My sister and my best friend and I saw this yesterday
afternoon. It’s not too bad. It had it’s
typical Disney cliches–believe in yourself (and only yourself),
you can always show up the snobs, etc. And some of the over-done parts were way overdone.
I can see that it’d be hard to fit a military plot into a PG movie
without some serious cheesy-ness. But the movie had it’s
redeeming qualities, too. Some of the “sweet” moments really were
sweet, and some of the kids were really good actors. There are
definitely
some mute or skip scenes if the little ones watch it, but Diesel is
better at emotional acting than I thought he’d be. He’s decent at
playing the
soldier-turned-babysitter/bodyguard, who ends up actually caring. Anyone who’s been around children will appreciate
the tough-guy
bachelor-type suffering through his first changing of a dirty diaper,
reminiscent of The Family Man,
and other similar firsts. Of course, they had to fit in fight
scenes, since that’s
what he’s usually best at, but at least they were believable. All
in all, it was enjoyable, the bad parts overlook-able, and Vin
Diesel…well, let’s just say that for the sake of keeping my heart intact and my thoughts
pure, I’ll be careful about how often I watch his movies. Why is
it that I’m attracted to men who seem like they
could kill me with one hand? It’s a good thing he’s only an actor. I guess if I ever run into
a real Navy Seal I’m a goner, eh?

ah, my fellow dieter… how ya feeling today?
heh. you know Sarah, I have a few good men coming to my wedding who can do just that. I would say that I’d point them out to you, but I’m sure you’ll notice the uniforms. unfortunately none of the ones I realy know (and are respectable) are coming, so I can’t recomend any of them… they’ll probably talk to you and sisters anyway. however, if you tell me what you want I’ll keep my eye out in Hawaii for you.
i wouldn’t feel too bad about you and vin, i’ve had the hots for audrey hepburn for quite some time now. so you see, even the best of us can fall into temptation. although in my case i’m a little better off seeing as audrey hepburn’s been dead for 12 years. so i strongly suggest that you find yourself a dead famous person to be tempted by, that way it’s not quite so tempting. well it’s about time for me to be hitting the old dusty trail…
p.s. think about what i said
p.p.s think about it some more
p.p.p.s. actually just forget the whole thing
p.p.p.p.s. or you can think about it if you reeealy want to
p.p.p.p.p.s. uh……i got nothing
Hello Sara! Jonathan here! I like your xanga! LOL

That was not Me! That was my rather “out there” brother that forgot to check and see whether I was signed in or not.
oh supper sounds loverly. i can’t believe you’ve missed the campus police story, sara! i shall certainly tell it to you. a miserable experience but a great story.
Yeah sometimes I gotta make sure that the troublesome McFerrens don’t cause too much trouble. But then again it does make everything more enjoyable.
