Chick Flick
3.5 stars
LOVED IT, despite the sugar coated ending. Amanda Seyfried (Mama Mia, Dear John) travels through gorgeous Italy to help Vanessa Redgrave find her long lost love who she hasn’t seen since she was 15 years old. Along for the ride is Redgrave’s handsome but uptight grandson, played by Chris Egan. Despite Seyfrieds’ engagement to the handsome but absentee fiancée Gael Garcia Bernal (Y Tu Mama Tambien, Motorcycle Diaries) romantic tensions ensue. Even though the previews gave away way too much of the story, I loved it. I loved the romantic tension, Redgrave’s hopeful romantic eyes, and the gorgeous scenery from the cypress trees and rolling vineyards to the cobblestone streets and ancient stone architecture of my favorite country. Yes the ending is too sugary and contrived, but it’s a chick flick so who cares? I loved it!
