, this is a pretty well made little film with some great acting and funny parts.  And, don't get it twisted.  This is indeed a chick flick.  JLD dresses down to believably play Eva with just the right amount of insecurity and spunk. James Gandolfini plays against type as Mr. Simple Nice Guy and he pulls it off quite well. And, Catherine Keener is really spot-on as the organized, new age (?) poet. Even Toni Collette and Ben Falcone, are great as the comic relief couple. All in all a great film. Enough Said.

This a movie made by adults for adults even though the characters don’t always act like adults in the movie. Let me rephrase, this is a movie made by LA adults for LA adults, acting like LA adults. Not that I have a problem with LA, I hear the weather is nice. One more time, maybe not as harsh, this is a movie made by LA adults for women that don’t always act like adults. I should just stop typing now before I..well..Enough said.

At least, I think I’m funny. Enough said.

FORCE THE BOYFRIEND:  7 out of 10 (He'll think its aight)

Beer Recommendation

This chick flick will go down smooth with a  smoothy, smooth

Kelso Pilsner.  While it has nothing to do with LA or even children

going to Sarah Lawrence it has everything to do with deliciousness 

and being smoothy, smooth smooth.

Kelso Pilsner

So, I’m not going to wax poetic about how it’s the 4th of July and patriotism, and backyard barbecues and how good this beer would be with a group of your best friends and family. I won’t tell you how delicious it will be ice cold as the temperature rises this weekend. I won’t say any of that because I think I said it all before about another beer. Because for some reason, every beer I taste, if its good, I want to head out and fire up the grill, invite some friends over, and throw a party. But, that’s just me.

Straight outta Brooklyn, Kelso Brewing Company's  Pilsner comes in a can. And, it taste great right out of the can. It tastes even better when poured into a glass. It’s beautifully transparent and gold in color. It is very bright and has a thick, soapy head with decent lacing for a Pilsner. The aroma has a hint of spice with some grains. It has a trace of sweetness and grain. It has a nice dry finish.

I definitely would recommend this beer to anyone. And, if you’re thinking about picking up some Miller Lite, Budweiser, or Coors forget about it and pick up a sixer of Kelso’s Pilsner. You won’t regret it.

Profile:  It's a pilsner that is bright, light golden and airy.

Food Pairing:  This would go great with just about anything.  Burgers, hotdogs, you name it.  If it goes on the grill it will go with this beer.

Cheese pairing:  Gouda.  It would be very gouda with gouda!

Drinking utensil:  Pint glass or straight from the can.

I would pair this with any chick flick that goes down smooth.  Something classic that you would watch on the weekend.  Here's a suggestion!

Have a Happy and safe 4th of July weekend and remember to please drink responsibly!
