Review of Freaky Friday (DVD)

lizzie in italy

Advantages: good story
Disadvantages: none

...this film before i saw the Lizzie Maguire series, and i loved the film. It was full of many catchy songs which i will be singing for a long time to come. I felt that the performance of Hilary Duff (Lizzie) was especially well. The location of the film was absoultely breath-taking. Well...It is Rome. I liked the idea of this teenager being put into a different culture and having to 'do as the Romans do', with a twist. I loved the way that she was ...
...for the family as my parents absoultely love this film. It's full of humour and also just dreams coming true. The unthinkable becoming real. This is indeed what dreams are made of. I hope you enjoy this film as much as i have. Defiantley a girly teenage classic! ...

The Triplettes of Belleville

Advantages: Freeview
Disadvantages: Not in English much

The wedding of the year 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding'

Advantages: Fun, nice story
Disadvantages: Predictable

I first watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding a few years ago and although it hasn't become one of my favourite films, I do still watch it from time to time. The film first came out in 2002 so has been around for quite a while now. The story of the film is based around a character called Toula Portokalos (Christina Eleusiniotis). Toula is from a greek family, who take the traditions of their culture very seriously. Her family own a resteraunt called 'Dancing ...

One day Toula decides to do something about her life and signs up to a college course. It isn't easy for her to persuade her Father Gus (Michael Constantine), but her Mother Maria (Lainie Kazan) manages to help her. Once she has started the course she starts to feel more confident in herself and decides ...

There are four previous releases of his stage show, all recorded at the Bloomsbury Theatre in London over time from 2005 until this year.
