Chick Flick?

So, last night S.O. Man suggests we "do something together"

Great. Sounds good to me.

"Hey, let's rent a movie. We'll get something you want to see, a chick flick - how about Basic?"

That's what he considers a chick flick? Well, there is a chick in it ~ I think. I heard it was incredibly bad and I am not in the mood for a bad John Travolta movie (of which there are many)

Fortunately, I managed to get "About a Boy" instead. I had heard it was quite good, and I really enjoy Toni Collette's work. Happy to report it was a nice movie. A middle-aged man coming of age story. Heartwarming, moving, funny and all that.

I enjoyed it and it got S.O Man laughing. A smashing success.

I'd give it 4 out of 5 on the "word of mouth" scale.

UPDATE: I have been asked to include his original suggestion for the evening which was going to a movie. He's been wanting to see Seabiscuit. I didn't want to go out - too tired from the week. But still...Basic???
