What is it with male critics?
They have a built-in bias against chick flicks. It really is annoying. I wish they would attempt to be a little bit more open-minded.
Because, I have to confess, I was pleasantly surprised.
Note that you will be paying to watch a woman go on a spiritual quest in what may be perceived to be in a most self-indulgent manner.
And because I have thought that very thing, I never read the book because I have told everyone "I already lived that book; I don't need to read it."
I was gratefully surprised as to how moving the movie was. Of course men don't like it; it wreaks emotional havoc on them. It stirs up empathetic feelings of sadness, loss, grief.
Women, we love to watch these movies. They help us heal.
Maybe if more men watched these kinds of movies they wouldn't be so constipated.
Although, I will say, none of the actors appeared to be crying when there were acting like they were crying. One time, it looked like someone put two eye drops of water, each one directly below each of Julia's pupils, in an attempt to make it look like she had shed real tears. Crocodile tears, I say!
And some of the lines were kind of hokey.
But I enjoyed the movie more than I thought I would.
