Marry Me

Yea, I know. I've been watching too many romantic comedies and maybe, you're bored reading about them. I promise, my next review will cover another genre. "Marry Me" is not a movie you can catch in the theaters because it's made for home viewing i.e. LifeTime. So, I didn't think it would entertain much when I started to play it. But, Lucy Lui plays the lead and I wanted to while away some more of my time. Besides, romantic comedies simulate artificial glow for sometime. :) It comes in two parts and stretches to about 3 hours or so. But, fear not, it does entertain. The comedy is good, the timing is good and you can laugh a bit while Ray, Lucy Lui's character, searches for her fairy tale to happen and people try to tell her that she'll only end up an old maid.
Are there any girls/women who don't dream about the fairy tale? I don't mean castles and prince's (although it did happen for Kate Middleton). Ofcourse, a pauper wouldn't do either. Doesn't everyone (i.e. from the female species) dream about finding a loving, affectionate, chivalrous, handsome male, who'll sweep her off her feet, whisk her to beautiful locations and shower her with beautiful gifts. I think it must be the influence of movies and books that make women wish for this fairy tale cos' it sure doesn't happen in real life. By the way, I do wonder, what do men want? Do they have an equivalent of this fairy tale? Or are they just unconsciously looking for a woman who'll do all their work. :)
Back to the movie... so, that's what the movie is about. Ray gets dumped by her boy friend and worries if her fairy tale will ever happen. And then all of a sudden, she gets a lot of male attention. But which one is the one that she wants? Like I said earlier, it is entertaining. So, give it a shot.
