Love and Other Diasters

I just finished watching Love and Other Disasters, a British movie from 2006. As you can see, it stared, Brittany Murphy. It's a pretty cute movie, and it made me laugh.

Two things I felt like pointing out (and the reason for this blog post) were that 1) Orlando Bloom has a scene at the end of the movie w/ Gwyneth Paltrow; he does not have a major role, like it said in the description. That's not why I decided to watch it, but nevertheless, I was a little disappointed. Shame on you Netflix. 2) Brittany Murphy starts the film w/ a British accent and drops it about 10 minutes in. We learn that Emily "Jacks" Jackson, Murphy's character, had a British father and her mother was Spanish, but Jacks grew up in American. So why the British accent? One of Jacks favorite movies is Breakfast at Tiffany's. Maybe she's supposed to be like Audrey Hepburn?

The movie also had a very strong Emma and/or Clueless vibe, but seeing as I like those movies (and Emma the novel), it's all good.
