Donovans4 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I am taking a dear friend to an all day chemo appointment on Wednesday. She will be hooked to an i.v., so we will be in her room most of the time. I plan to take our portable dvd player and a couple of movies in case she feels up to watching something. So, I need some recommendations for light-hearted, fun, chick flick movies. Nothing sad, please. Thanks! LauraD in MN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Virginia Dawn Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I just saw While You Were Sleeping, it was kind of cute and funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojomojo Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 We just watched "Definitely, Maybe" (romantic comedy). Now even though I cried at parts, I don't think it was all that sad. I cry at everything LOL I loved it :D A little older, but I love How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days - I could watch that over and over. I hope the appt goes well (as well as it can....). You're a great friend for being there with her throughout the appt. Hopefully you can enjoy a couple of good movies together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
