My Girlfriend's Boyfriend

Emily and I watched a really good movie lately called "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend". It's an independent film with a really clever story. It's about a girl who is dating two guys, but neither seems to know about the other. The plot sounds a little weird, but it is REALLY satisfying at the end. I wish I could say more about it, but it would ruin the effect if I did and I don't want to spoil it for anyone. When I finally realized what was going on, I had the most amazing "aha" moment and it had me thinking about it for several hours after the movie was over. The resolution at the end was really well done and I thought it was beautifully artistic.

References to Star Wars, My Little Pony, and Charlie Brown made it kind of fun for someone in my generation and I'm guessing it was written by someone close to my age. We watched it last weekend and then watched it again last night. It wasn't as powerful the second time, but it really helped to put all the pieces together. Great screenplay! Good story. And CLEAN! Who knew people could still make clean movies? To be complete, there are a few references to sex in the dialogue that would likely be lost on children, but I didn't think they were nasty.

Check it out. It fits the romantic comedy genre, but it's just a little atypical. It should make you feel good, but it should also get you thinking. And pay attention to the girl's brother. His character has the funniest subplot and the guy's acting is perfect!
