My Comment:
I've seen this movie twice, and I am still excited to watch it. It's exciting to know the idea to collaborate magical fairy tales to a real life situation. And I'm satisfied. Like usual, Patrick Dempsey is a hot dude, and he really looked very young in this movie. Just like other disney's movies, it also delivered nice arranged soundtracks by Alan Menken. Moreover, Amy Adams and James Marsden could sing brilliantly. Recommended.

My Comment:
It's funny how you could decide marrying a guy by only 2 days be-acquaintanced. Nice story though, despite this movies was just another ordinary romance story, nothing special. However I could see the beauty of Ireland and feel the present of friendly people in it. Even though the ending was predictable, still it amused me.

My Comment:
Despite of the ordinary plot, Melissa Leo and Christian Bale grabbed oscars for their performance. I must admit, I was surprised by Christian Bale with his appearance which was stunning. However, I still don't know why this movie got nominated for best picture. It was so ordinary compared with other nominated movies. Overall, it's only good but not extraordinary.

My Comment:
It's wonderful...
Food is the most delightful thing in our lives..
French cuisine represented it very well...

And definitely going to make some from the recipes
