    (With tears in my eyes) that was really beautiful. I was going to come here and commend them for successfully misdirecting but now all I can think about is the pain in my heart. Also really good time capsule for the late 90s. I miss being a teenage girl. And again, just destroyed my emotions on a Monday night.

    It’s good to know that no matter how they edited My Best Friend’s Wedding, Julia Roberts would have still been in the wrong. I liked this. It’s warm. Conniving, but warm. I like how there is a clear bad guy treatment here. It’s shot wonderfully too. I am very envious of this wedding weekend and Ally’s mom.

    This has emotionally wrecked me but I can't stop laughing at naan-binary. I love this so much. I've never cried this much for a movie. I'm truly a sucker for good father characters, and Bhatti played the role so genuinely. Gabriel is so lovely. The dialogue is so funny. The drag show was shot so beautifully. The only time I've not objected montages. As a queer person, this annihilated my emotions (compliment). As a movie lover, I'm adding it to my favourites list. Again, crying.
