Chick Flick
3.5 stars
Pretty good. Alexis Bledel (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) stars as a young twenty-something navigating love and life in New York City. Scott Porter (Friday Night Lights) co-stars as her Wall Streeter love interest and Bryan Greenberg (October Road, Bride Wars) plays a coworker he is mentoring. Andrew McCarthy has a small role as the male actors’ jaded boss. This film had a better sense of realism rather than the usual movies of this age group that usually have perfectly polished fashionable apartments and flawlessly coifed hair. Instead, the characters had cluttered homes and messy, but interesting, lives. No dumb pratfalls, no sugary sappiness – what a refreshing change! My only complaint is Bledel still looks too wide-eyed and awkward to be playing a 20-something (despite the fact that the actress is 28!). I liked it.
