Foodie Log 22, date February 20, 2011

You know what I love almost as much as food? Romantic comedies!! especially the ones that can give me that "eeeeeeeee"/swoon feeling topped with a goofy smile - the ones that just make me laugh are good too, but the eeeeee/swoon/goofy combo, you can't beat that!

so, for to share with you - I present, don don daaaaaan --> My Girlfriend's Boyfriend
starring the girl from Who's the Boss and Charmed (aka Alyssa Milano), the guy from Popular, Ugly Betty and Covert Affairs (aka Christopher Gorham - who, btw - is a bit of a hutie! a hot, cutie for those of you not "in the know") and that guy from Final Destination 2 (Michael Landes - I'm sure he's been in other things, but I saw Final Destination 2 for like 2 minutes and that's where I remember him from ...)

the movie is about this guy and a girl and the girl's boyfriend - har har - how would you ever have figured that out? but really, it's about a girl who dates two guys who are both cute, charming, caring and all the rest that makes them oh-so-lovable. you get to see the progression of her relationship with each guy and then, thankfully, see who she ends up with (i hate it when movies have that stupid "make it what you will" endings)

not too heavy on the funny, but there's plenty of sugary-cute overload and this line from the beginning got me to keep watching:
"I do not inspire well on an empty stomach"
(yes, movies with food-centricities get brownie points, not to mention that statement is SO true to my life! haha)

it's available on instant streaming on netflix, so hopefully it will not be too difficult for you to find

and, if you are as impatient as i am, then here's the ending for you:
she ends up with her boyfriend (the hutie), there's a good twist at the end, although the twist is foreshadowed in the beginning - so just keep that in mind
