Chick Flicks

          In the movie "13 Going On 30", with Mark Ruffalo & Jennifer Garner, the flick opens with Jennifer Garner (Jena) getting her school picture taken for Jr High. This is a dreaded event for her for two reasons: she is fighting be known by her real name and not the one the photographer keeps calling her, along with her self confidence. She wants to be known as one of the popular girls in school. Her best friend, Matt (who is in love with her and she does not know it), tries to convince her that she is real and not fake/phony like the popular chicks.     
          In the conclusion of this movie, it wraps up with the both of them as adults. They get married in the home she grew up in, fades to them moving into their new home, and ends with the both of them on a couch in the front yard of new home eating candy that they both loved & shared together as kids.


          In the movie "27 Dresses", with Katherine Heigl & Kevin Doyle, it opens with Jane as a little girl at a wedding. She finds herself taking the role of an adult, who has to take her little sister to the bathroom and fixes the brides torn dress. Loving this as a child, she finds herself helping out in all her friends weddings as an adult. Even going as far as doing a dress fitting for the bride. She finds herself always being a bridesmaid and never a bride.
          In the conclusion of this chick flick, she realizes that she is in love with a man that she has been constantly fighting with and not the one she has been longing to be with for years. It ends with her getting married on a beach with a long pier. On this pier, is all her 27 bridesmaids, each wearing the outfit that Jane had to wear at their wedding.
