What Happens In Vegas

This was a very funny movie which left the audience in tears from laughter. The actors were great together (Ashton Kutcher & Cameron Diaz).

This is a movie about a woman (Diaz) who is dumped by her fiance, so she runs off to Vegas with her friend to "let loose".

At the same time, a young man (Kutcher) was fired from his job, so he and his friend also run off to Vegas.

The two run into each other, get drunk, and get married. While in Vegas, Kutcher put Diaz's quarter in a slot machine and won $3,000,000!!! They fight about who's money it is, and the movie goes from there. I won't give anymore away then that.

A very cute movie, although I must admit I am tired of all the wedding movies out there recently - it's depressing me! ha ha ha

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Would I bring my 6 year old daughter? She went with to the movie with me. Although there was swearing in it (she knows never to repeat bad words), I would maybe think twice about bringing a young one to this movie.

Made Of Honor

I saw Made of Honor last night (April 29). GREAT MOVIE!!! I haven't seen a good love story in quite sometime, so this was a nice film to see. Patrick Dempsy did a wonderful job as did his co-star (I forget her name). Granted it was a spin off of the movie "My Best Friends Wedding" starring Julia Roberts, but was not the same in many aspects...for example Patrick Dempsy is the Brides Made of Honor - humor for even the studliest man. I wish my boyfriend was there to see it with me as it's a great date movie!!!! A must see.

Would I bring my 6 year old daughter? Yes. There is no language and the most naked anyone got was some sexy nighties which kids plainly see as a type of pajamas :)

Baby Mama

This movie is about surrogacy. Of course because I have been a surrogate and plan for another transfer this July, I just HAD to see this. My boyfriend and I won tickets and set off for the theater on April 29. The movie comes out May 2.

This movie stars Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Greg Kinnear, Dax Shepard, Sigourney Weaver and a nice surprise - Steve Martin.

After several attempts at sperm donation, Kate (Tina Fey) goes to a surrogacy group and meets the director of the center, Chaffee (Sigourney Weaver). There she is matched with a first time surrogate, Angie (Amy Poehler). Angie and her boyfriend get in a fight, thus she moves in with Kate. Kate is busy baby proofing the house and working full time for her hippie boss Barry (Steve Martin). This movie is laugh out loud funny! People were laughing through out the movie.

I feel they explained surrogacy very well and were pretty accurate on the details involved such as financial and criminal background check as well as medical history and testing. Surprisingly, Kate asked the surrogate coordinator Chaffee the same questions I get asked by strangers. Chaffee gave great responses.

Would I bring my 6 year old daughter?: Yes. There was no nudity or swearing. Probably not for a child who doesn't understand surrogacy however. I might go over there head to much.
