"Every woman has exactly the love life that she wants."
For Valentine's Day a group of us from HIS Women went out to dinner and to see Wedding Date with Deborah Messing and Dermot Mulroney. It was amusing, and the settingwas very pretty, but the whole time I found myself thinking, But he's a male escort! Why are we rooting for him? And what does that catch phrase mean? I know agreat many women who would be glad to have a man, but who don't. Therefore they don't have the love life they want. If you really look at it, it falls apart like so much of Hollywood does.

By contrast, I went to go see Hitch with my friend Stacie just a day laterand loved it. Maybe because it focused on men as pursuing women rather than women as desperate and men as finally getting trapped into making a commitment. It did have product placement galore, and some plot holes, but the focus was on good guys finding good women with the idea of marriage as the end result. I enjoyed it so much that when my friend Mary really wanted to go to see it tonight up at the wonderfully cheap M-89 I gladly agreed.
Maybe I'm getting to cynical for Romantic Comedies.
