Mainstream Movies

I'm not a big fan of mainstream comedy but occasionally one will take my fancy. As you can see, though, the list is rather slim:

Bend It Like Beckham

Quirky feel-good culture-clash comedy about an English-born Indian girl wanting to play recreational soccer...against the wishes of her immigrant parents. 

Incidentally, "Beckham" was the breakthrough movie for a young, skinny Keira Knightley. 

Clueless

Alicia Silverstone in her one great role as Cher, teen do-gooder extraodinaire, who finds Love in the last place she expected. Colorful  and littered with tight, snappy, mid-90s teen-speak, Clueless still holds up fine as a rare thing, a teen movie with brains.

Indiana Jones

Some thoughts on the Indiana Jones trilogy.

The 40 Year Old Virgin  

Tragic miswriting and miscasting of the female lead hamper this otherwise pleasantly dirty little foray into the minds of contemporary men. A must-see for any dating-age woman, at least for educational purposes.
