Popcorn, Soda, and Goobers - Movie and DVD Reviews and Film Commentary

This week’s Flick4Friday prompt was: “What movies do you watch to get back on your feet after a breakup?”

Admittedly, I was inspired by the upcoming movie, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which is billed as “The Ultimate Romantic Disaster Movie.” And, I might be breaking Flick4Friday rules here as you won’t be able to watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall this Friday (it doesn’t debut till April 18th), but I had the pleasure of going to a screening recently and have to say that I have not found any romantic comedy to be as funny or uplifting as Forgetting Sarah Marshall. If you’re down in the dumps and looking for something to brighten your spirits, I can think of no better movie to do it with. But, I don’t want to get ahead of myself. A full review will definitely be coming as we get closer to the actual release date. For now, the red band trailer is one of the five rotating trailers in the sidebar to your right. If you’re lucky, click play now. Otherwise, reload the page (it will take at most five tries) or watch the full trailer after the jump.

For those that need a pick me up to curl up to at home this Friday, I recommend Lady and the Tramp (dvd). There’s nothing like classic Disney to bring back the hopeless romantic in all of us.
