I love it love it love it. I'm going to buy it. Maybe marry it, I love it so much.

A snippet:

"How was school today?"

"Only like the worst day of my LIFE!"

1. I'm going to bake you a delicious sea bass!
My husband took one of his daughters to it. He thought it was so funny that he dragged me to a showing later that same day. It is worth seeing.

2. I haven't seen it yet...
Is it good enough to buy before seeing it? You know what kind of humour I like, BB. ;)

4. Well it's very very different from AbFab.
It's pure-D DORK humor all the way. It's not silly, it's very earnest. And that's part of what makes it so great. How they did some of those scenes without busting a gut laughing I don't know.

Rent it first.

6. It's like NO other movie I've ever seen.
It's not a high-action kinda flick. It's.....offbeat. Very offbeat. And amazingly endearing. But then I have always had a thing for dorks, being the Dork Queen myself. All the furnishings and clothing are horrible, kitchy stuff. It's like this little town in Idaho is stuck in 1980. The soundtrack is even this awful bowling alley keyboard stuff. But you can't help but love it.

This'll give you a feel for it. It's from the official website for the movie:

7. I'm gonna buy it!
I've got too many gift certificates from Best Buy that I don't know what to get with! :)

Thanks BB!
