Pride & Prejudice

"I watched my Netflix movie."
"Oh, what was it?"
"Pride and Prejudice."
"And?"
"I liked it. At least he got most of his daughters married off. Even if one of them was a jackass*. I was telling grandma about it and when I told her Donald Sutherland was in it she said, 'He's old!' Your grandma is hilarious."
"I love her so much."
"And who was the actor who played Mr. Darcy?"
"I forget his name."
"He had a way about him. I guess I'm just a sucker for blue eyes."
"Oh really, mother?"

*My mom probably used the word "jerk," but I can't be sure. She also may have said that Keira Knightley is too skinny, but I was really tired.

Marley & Me

"You were wrong about Marley & Me, Mo. It didn't make me want a puppy."
"It didn't? I assumed it would. I haven't actually seen it; I was guessing."
"It was sad and the dog was a handful. I think I like Owen Wilson, but he always looks like his nose is broken."
"That's probably because it has been. It's his face."
"Oh. And Jennifer Aniston was okay. Normally I'm not a fan, but she was okay."
"Well that's good I guess."
"It was sad."
"Yeah, I kind of figured."

Water for Elephants {SPOILERS}

"Mo, you were right about Water for Elephants. It as good, but there was something about Reese that was off."
"Yeah, she had no chemistry with RPattz."
"Yeah, and in the book, they make it clear that August is truly insane, but in the movie he just comes off as sadistic. And I missed the nursing home scenes. I guess it would have made it longer."
"I agree, mom. It was good but not as good as the book, but that's always the way it is."
"Yeah, it's kind of shame. It was good. Didn't you just love Rosie?"
"It made me want a pet elephant. The thing with the lemonade? Brilliant."
"Yeah and she was a lush! Who understands Polish."
"I'm glad you liked it, Mom. Happy Mothers' Day!"
"Thanks, Moey."
