I liked it, didn't love it. You know Anna Kendrick has a big single with the cups song now?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.
I LOVED it. A lot of fun.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
the cups song? wha?
I was expecting that it was going to be the worst movie ever, so my low expectations helped elevate this movie!
I'm with Amy: I was just so pleased. I like that they generally did okay with women of different racial/ethnic backgrounds. Wasn't perfect, but about as good as one could hope. I thought body size issues were dealt with okay as well.
The romance parts didn't bug me.

Sara actually asked if we could all watch it one night last winter, my parents included, and everyone loved it. I'm a sucker for acapella. I'm spelling that wrong, aren't I?
The cups song is the one Anna Kendrick's character uses for her audition, when she sits on the stage and stacks and restacks the red cups while she's singing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Huh. I heard that on the radio and had no idea that's what it was.

I love that song, and I sort of want to watch the movie that the video is about.
The cup song thing is so weird, because I learned the cup game in acting class.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
There is a lovely version of the Cup Song performed in Irish by a large group of Irish students here: [link]

I saw that! It's so cool.

Hey. New board.
The movie is very good. An example of the teen movie genre that manages to be both funny and interesting. Plus music. And the movie version of Cups is awesome. I am not as fond of the longer production cut though.
