Rom-Com Review

Love Actually

Happy Christmas (as they would say in the UK)! Ale and Anneka take on their second holiday rom-com with an absolute classic: Love Actually (2003, starring way too many people but IMDB has Hugh Grant and Martine McCutcheon listed as the top stars). While they both love this movie for different reasons, they also tackle what hasn't aged well, which turns out to be a larger category than anticipated. Hopefully this gets you in the holiday mood!

The Wedding Singer

We're back!! After a spontaneous two month break, Ale and Anneka are back with their witty remarks and clever commentary on the movies you love most. What did the two think of The Wedding Singer (1998, starring Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler) - a new movie for them both! Listen in to hear :)

Crazy Rich Asians

Ale and Anneka had both seen Crazy Rich Asians (2018, starring Constance Wu and Henry Golding) once before but were excited to dive back in for this review! This book-turned-rom-com is packed with so many of their favorite rom-com tropes, but does the plot deter them from giving it the high rating we'd expect?

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

*Ale and Anneka choice* While this was a challenging movie to give a rating to, we both enjoyed watching, rewatching, and reviewing this classic early 2000s rom-com. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003, starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey) charmed us, made us question a lot of underlying morals, made us giggle, and, as always, gave us that NYC high.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

*Anneka's choice* Why would we choose My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002, starring Nia Vardalos and John Corbett) to review at this particular moment, you ask? Perhaps it's because we got engaged and are now preparing for our own cross-cultural celebration!! Ale had not seen this movie before but boy is he glad he has now as it quickly became one of his favorites. A true classic, we hope you enjoy our review of My Big Fat Greek Wedding as much as we love watching it.
