Ever since I've read the book, which I really really loved, I have been anticipating to watch the movie.
Though the dvd has been sitting on my shelf since May, I've been so busy and caught up with other things.
But....
YAY ! I finally found time to watch the whole movie! hip hip hooray!

Well, in the movie they did change a lot of details.
Holly's family background was changed,
Daniel's not as charming as described,
the way of delivering the letter was different and
there's the whole Gerry's fortress part which I cannot recall any of it from the book.
And, I do not remember that both sides of their families objected their relationship so badly, to the extend of hate. =(
what??
I think I should read the book again.

Gerard Butler was great as Gerry and Hilary Swank was not bad as Holly.
and I never realised how much I liked the Irish accent.
They start speaking and I was like, Ooooo... o.O
*no wonder I loved Westlife when I was younger, didn't realised that I loved them partially due to their accent* hehe

Denise (Lisa Kudrow), Holly (Hilary Swank) and Sharon (Gina Gershon)
Its kinda weird for me that Sharon, Holly's supposedly bestest girlfriend,
was so absent in Holly's life during the movie.
As for Denise, Lise Kudrow made her rock wei!
haha..I really love the way Lisa Kudrow acts.
She brings interesting life to any character, especially as the weird yet oh-so-funny Phoebe from Friends. hehe
Friends would definitely not be the same without Phoebe and her funny comebacks, weird thoughts and actions. haha

Gerry's best mate, Irish William.
Don't really remember him from the book, but he sure makes the movie nicer.

The rude and too straight forward Daniel.
Erghhh, I've imagined him a lot better looking and more classy when I was reading.
But in the movie, he was just ..Eeeeee!
I'm just so glad he did not take Gerry's place with Holly.
There you go.My short review.
Short enough that it won't spoil the movie much,
but long enough to warn about the possible letdowns. =PBy the way, I've also watched
My Super Ex-Girlfriend.

One Word for it?
" Erghhhh "even put the word in revolting green to emphasize the Erghhhhh-ness of this movie.more words to describe it?
cheesy
corny
obvious low-budget effects
a very desperate leading actress/heroine
I've always wanted superhero powers.
but I were to be a superheroine like the cheesy "G Girl" here,
I would rather hide my face in shame and migrate to Planet Deijogpewo, a planet far far away.
Jean from X-Men's powers for me, anytime =P
So...to sum up.
P.s. I love you
watch before reading the book. it would be a lot more romantic if done in that sequence. if you have already read the book but yet to watch the movie, don't put too much expectations in it. but either ways, its a nice movie to me =)
My Super Ex-Girlfriend
I highlighted the title of the movie in Revolting Green, enough said.
