#MatineeMonday – Always Be My Maybe

I was going to share another show today, but I needed a pick-me up and this movie definitely fits the bill. ALWAYS BE MY MAYBE is a rom-com with lots of humor and a feel good ending. I definitely recommend it. It’s the story of two life long friends who break apart after the death of the hero’s mother and a teenaged fling. Fast forward sixteen years and their lives have gone in very different directions. The heroine, Sasha Tran played by Ali Wong, is a celebrity chef and quite successful. The hero, Marcus Kim played by Randall Park, is living at home and working with his dad while sometimes playing music with his garage band. Sasha and Marcus find themselves thrown back together and rekindling the chemistry they once had, but not without some major bumps in the road. There is lots of humor, emotion and an ending that will have you smiling. There is also a surprise appearance by someone, but I won’t spoil that for you!

ALWAYS BE MY MAYBE is available on Netflix (https://www.netflix.com/title/80202874) and according to Wikipedia, was written by Ali Wong, Randall Park, Michael Golamco and directed by Nahnatchka Khan.

#ManCandyMonday Hugh Grant and Love Actually

I have to say I wasn’t a fan at first, but the one two punch of TWO WEEKS NOTICE and LOVE ACTUALLY just changed my mind. There was just something totally endearing and irresistibly cute about Hugh Grant in those two movies. So here he is with that too charming boyish grin!

If you haven’t seen LOVE ACTUALLY, you must do so! It’s a wonderful movie and a must see for the Christmas season (along with Muppets Christmas Carol). Click here if you cannot see the Love Actually trailer below.

Guilty Pleasures Monday – Ashton Kutcher

Photo Credit: David Shankbone@en.wikipedia.comOkay, my daughter thinks I’m crazy, but I think Ashton Kutcher is really cute. With the release of his new movie KILLERS this weekend, I figured he would be an appropriate Guilty Pleasures Monday.

In KILLERS, Ashton plays an assassin who just wants to have a normal life. Enter Katherine Heigl, a sweet and unsuspecting woman that Ashton meets and marries. The two of them then lead an ordinary life until three years later it appears that someone has placed a hit on Ashton, forcing them to go on the run for their lives!

Sounds like a fun romantic comedy and Ashton is a hottie. If you haven’t caught the trailer for KILLERS, here it is (and we get the added eye candy of Tom Selleck is in the movie!).

Hope you all had a great weekend!
