So good! The acting was superb. Now if only the man they had gotten to play Sandra Bullock’s fiancée had been just a leeeettttle hotter. I mean he was hot, don’t get me wrong. Austrailian accents will do that for a fella, but he could have been so much HOTTER. Sigh. I was very disillusioned. About what? I have no idea.
Anyway, southern culture on the rocks (an apt way of putting it considering how much alcohol they drank.) I really should read the book to compare because I’m kind of curious if I would like the Vivi character more or less. I really want to like her more.
When we left the theatre I actually bemoaned the fact to my mother that she didn’t beat me enough in my childhood because if she had then perhaps I could be a published playwright already with things being produced on stages. She laughed at me and said it was never too late.
Posted by michele at May 12, 2002 12:00 PMthe movie is not about how hot the fiance of the main character is! have you never read the actual books? it is quite strange for someone to watch an entire movie about the heartbreak of a mother-daughter relationship falling apart and the only things you comment on are the fact that conner is hot and has an accent~which should not be there considering that he is supposed to be from the upper-east part of th US~ and that your mother didn't beat you enough! did you not see the actual story about how screwed up sidda was because of her mother beating her! it was a useless waste of space for you to do that!
