December 18 movie: I'm With Lucy. The final entry in our Bad Buffy night was this chick flick costarring David Boreanaz (Angel), and I must say this was the best of the bunch. We almost didn't watch it but I'm glad we did. The movie follows Lucy through five apparently disastrous blind dates. We're told at the very beginning that she's going to marry one of the men, but we don't find out which one until the very end. Boreanaz plays one of the dates. He's the polar opposite of Angel -- so un-mopey and un-brooding that he seems to have no internal life at all -- and he has awful hair. They lightened it and curled it and it looks frizzy and crunchy and awful. Other dates were Henry Thomas (Elliot from ET), that Scottish guy from Four Weddings and a Funeral who's on BBC America all the time, and two other guys I didn't recognize.
"Chick Flick" is a dirty word in many circles but I enjoyed this a lot. Of the three movies we watched, this is the only one I would watch again & would recommend to others. It was lucky that we watched the movies in ascending order of quality. If we'd watched the best one first, and gone downhill from there, I wouldn't have felt as good about sitting through 3 movies in a row like that.
