Friday, Thanks For Showin' Up!

Day 4 of 30

This week's Friday favorites happens to coincide with today's daily post! 

Today's topic: Favorite movie to watch over and over again without getting sick of it

Again, another long list of favorites, but if I had to pick just ONE (eye roll), I would have to go with Just Friends starring Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart. 

Aside from this movie being absolutely HILARIOUS, I could watch this movie over and over again and never get sick of it because the first time I saw it, I saw it with my mom. We laughed hysterically, and often recall watching this movie while waiting for my brother to finish up band camp for the day. 

The movie makes you feel good, forget about reality for 90 minutes, and tickles your funny bone. It can be classified as a Christmas movie, but can also just be a movie you toss in any other time of the year to feel good. 

The cast alone is superb. You're laughing more than you're just staring at the screen. I don't think I could EVER get sick of this early 2000s classic. The movie will be 13 this year. And is a true testament that most movies can stand the test of time, even after the ideology behind it has long since faded away. 

I think this movie is one of my favorites because it showcases a simpler time. Early in the 2000s, we weren't walking around with our faces in our phones, we weren't checking social media every 3 minutes to see the latest updates. We were COMMUNICATING with our friends and family. We were actually talking to people ON THE PHONE rather than a text, snapchat, or facebook message. We were living life and truly experiencing it. Sure, this was when technology was starting to transition to the cluster f**k we now consider society, but at the time, face to face conversations mattered more than a text/email/vague post to gather attention. 

I know, I know.. Grandma Gato has come to share a simpler time. GET OVER IT. I miss the 90s.
