Fools Rush In (1997)

Watching this for a second time reminds me how very 90's it was. Vegas and the clothing have both come a long way since then. Still a fun take on what happens when two cultures collide after falling in love.

The Sweetest Thing (2002)

I gave this one a second viewing recently. Before there was Bridesmaids, there was The Sweetest Thing. It’s a raunchy girl’s comedy where Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, and Selma Blair are given free rein to be as bad as they want to be. The script is fast and loose, including some borderline fantasy montages that skew away from the main narrative. There’s a lot of comedy thrown against the wall. Some of it sticks, some of it doesn’t.
