girly movie night

so the premiere screening of confessions of a shopaholic was on tonight & it's fair to say that everyone had a better time than expected.
our last premiere - bride wars, was an awesome movie and the goodie bag hit the right spots. some of us were skeptical this time, that we might receive the same goody bag and the movie may be mediocre. i'm glad that neither was true.

so i picked up annie after leaving ben's house in the afternoon and we headed into the city to pick up jenna. thank god it was a public holiday today. last time the traffic was horrendous, we went from spencer street to kings street in about 30 minutes. yuck.
we headed to victoria gardens and to our surprise arrived at 6pm. the movie didn't start till 7pm, so we decided to get some food whilst waiting for trang and lynh to both come from their respective boys houses.

aiming to get a "proper" meal we decided to go into a little cafe instead of mcdonalds or subway.
ordering a chicken parmargiana (parmasana to some :P), a chicken caesar salad and some drinks we sat and chat. then groaned about how our food was taking too long. then chatted, then groaned some more. after what seemed like a forever wait - our meals arrived. jenna shared with both me and annie - as she didn't want to fill up because, as usual her man was waiting at home with dinner *smiles* SO SCHWEETTT. trang came and joined us 10 minutes before the movie was about to start, and lynh right on the dot. talk about close baby duck!

the movie was so good. lots of laughs & isla fisher is pretty adorable - she does us aussie's proud, and with a good (fashionable ?) wardrobe. i expected their to be a bit more labels thrown around though, but the movie held alotta story line, which is a change. a good change.
my favorite scene is the festival dancing. HI-LA-RIOUS. if i could, i woulda ROFL. instead i RAIMCL (Rolled-Around-In-My-Chair-Laughing).
there were so many other scenes i loved - like the fighting over the pucci boots - the frozen emergency credit card. oh and i LOVE the purple dress she buys.
overall the night was great. good company, great laughs and a good ol' chick flick.

i would recommend the movie to anyone, it ain't just a chick flick. there was an old man in the back row who seemed to LMAO more than once on allota occassions. take a look at the trailer:
