Please Give

Last night, Alex was working late, so I took myself to see the new movie Please Give. It was really entertaining, and the female characters were hilarious, nutty and perfectly drawn. (Plus, Catherine Keener with her raspy voice is one of my all-time girl crushes.) I'd highly recommend it!

Pin It Now!

i always think Catherine Keener is SO gorgeous! I just saw Where the Wild Things Are and she is just lovely in everything!

Joanna Goddard said...

oh wow, i didn't even know she was in that! now i want to see it :)

Hollie said...

I'm afraid to go to the movies alone because I always fall asleep! I need someone there to wake me up when the movie is over. :]

Ludmila {CreamyLife.com} said...

I guess I'll need to watch this movie too! You seem really impressed, Joanna. xo

Joanna Goddard said...

aw, hollie, that is so cute!

jane said...

Thanks for the recommendation! I loved Rebecca Hall in Starter for Ten... intrigued to see her with an american accent!

Vanessa said...

We always get movies to the theaters so late here in Sweden! And so many lower-budget films don't even make it to the big screen. Being totally movie obsessed, it's a real problem for me... Time to get out of here and move home!

Vanessa said...

Soo...I totally have a girl crush on Keener as well! She's so beautiful in an understated way. Love her, and want to see this movie asap.

Oooooh! I want to see this! I love that you went by yourself (then again, if it was solo, you did have your adorable baby gentleman with you!). Love the new masthead above, too, Jo! Cute! Hugs to you (thinking of you lots as you enter the final days of the pregnancy!) xoxo

Haha,ok I have to go see it now!

I have been hearing about this movie but reviews were a bit mixed. I'm going to take your word for it and go see it! I also love Catherine Keene. If you haven't seen Lovely and Amazing you should check it out. Wonderful movie!

I thought I was alone in my Catherine Keener girl crush. Thanks for letting me know it's not a club of one! Can't wait to see this!
P.S. Don't you love her in Death to Smoochy?!

The French said...

Would love to see this if I can get my butt to the theater. My Netflix just keep on a comin'. It's that damn Mad Men...keeps me from leavin' the house. I want to finish the series and get on with my life!

Ashley said...

I've been wanting to see this! So happy to hear that it's out--and that you'd recommend it. Seems like a rare bit of new interest in a summer of action-packed sequels and remakes!

Charly said...

I wish I could see it. But here in South America films like this one are rarely put in the cinema. I miss NY so much, I live with a forever-broken-heart!!!!

samantha hahn said...

obsessed with Keener. She's my one and only girl crush!!

Her name was Lola said...

. . . I would have gone with you!

{I was trying to get MY Alex to go with me this weekend . . . but he dismissed it as a chick flick! Bummer!} Happy to hear you enjoyed it though.

Cheers.

Melissa Blake said...

You always give great movie recommendations! Has it been released nationwide? Not sure our theater has it yet.

hip hip gin gin said...

I just read a really lovely article about Keener not too long ago, though I can't remember where. She seems like not just a fantastic actress but a lovely woman as well. I'll have to put this movie on my list of must sees!!

A.Kelley said...

I can't wait to see this! Also, Mrs. Jo, I think you should read my post today. You'd like it.

This looks so funny! We don't go out to movies very often because the theaters are so far away and unbelievably expensive. Perhaps I can persuade the husband to see this one though!

Anu said...

I love the scene where grandma isn't able to blow put the candles - hilarious. Hope it will come to German cinemas soon, too. MUST see.

Sweet Freak said...

i am DYING to see this! but it's only out in NY & LA at the moment, right? send some holofcener over to Paris, please!

Your new header seriously just made my day. Max is a genious.

Looks great, and I love Rebecca Hall. I just hope I don't have to wait ages for it to come out in the UK!

Best Wishes, Marie said...
