Throwback Thursday: Bad Moms Review

This is kind of a different Throwback Thursday... it isn't much of a Throwback either... this movie came out last summer- but I never saw it until recently. Still haven't finished Season 3 of Friends... and I've seen the first Despicable Me again recently and the Amazing Spider Man movies... but I kind of want to do those reviews a little differently... so Bad Moms!

I didn't just watch this movie either... so I've had a while to kind of think about it. I thought it was a really funny movie. I'm excited for A Bad Mom's Christmas because this is a movie I could watch again and again... it's just really good.

Let's talk about the leads of the movie: Kristin Bell, Mila Kunis and Katheryn Hahn... they all just worked amazingly together. They're all very funny women... I think Katheryn Hahn is better known for being in comedies... she isn't exactly a household name- but she's been in pretty much every movie! And I think they've all been in movies together... Kristin Bell and Mila Kunis were in Forgetting Sarah Marshall together and they had great chemistry. Katheryn Hahn did as well... they just really worked well together and it genuinely seemed like they had a really fun time with this movie!

The movie also went over kind of a lot for a movie... I could almost see this being a tv show. Some Spoilers Here: Mila Kunis finds out her husband is cheating on her, she stops caring about her job, she runs for PTA President or whatever, she befriends some of the other moms that also feel like just being bad moms, she has her relationship with the hot dad... it's a lot for one movie and it keeps you interested in everything. There's definitely a lot of stuff going on.

Christina Applegate was also really funny in this. She reminded me a little bit of her character on Friends... but more uptight. It was just very funny. She's wayyy funnier than she gets credit for. Anything I've seen her in, she's always been super funny. I'm probably most excited about her character in the sequel because she's a lot different at the end of the movie than at the beginning... so that I feel like gives a hint of the sequel maybe... maybe not... idk. I think she'll join the other 3 bad moms and party and cause trouble. Super interested in this sequel!

It was an R rated comedy... so it was pretty raunchy comedy... but still one that you could watch with your mom or sister and enjoy... I watched it with my mom- and there weren't that many awkward moments... so it didn't feel totally uncomfortable.

I also really loved the end credit scene where all the actresses had their moms come in and they talked to them. I thought that was really sweet and very funny. Those were really their moms and it was just a really good way to end the movie. I hope that they have them in the sequel talking about their Christmas traditions or something. It was pretty cool!

That is everything I have to say about this movie... hope you guys like this review! I recommend checking it out!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
