Mad Money

Monday, January 21st, 2008

This here is Mad Money, Bridget Cardigan (Diane Keaton) is shocked that she is on the verge of losing her home and comfortable upper middle class lifes when her husband, Don (Ted Danson) has problems at work, one being downsized from his job.

One critic even said it should be a federal offence releasing this movie on DVD, it was originally made for TV back in (no date to hand), and so I would make up my own mind about it.

Armed only with a decades old English degree and years as a dedicated mother and corporate wife, Bridget is forced into the unfamiliar labor market with no job skills.

She accepts the only position she can find — janitor at the Federal Reserve Bank.

27 Dresses

Monday, January 21st, 2008

The surprise of “27 Dresses” is that is really about finding love and going after what you want.

Jane has always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself.

Jane’s entire life has been about making other people happy - and she has a closet full of 27 bridesmaid dresses to prove it.

One memorable evening, she manages to shuttle between wedding receptions in Manhattan and Brooklyn, witnessed by Kevin (James Marsden), a newspaper reporter who realizes that a story about this wedding junkie is his ticket off the newspaper’s bridal beat.
