On Saturday, I kidnapped Angela to take her to a movie. We went to see:
We are both Katherine Heigl fans (from her role on "Grey's Anatomy") and we both love babies!
The movie played out just like the trailers hinted; two good-looking single people are named as godparents for the baby of mutual friends. An unfortunate accident leaves the baby without parents and they are both brought together to provide for the baby girl ... unless they can come up with a better plan. Of course they hated each other in the beginning and ... fell in love at the end. {Sorry if I blew the movie for you!} Although the movie plot was quite predictable it was fun to see how a baby can turn someone's live upside-down.
I didn't ask Angela what she would rate it (on the Rodgers movie rating scale)-- but I give it a solid "6".
I actually had a lot of FUN watching the previews before the movie!! For example, there is a really cute animated film coming out before the holidays called "Gnomeo & Juliet". Who could have guessed that there is a back-story for the garden gnomes people put in their yards???
And then we saw the preview for one of my favorite comedies with Ben Stiller... that's right, the second sequel to the original "Meet The Parents":
Natasha Rodgers swears that she has never seen a sequel as good as the original. BUT sometimes you just have to let go of any high expectations and let the movie fun unfold... like the classic Robert DeNiro line, "Remember, Jack, you are in my house and... I'll be WATCHING YOU." (insert two fingers waving from your eyeballs to him here). It looks like they are bringing back all of the same cast from the sequel "Meet the Fockers" (where everyone meets Jack's parents) except for Dustin Hoffman as Jack's happy-go-lucky dad. Now it is our turn to meet Jack's kids... otherwise known as "Little Fockers". It is funny just to say it outloud, don't you think?? hahaha
I am HOPING this next movie delivers some GREAT COMEDY right before Thanksgiving:
It is by the same director as "The Hangover" -- which tied with "Zombieland" as my TWO FAVORITE MOVIES of 2009! I have seen three trailers for it and I am already planning on dragging Bill to see it with me next month. It better be good...
You can bet that I'll be taking Angela to another chick movie... :) She didn't even bat an eyelash when I stopped next to the movie poster on our way out and pulled out my camera:
After all, she is a Rodgers. Boooooooyaaaaaaah!
