Guess Who!

Inspired by yesterdays article about interracial marriage, I decided to watch a movie about this topic as well.

The movie was called "Guess Who" and it was hilarious. My flatmates will probably consider me crazy since I was laughing all the time although I was alone in my room, but do I care? Not really...

The storyline can easily be summarized: Theresa (Zoe Saldana) and Simon (Ashton Kutcher) want to announce their engagement and therefor visit Theresa's parents. The only problem: Theresa is black and didn't tell her family that her boyfriend is white, and this little detail really upsets her father. Of course, he is against this relationship, and tries to manipulate it. When Percy, Theresa's father, finds out that Simon quit his job and didn't tell Theresa, Percy tells Theresa who is very upset and wants to break the engagement.

In short: A lot of turbulences and a happy end after all.

It's a nice movie, in no way demanding, but it offers many good laughs, and of course: Ashton Kutcher is always worth watching a movie ;)

My personal Easter resumee

I survived all of Easters family-gatherings, some were really nice, some were ok, and some... I'll try to forget them ;) Don't misunderstand me, I love each of my family members (or at least most of them) but it's hardly possible to bear all of them in one room and not go completely crazy among them. Especially if you're Birgit, the only girl in our family not married or in a relationship... They probably think that I'm the crazy one, but believe me, it's them who are off their rocker...

I also survived the Easter Fire, and I really would love to tell you about it, but I don't remember too much... All I know is that we had so much fun, I met so many people whom I haven't seen for a year or more, it was really great, and that's all I need to know ;) But i needed entire Sunday plus part of today to recover, but it was really worth it ;)

Today, my cousin and I decided to watch a movie, but: What movie? He's really into action movies, and since I was still really tired, I wanted to see a movie full of beautiful people, romance, fun etc.
No good basis, is it?
So we realised we need a new approach:
I love, no, I adore Brad Pitt.
My cousin loves, no, adores Angelina Jolie.
So what other movie could we choose but Mr. and Mrs. Smith???
Granted, the storyline wasn't too good, but Brad and Angelina really compensated this, and when Adam Brody turned up as well, I definitely fell for the movie. It tells the story of John and Jane who meet, fall in love and get married. In the beginning they seem to lead a rather normal life, but the truth is that they both are professional killers, but they both don't know about the second lives of their partner. At least they don't know about it until John's task is to kill Jane, and Jane's task is to kill John.
From there on, it's a lot of shooting around and lots of black humour, but still: I like the movie, although I'm really not into action movies (unless Vin Diesel is in them). But I liked the role Angelina Jolie plays, this strong, down-and-dirty woman who lives two lives at the same time and furthermore is more than attractive.
Altogether: It's good entertainment, and offers a lot to see for both sexes ;)
