Every once in a while, SWMBO demands her ounce of flesh and I have to take her to a (shudder) chickflick. I grit my teeth, smile and say, “Yes, dear”, and then suffer through it. I prepared to do that with this movie.

I didn’t. This was a good movie. Good acting, some very funny lines, and a bonus for the guys - not one but two hawt wimminz.

Guys, here’s a chance to score big brownie points with your ladies!

Thanks for this post - I can use it to help convince my husband to come with me when I see it!

Pepper Mill has already stated that she’d go off to this one with MilliCal, and without me.

Katherine Heigl is certainly a cutie, but I hated Knocked Up and have doubts about this one. I suppose it could be a renter.
