Guilty.

My mom, my Aunt Chris and I have started a new monthly get-together. Well actually we did it once and it was funny so I've decided we're doing it every month whether they like it or not.

It's called Guilty Pleasure Night. Wow that looks dirty typed out. It entails bad acting and predictable plots. Lots of times some sort of silly side-kick is involved. Sometimes there is dancing or ice skating. This is called: your guilty pleasure movie. They are the ones you hide when showing your DVD collection, or claim were "a gift".

We were discussing just these types of movies while out to dinner; and Guilty Pleasure Night was born. We went to Blockbuster and Step Up was rented. We watched it and loved it but also hated it. Maybe I watched the final dance scene again after they left my apartment.


step up

So what should we watch this month? Here are some of my suggestions:


fast furious


she's the man


varsity blues


And of course:

the cutting

No Glitter? Possibly one of the worst-best of all time?

merathon said...

maybe we went and saw she's the man after devin's 22nd birthday party and then maybe we had to never rent it again after annie quoted the line where amanda bynes calls some girl a bitch. oops! so put me down for she's the man in your suggestions box.

Oh my gosh, you MUST watch She's the Man. And Laura Fletcher just stole my story about our sister Annie calling someone the b word. And she called someone that at Wal-Mart. The one on Stapley. She could have been jumped afterwards.

Erica said...

Ah yes Glitter! But perhaps it would be TOO bad and therefore not a pleasure?

Oh my gosh, I forgot about Center Stage. Genius.

lol to Annie and the bitch story. And if they were at the Stapley Wal Mart they probably deserved it. That place is the ninth circle of hell.

I vote "She's The Man" since it has that same hottie from "Step Up."

I also vote "Tokoyo Drift" as our 2nd feature.

Maybe after watching "Step Up" Chris and I both went home and Googled hottie for 2 hours.

I proudly declare that I liked Step Up. It was actually a good "bad" movie. I am all for "She's the Man" if it's got Mr. Tatum in it. I think that's basically my only prerequisite for a guilty pleasure--just some hot babe(s) in it. They cancel out all the bad plots, writing and acting.
What else matters, really?

I also vote for She's the Man. And perhaps my friends and went to see it in the dollar theatre. Twice. Channing Tatum did us in.

Excuse me but She's The Man is hilarious. I'm surprised you haven't seen it yet. It's so funny, I might puke.

Heidi said...

Shamefully, I have seen most of these movies, and enjoyed them. How can you forget "Dirty Dancing havanna Nights." I know you like that one Erica, and I actually own it. "Strictly Ballroom" is another good one.

People swear by "She's the Man."

Case said...

i vote Kazamm with Shaquille Oneil (you can borrow it from me if you want).

Case said...

oh and Kenzie has been trying to get me to watch step up from like the first day I got home.
I didn't object...just haven't yet.

I'll admit to a girl crush on Amanda Bynes, my besty and I saw "she's the man" in the theatre. And we're all set to go see her movie that comes out this month, I don't even know what it's called but we're going.

Us and all the other 12 year old girls.

Erica said...

It sounds like we're gonna have to see She's the Man.

And Heidi, yes I saw Havannah Nights in the theater. I am not ashamed.

I LOVE She's the Man.
