Friday in Review

Javario called me "Miss Neill" today. I said "Javario, it's Miss McNeill." Javario then said "Like, Miss McChicken." I've never tried so hard not to laugh...

The 40 Year Old Virgin is the BEST movie I have seen this summer. Now...Wedding Crashers, Star Wars 3, and The Longest Yard were great, too. But the cast of 40 YOV was "phenomenal" (to quote Jeremy Grey). Steve Carell was PERFECT. He was absolutely hilarious. So were his supporting actors. It just all worked so well together. Plus, it helps when a comedy uses intelligent and extremely witty humor. Our Word of the Day at Joanna this past Tuesday was "clever." And if I thought 40 YOV would be appropriate for my 5th graders to see, I'd say the movie was a great example of "clever." I loved it. It is a MUST SEE. So go see it. You will NOT be disappointed. And if you need a date, just let me know...because I will certainly be willing to see it again.

I want to add some great quotes from the movie in this post, but A) I hate when so many movie quotes spoil the punchlines for people who've yet to see the movie, and B) I honestly can't remember any. Not that there aren't any...there totally are a lot...I just have this thing with movie quotes and song lyrics. I can't remember them after only hearing them once. I have to hear them over and over and over again, and usually from my friends instead of the original artist(s). As a matter of fact, I don't think I'd remember half of the Old School quotes I know if it weren't for David, Chris, Kyle, Adam, and Jake. (Thanks, Guys! Love ya!)
