movie week

So, for our "don't make me call it a Staycation" staying at home vacation this year, we decided to see a movie every day this week.

So far, it's been Mamma Mia, Get Smart, and Space Chimps. Of the three, I have to say Get Smart was the most fun. I was assuming I'd like Mamma Mia the best, but as it turns out, as beautiful as Greece is, and as much as I like both Meryl Streep doing comedy and ABBA, um, yah, no. Not crazy about it, though there were some parts that made me smile. Steve Carrell, on the other hand, just plain seems like the nicest, greatest guy in the world, and I just love every second he's on the screen. Space Chimps? The only thing I can think of to say about that is that Cheryl Hines (much as I love her) has a little too much simian quality about her looks to be doing a chimp voiceover. I'm just sayin'.
