The Weston family are brought back together when their father disappears, having to deal with their drug addicted mother who is suffering from cancer. An extremely dysfunctional family, by the end you will be shocked by how many ways!
Carson Phillips is a young man who was in High School when he suddenly died, so we are seeing his final weeks in flashback form as he narrates on how unhappy he was in his rather mixed up life.
The second musical moment comes from a non-musical film and in the form of rom-com hit My Best Friends Wedding. Which sees a restaurant scene break out into a song in such a lovely way!
I love “My Best Friends Wedding” as you may already know I am a massive fan of Julia Roberts aka Jules in my world. Yet it is quite a strange film in terms of the ending really isnt what you would expect from Hollywood but is it more realistic? In my world yes it is. Its heartbreaking at times but thats life isn’t it. I have probably watched this film more times that people can actually imagine. Quite a few months ago I eventually got round to see “Made of Honor” which I had heard was like MBFW but the other way round. I however have to totally disagree with that and this post will end up in a rant that men always win no matter what the situation is.
Made and released more than 10 years apart really shows the direction in which romantic comedies aka rom-coms have come over the years. That direction is down. Don’t get me wrong some have been quite good like “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “(500) Days of Summer”. But way exactly have I enjoyed these? They have more realistic moments in them and manage to connect to the audience in different ways. Especially (500) Days of Summer it is so realistic and good how throughout the film it reminds us it is not a love story it is a story about love, and showing how different your expectations are in comparison to what reality is.

I have been a fan of Jules aka Julia Roberts, since I can remember. I have just always loved her loads, and still to this day watch her movies over and over, while hoping that she will keep making more movies. Maybe even add more Oscar’s to the one she has as well. That would be fantastic!
To pick this top 10 I based it on how enjoyable the movie is and how much I love Jules character and the acting. So some movies may be missed off because of the enjoyed factor. This is also a difficult list to complete as it quite often changes around.

When Julianne is told by her best friend Michael that he is getting married the up and coming weekend, she goes rather psycho thinking that should in fact be together and getting married!
