My Husband Made Me Do It Katie Reynolds and Lydea Irwin
-
- TV & Film
Once upon a time, Katie's husband used to travel for work. While sitting alone and bored in hotels and airports, he started watching rom-coms to fill the time. As one does. He started insisting that Katie watch the rom-coms with him when he got home. Sometimes, this was a sweet gesture. He wanted her to enjoy a cute or funny movie with him. Aw. Other times, it was just because the movie was so bad he needed someone else to validate his suffering and suffer too. Enter Lydea, the couple's friend, who finds the forced rom-com watching thing very funny and wants to watch them too for some unknown reason.
Not going to lie, folks, we have watched some absolute duds of movies, but we've watched some amazing ones too. Be prepared for spoilers--in fact, just assume there will be spoilers everywhere--and come join us as we review the rom-coms Katie's dear, sweet husband made her watch.

Emma.
Why yes! We are watching the 2020 film adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma this week! And yes, we were all shocked that Lydea agreed to watch it.

She means well, but she nearly ruins a friend's chance at happiness and fails to recognize her own until it's impossible not to cause hurt feelings. Johnny Flynn (Mr. Knightly) and Mia Goth (Harriet) also star in this sumptuous and beautiful...

Under the Tuscan Sun
We're watching Under the Tuscan Sun this week, and going back to what we're now learning was a fantastic year for the American economy: 2003. No wonder 35-year-old women felt so much more settled than they do today... Seriously, if we didn't know what she looked like and someone told us Frances was in her 50s, we'd believe them. It makes a lot more sense. Frances, played by Diane Lane, is a writer recovering from a recent divorce. She takes the advice of her best friend, Patti, played b...
