I’ve only see a couple episodes of the TV series, but I know enough to know who is who. I liked this movie but I have a feeling I would have loved it even more if I had watched every episode. You know when you get attached to characters enough to really feel for them?

For instance, if I watched a Naruto movie without watching and learning the in-depth character build-up of all the characters, I would probably think the movie was crap. Seriously…Naruto movies are pretty dull if you don’t know the characters or the backstory (what are those hand signs? what’s chakra? why does that Naruto kid turn red and look like a fox? what? this three-man team used to have a different kid in it?). This is kind of like that, except the movie was actually good enough that you didn’t need to know them that well and still enjoy it.

I wish I had friends like these that I could reeeeally be comfortable with. And I mean girl friends, because I do have guy friends that I’m comfortable with. It’s not that my girl friends are bad, because they aren’t. They would be totally open if I could just be open enough. So…it’s just my problem I guess. Hard for me to open up to girls. Can you blame me though? Most girls are vindictive, dramatic, calculating, manipulative, and can’t keep a secret. And I say that because I know I can like that too…and I’m a girl. I’m not like that…but I can feel the nature of it in me. I have the thought, but my personality lets it go.

This was supposed to be able the movie right? I’m having a spacey day today.

My favorite girl is Charlotte. She has a pretty perfect life and she probably lives vicariously through her friend’s wild stories. She’s also very cute (personality) and a great friends. The way she is with Carrie breaks my heart. I cried during that car/bouquet/hugging scene (see how I did that? you can’t really tell what I’m talking about if you didn’t watch it. No spoilers here!).

There is a wonderful montage in the film during New Year’s and this song plays in the background. It is absolutely lovely and Auld Lang Syne should always be sung this way from now on. Click to listen…I love it. I’m going to play it all year round.
