When The Cinnamon Girl and I travel, we like to download and watch movies that take place in the cities we’re going to visit. Most cities have movies set in them or, at least, most cities to which we travel do.
I’ve been traveling a bunch with my wonderful new job and I’ve had a lot of opportunity to play this game, but, this week, I got to play it with The Cinnamon Girl as we both had conferences in Boston!
There are many, many choices to watch when flying to Boston and, while we love The Town and Fever Pitch, we’d just recently seen them both, so we dug a little deeper into the archives. The Departed was an option as well, but we wanted to go with a comedy and a classic we’d not seen in a very long time.

So, we like romantic comedies. We like Chris Evans. I am not in love with Anna Faris, though she’s become a little more appealing as she learns from Allison Janney on Mom. This movie wasn’t terrible. It had its moments. It’s just very uneven. When it’s good, it’s a pretty solid romantic comedy. When it’s not good, it’s pretty unwatchable. Would I recommend it? Most likely not, however, it does feature Captain America, the Falcon and Star Lord… so it’s got that going for it!

Oh, man, this is a MOVIE. Paul Newman is simply wonderful as broken down lawyer Frank Garvin. The walls are closing in on him throughout the entire movie and Newman makes his audience feel the push. What a great way to spend a few hours – with an actor on the top of his game. I don’t know that they make movies like this very often anymore. The last movie I saw that was anything like this was Michael Clayton, a movie that was so good, I’ve never watched it again.
