I'll Be There For You!
20 August 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This is not necessarily a "chick-flick", it is a funny movie thanks to Amanda Peet and Ashton Kutcher. These two have fantastic chemistry together - they let each other shine without burning out the others' light. Oliver and Emily meet by chance on a flight and through the years they run back to each other for comfort in various times of need. Oliver goes off to Seattle to open his big business adventure and ends up in bankruptcy. He moves back home with his family to restart his life, then he walks by a gallery and finds the photo that Emily took of him and her on the rock that night in the park. It is a great moment for him to realize how much he is in love with her. He shows up at her doorstep, guitar in hand and is singing the Bon Jovi hit classic 'I'll Be There For You' (which I will add that Ashton can actually sing a decent note!) The classic moment that seals their fate was when she comes to his parents home and what she thinks is his wedding, she turns around and walks right into the glass door - HYSTERICAL! Oliver then chases after Emily and she is feeling confused, hurt and thinks it is too late but alas, it is Oliver's Sister's wedding not his....Oliver kisses her in the very romantic way to steal your heart...The first time I watched this movie, I thought for sure they were together in real life, that is how much their chemistry worked :-)
