Valentine's Day - 4.5/5 You knew it was a Garry Marshall film from the first few seconds with the voice over! (Also be sure to watch the credit roll for another GM wink). Somehow all these people all make it work. Very enjoyable. Kind of cool to see the reunitings of Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Garner, Topher Grace and Ashton Cooper, Hector Elizando and Julia Roberts...
Outsourced - 3.5/5 After so many losers and sort of a slow new release schedule, I checked Netflix's recommendations for us. Not bad! Obvious cultural differences make up the brunt and comedy of the movie, but it is also somewhat educational and touching at the same time.
The Ramen Girl - 4/5 Another Netflix-suggested indie for us. Definitely not Cup O'Soup! If you watch the deleted scenes afterwards, you'll definitely get more background and even an added storyline. (Though I prefer the finished movie, the deletions were a little dark.) I think this was Brittany Murphy's last movie, albeit it went directly to DVD. A head's up - most of the movie is in Japanese, with subtitles.
