Scribbles About Movies: My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2

I knew before I saw this I would like it... and I know it got bad reviews and its not going to win any academy awards or anything... but I've had a kind of rough week, and this made me smile, laugh and even tear up a little for about an hour and thats all that matters right? I don't think I've ever left a movie with so many people with smiles on their faces and in a cheerful mood as this movie... and that's what you have to think about while seeing a movie.

So some of why I like this movie so much is the same as why I didn't like fuller house. I loved the first movie, and I loved the familiarity of the old characters and the additional characters too. A lot of the jokes were the same as the first movie... but they were different enough to kind of have a new spin. It was fresh and nice and funny. I liked the beginning where Gus was picking everyone up and they all lived next door in some greek-themed house. It was funny.

It wasn't as good as the first movie really, but it was a lot funnier. I thought there were non stop laughs. All the critics I've heard saying that it was all cheap laughs... I didn't really think so. I thought everything was worthy of a lol. I laughed out loud a lot throughout the movie. I thought it was all relatable and funny. The college fair was funny... I liked that Aunt Voula was trying to get her step count up. I thought the Alexander the great thing was funny and that all the kids sounded exactly like Gus.... it was just really funny.

And I liked the montage at the end... I don't want to go too much into it, but it showed Toula's Parents together, Toula and Ian together and Paris (Toula and Ian's daughter) with her prom date... and that was really sweet and I loved it. Particularly the Toula and Ian part I thought was nice... it was sweet. And then at the end there were more sweet moments and it was just a fun movie!

So if you're looking for something fun to see, and you liked My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and maybe you have a crazy family... you'll love MBFGW2! I loved it, I think Nia Vardalos did a great job... and I'm a fan. I thought it was cool!

Byeeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
