"Kendra" Post 3

This is the most exciting episode if you ask me.  It is the day of her wedding and she is very nervous yet excited and Hank, her future husband, feels the same.  They are having a huge wedding and it’s held at the playboy mansion.  Kendra’s brother walks her down the isle and you can tell that it means a lot to her.  The have every detail planned and the wedding is beautiful.  Kendra actually messes up her vows but it is humorous because it really just shows her personality, fun and carefree.  Her bridesmaids include Holly and Bridget, two former girlfriends of Hefner too.  The reception is with all of her family and friends and everyone has a great time.

Kendra, a former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner, has moved on to bigger and better things. She recently was engaged to Hank Basket a NBA player. They are moving in together and are having a big garage sale to get rid of all the extra things she doesn’t need. Kendra is sort of a pack rat and likes to keep everything, but her fiancĂ© Hank talks her into giving a lot away and she decides to give all the money she raised to an animal shelter. Her friends make plans to get up early and start selling things, but early for Kendra is around eleven o’clock. They finally get everything set up but realize that no one is showing up, so they start to make signs and go around the neighborhood to ask people to come and check it out. By the end of the day there hard work starts to pay off and they get a few customers and they get rid of unneeded things and raise some money for the shelter. I like t his show a lot it is very humorous to see how Kendra and her friends handle certain situations and it keeps my attention.

"Brooke Knows Best" Post 3

Brooke was planning a big comeback in her singing and performing career and was eager to get started.  She was at her first dance rehearsal when she got a shocking phone call.  Her dad, Hulk Hogan a former pro-wrestler, had an incident where his legs went numb and he collapsed.  Brooke hurried to the hospital and had to put her career on pause.  Brooke’s dad went through a painful surgery but was feeling much better after a couple of days.  After Brooke made sure that her dad was okay she was back to work, but only had one day of rehearsal until her big show.   She was extremely stressed and had to work extra hard to learn the performance for her show the next day.  After her dad heard that she gave up rehearsing for her big show to come and comfort him he knew that he had to be there to support her.  That was a big surprise for Brooke and she was very thankful for him and he was as well for her.  She nailed her performance and was relieved that everything worked out.

The Ugly Truth

This movie is about Abby Richter, played by Katherine Heigl, who wants to find the perfect guy.  She is not very smooth and doesn’t know what she is doing wrong.  Abby is a morning show producer, and she happens to watch a segment of a local television show, “The Ugly Truth,” the host is Mike Chadway, played by Gerard Butler, he is a chauvinist who irritates Abby into calling the show and commenting on air.  The next day she finds out that her morning show needs more ratings and her boss has hired Mike to do a segment on their show to boost ratings. 

These two do not start off good.  Abby is a control freak and Mike is disgusting, or at least that’s what they think of each other.  A new guy is about to come into Abby’s life and he is “the man of her dreams”.   She tries to impress him so much that it starts to scare him off until Mike comes to her rescue.   He gives her his advice and to her surprise it actually works.  Their deal is that if his advice helps her get the man she wants then she will work with him happily, but if it doesn’t he agrees to quit the morning show. 

Mike succeeds at helping the ratings of the show, and successfully guides Abby to be exactly what her perfect guy would want.  Mike finds that Abby is actually the perfect girl for him and although they have so many differences they end up together and being happy with one another’s flaws.

This light-hearted movie did not have great reviews, but I enjoyed it.  Critics said it was a formula movie in which boy meets girl and lives happily ever after.  Although this is true, it was humorous and caught my attention from the beginning.  I thought when the cat ran up into the tree was one of the funniest scenes, and when Mike kissed Abby in the elevator was the most romantic scene.  If you enjoy Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses then you will enjoy this movie.  Since this was a “chick flick” most of the people in the audience were female, but there were a few males.  Many in the theater were laughing and smiling and seemed to be enjoying the movie.
