Looks ARE everything

Most the movies I have watched recently (or rather, pretty long ago since this post is long overdue) is about self-empowerment. First, 27 dresses teaches me not to be too helpful to anyone and learn to say NO and do things for yourself instead of always putting others first. Second, Lying to be perfect (the Cinderella Pact) teaches about confidence and like how looks don’t matter blah the usual thing when obviously looks do matter.

Would all those Youtube stars be that famous if on top of their humour and/or talents, they weren’t above average in terms of looks? And don’t even mention celebrities. We are all suckers for pretty faces, as much as we do not want to admit. But the last movie I watched – the vow – is based on a real-life story of how the wife forgets a part of her memory after an accident and her memory stops at a point before she met her husband, thus she is skeptical if the guy is her real husband as she changed quite a bit from the past etc. The ending is unexpected though. I expected the woman to miraculously remember everything after the efforts of her husband but end up actually she didn’t but was gradually turning back to the life she led before her accident and also gradually closer to her husband again. By the way, spoiler, they had a divorce O.o so they were like dating singles again.

Argh it has been way too long since I thought of putting up reviews of these three movies and now all I can think of are the above =-= ok erm, both 27 dresses and Lying to be perfect are pretty predictable but not horrible acting so still watch it when you wanna pass time and don’t want to use your brain too much. The vow…eh the chemistry wasn’t there. I think Rachel McAdams had better chemistry with Ryan Gosling in The Notebook, not with Channing Tatum. And there was an unnecessary scene where they showed his butt =-= I’m not interested at all. Repulsed actually. Overall, all three movies 3 out of 5.
