Favorite New Movie




I am fairly easy going when it comes to movies. I like most of them, and when I find one that I love, I have absolutely no problem watching it over and over again. Relatively recent obsessions have included:

The Breakup
Dan in Real Life
Can't Hardly Wait
Juno
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

And now? I bring a new addition to the list. I love you, Man. Paul Rudd is absolutely amazing in this hysterical film. Of course, the fact that there is a puggle bearing a STRIKING resemblance to Penny doesn't hurt either! If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend checking it out. I will be purchasing it shortly (most likely at Meijer at 1am in the morning).
