It is very rare for me and Mr Big to sit down and enjoy a film together.
Until recently, frankly we didn't get the time uninterrupted for long enough as a certain Baby A was either not yet in bed, or was in bed but was waking up a lot and therefore one or the other of us was constantly tending to her.
Now we have a proper structured bed time routine, you would think the problem of enjoying a film together would have gone away. Except now we can't agree on what to watch. You see an average film is approx an hour and a half at a guess. Post baby, that is now a serious investment of time. So neither of us wants to watch something mundane, mediocre, or worst of all, that we don't like.
As we both have different tastes in our film choices, let the battle of wills commence.
That was until, believe it or not, we saw Bridesmaids. No one was more surprised than me when Mr Big brought this back from the local DVD shop. I'm sure most of us would be forgiven for thinking with a name like Bridesmaids, it would be a chick flick.
Clearly I am way out of touch.
Think 'Hangover' equivalent for girls. Well kind of. Albeit it is not entirely focused on the events of the hen party. But it is very funny. So much so that the boys laughed as much if not more than the girls when we watched it with our friends.
So, if you want an evening's entertainment you can both enjoy, this gets my vote. Essentially girls behaving as they really do but don't want to either admit to, or let their men know about, and hammed up a bit for film, and there you have comedic viewing for both sexes.
Here's a link to a trailer on You Tube - for once, the film is in my opinion much funnier. Gotta love Megan - especially Megan.

Enjoy.
That's my top tip for today :)
