Happy belated Single Awareness Day to everyone! Man I just loath this time of year. I mean, I guess it's great if you have someone to spend the holiday with, but as for me and my single self, I will support the stereotypical bitter girl who hates on the commercialism of love that is expressed every February 14th. I do hope to one day be able to enjoy it as it is meant to be enjoyed, though.
This year, as it was to mark the 1 year anniversary of my ex-fiance coming home from his mission, I knew that I could not spend V-day night at home, alone, with nothing to do. If I did that, I would just wallow, and wallowing Shalese is an ugly Shalese. So instead, I spent the majority of the day at work and then spent the night with my awesome sister up in north Ogden. She invited me to come and hang out with her friends and go watch the Vow. I was all for that plan, especially since I've harbored a long-lasting obsession with Channing Tatum ever since Step Up.
My impression of the movie? It was pretty good I guess, but if you are going to watch it for a nice romantic pick-me-up, it won't ring your bell. The expression of love in this movie was profound (especially coming from Channing's character. I hope to have a husband as devoted as he was) but I did not walk out of that theater feeling lighter than air like a good Hugh Grant movie might have done. But, I did like it.

I agree with your description of The Vow. That's how I felt. You think you're going in for the romantic, floating on air, experience. Totally not. But still a good message about love.
ReplyDeleteI cannot decide whether or not I want to see The Vow. Most reports of it are much like yours - see it, but you'll probably never care to see it again. I know - I'll wait for Dollar Theater!
ReplyDeleteYou are darling Shalese, I'm sure the majority of the Valentine's Days in your lifetime will be fantastic ones. And thanks for the heads up about The Vow!
ReplyDeleteSorry you had a wretched Valentine's Day!! It's such a scam by the greeting card industry anyway! I'm sad about the vow...I had high hopes for this one! Definitely go see a Hugh Grant movie next one (he's one of my VERY favorites!!)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about The Vow. Wasn't crazy about it. I completely agree about the Hugh Grant statement as well. He's a hunk.
