I just saw a preview for a movie called "the sisterhood of the traveling pants" Which by the way as a title that makes me think of Annie and her very famous (at least on hatrack) pants.
Anyway, the narrator said it was a movie "that mothers and daughters can see together" If that isn't code for "If you are male, don't see this movie" I don't know what is.

What I don't get is why the voice-overs are always always male, even for such a feminine movie. I think the first company to try this will startle a lot of people.

Guys don't notice the voice-over of chick-flick previews because we immediately lose interest and start playing with the popcorn until something explodes on the screen.

Then you have the fact that a woman with a deep, theatre sound system destroying voice isn't all that attractive. It's probably not all that healthy for that matter.

I think the thing is that irrespsective of gender, a masculine voice is prefered. Authority and strength, that sort of thing.

I think Bewitched will be ok. I've enjoyed several of Nora Ephron's movies. (My Blue Heaven, When Harry Met Sally, and Sleepless in Seattle.) Posts: 4116 | Registered: Apr 2002

The reason they have a seven-foot-tall man who's been smoking since childhood is because it's practically traditional. Everytime I see a trailer with this voice I crack up. Everytime I see a trailer which (shock horror!) doesn't, it makes me want to see the attached movie.

One thing going for males: the film features Alexis Bledel, and Amber Tamblyn, both of which are hawt.

One time when I was backstage during our fall play I was really bored and one of the girls on stage left a book on the ground. I am a compulsive reader so I picked it up. It just so happened to be The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I read about a third of it before I had to go on stage and liked it. Plan to read the rest of it but don't really want to see the movie. Looks like a complete chick flick.
Oh no just admitted I want to read The Sisterhood of the Traveling pants...Um..How about those bears? Posts: 832 | Registered: Jan 2005

And I can't understand calling Alexis Bledel hawt. I mean, she's pretty, even beautiful, but she's too cute and innocent to be hawt. Of course, I'm not a guy.

Having read all three books (and liked them), I can't help but put the story in the same category as Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood or that other movie that involves four girls--Now and Then, maybe? So guys who don't like chick flicks will probably hate it, but I think it will be decent. I think Amber was well-cast, but I don't know enough about the others to decide.

And I freely admit to falling in love with characters over the actresses who portray them.
I would climb mountaints for Natalie Portman's Sam (Garden State), Scarlett Johansson's Charlotte (Lost in Translation), and Alexis Bledel's Rory (Gilmore Girls).

Rory is a nice girl, but Lorelai, now THAT's a woman.
America Ferrera was great in Real Women Have Curves. I hope her role is a solid one and not just as some lame comedy relief.
