How do you get your husband to watch things like that?
My husband walks through the room and says "Are you watching another one of those with all the ugly Brits?" :)
My husband will occasionally watch a "chick flick" if it is well made. He actually was interested in seeing Pride and Prejudice in the theaters and had said that if any of us (myself or our two daughters) had wanted to go see it, he would have. (I am beginning to think he may have a "thing" for Kiera Knightley.)
Fortunately, for him, I am not much of a "chick flick" kind of a gal so the number of girlie films he has to see is actually limited. And, although I wanted to see this film, I knew I could wait until it came out on DVD.
If you are looking for a "love story" type movie that he will sit down and enjoy, and so will you, may I suggest Cinderella Man. I was so disappointed that this movie didn't do better, as it has a lot of great "conservative" values to it. I saw it in theaters with my hubby and our 18 year old daughter and all three of us enjoyed this movie. I don't think women wanted to go see it because of the boxing, but there is a love story in there about a man completely devouted to his wife and children. Also, although I don't like boxing, after watching this film I began to understand what someone else might like about it. The boxing scenes are so well done. Anyway, if you want to know how good Cinderella Man is, it pretty much got ignored by The Academy which means, IMHO, that it is a first-rate movie that would appeal to a wide swath of the American public.
Okay, done with my movie reviews.
