It's all about the girl time

Last night I went to see a movie. It was given 1 & 1/2 stars by some magazine that puts Kate and her eight on the cover, so a very reliable source. I heard it was horrible, yet I still paid my 8 dollars (plus 3 for that wet stuff that normally is free out of a faucet) and sat in my seat to watch the second installment of Sex & the City. Listen, if you are a Southpark fan, or if you think that Jim Carrey should have won an Oscar for, well, any role he's ever played then no, this is not the movie for you. You will hate it, and probably give it less than 1 1/2 stars. But, if you are a woman, maybe a mom, crazy about your life, trying to figure things out, love a good cocktail, and most of all can't live without your best girlfriends, then by all means shell out the cash and sit and relax while watching a movie that doesn't involve animation. Look, it's not great acting..at times it reminded me of a high school play...turn, find mark, grab prop, speak next, etc. However, ignoring that, there are some funny things going on, and the pure insanity of it all is what makes it funny and entertaining. Because, lets face it...the chances of me and my best girlies going to the Middle East to be spoiled by a business associate is pretty much off the radar screen. We revel in what could be and if that is all we can get for right now, that's ok. And if this poorly acted movie brings me and just one of my besties together for an hour and a half (which I am so greatful for) then it's worth all the 3 dollar waters I can afford.
