But I love it!

I wish I liked it.....but I couldn't stop laughing. I know the music like the back of my hand and I know who the major actors are....the history of it, all that. But the movie itself just made me laugh, and not in a good way. My husband was all game....being nice and not complaining. I was whining like a baby, groaning and finally had to turn it off.

I'll have to try it again.....possibly without my husband....my daughters might like it. We were going to watch it with them last weekend, but didn't do it. Maybe next weekend. If I can keep my eyes from rolling....does it get better after twenty minutes?

And now that I'm done with all my auction crap for the night, and if I can drag my husband away from the Happy Days reunion thing on ABC.....we'll head upstairs and watch Psycho or Schindler's List or From Here to Eternity. If he won't come upstairs.....I'll watch From Here to Eternity. Alone. How sad is that???
