There is no end for my love of sappy chick flicks. And they must be of a certain caliber. They can't be too ridiculous and they can't be too deep.
They must be of the kind (which most ppl hate) where the situation is just ridiculous enough that you hope it never happens to you, but plausible in the Hollywood way. Of course the ending must be good and the twists thrown in must be fresh, yet cliched in their purposes.
I'm talking about 27 dresses, Made of Honor, Ugly Truth, He's Just Not That Into You chick flicks, not your high quality business like "When Harry Met Sally" (albeit that's adorable too).
As for why I love them so much. Truthfully, I don't know. Maybe it's because I want my life to have dramatic moments like that. And possibly because of my love for these films, I create moments like that in my life, so I can pretend it is a movie....and that's my hopeless romantic coming out.
Ok. Well. I am right there with you on these types of movies. I saw Bride Wars last weekend. Rented it with my sis. LOVED it. I mean. It was silly. Had charm. Was fairly predictable. But I really, really loved it.
