Book turned Movie Sunday

Have you ever read a book and went, "that is so me." Well I remember seeing the preview for He's Just Not That Into You and thinking this will be a cute movie. Come to find out the movie is based off a self help book. So me being the late twenties single woman that I was went out and bought the book. And yes when I went to the bookstore I did one of those looks before you go into the self help section just in case you see someone you know. We've all done it.

I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few people who liked this book. It didn't get me a man or anything, lol. But there were a few things in there where I've gone, "oh that is so me."

Going back to the movie now. I really liked this movie. Sure I like the happy endings but what was nice about this one was the ending. Not everyone got their happy ending. It was almost reality but you knew the characters would be alright someday. As much as we don't want to admit it. We have that guy friend who has cheated. We know that woman who was in the affair. We also know that woman who is now divorce because of that man.

Which character could I relate to? There were a couple. I think my favorite was when Drew Barrymore's character talks about the technology of trying to get with a man. I have said stuff like that, lol. What about you? Did you like the self-help book? Maybe you liked the movie but never thought of reading the book. Was there a character you could relate to?

  1. I wasn't all that impressed with this movie. I thought it made women look desperate. Like we all sit around dreaming up a plan to get someone to marry us. Like we have no other goals in life but to get married. I thought the book made some good points about reading the signs but the movie really turned me off.
