Advantages: An easy chick-lit read Disadvantages: Slightly implausible in places
Despite working in quite an academic field and considering myself more intelligent than my hair colour would suggest, I love a good chick-lit novel! I've read all of Adele Parks'other books and consider her the best author in the genre - her books draw you in with their clever plots and well-developed characters, and I've found all of them totally addictive. So I was very keen to read this new one, 'Tell MeSomething', which published in Jan 09.
The cover is typical modern chick-lit, with a sexy photograph featuring some desirable shoes and the title in swirly pink writing. I got hold of this from a book-swapping website, but it's available on Amazon priced £3.86.
I have to say I was underwhelmed initially, after the first couple of chapters.
I'm always a bit ambivalent about books set in foreign countries as sometimes it seems ...
Advantages: friendship flick Disadvantages: 80s fashions, drug use, swearing
look grown up, they give each other love bites. No comment.
This is when the film took a bit of a turn for me. They get to the party and there?s a few guys there who are into drugs and Marina is soon being injected. I have to say I didn?t really like this, (OK I admit it, I'm a prude!) and obviously if you do watch this film and you have kids around, this isn?t one for them. At the same party, Holly finds herself in bed with Nat. Marina comes round from her drug induced haze and sees them together, and inevitably they argue.
Fast forward again to 1982 ? Nat?s in love with Isobel and moves abroad for a while. Marina sports rather nasty blonde hair with black roots and wears long jumpers and invisible skirts. Both girls are at uni and both fancy their tutor, Daniel (Kyle Maclachlan). He ends up bedding both of them with both ...
Advantages: Celia Imrie's always good value Disadvantages: Incredibly bland
maudlin string arrangements when things are sad, indie guitars that give it a mid-nineties sensibility and a louder one in a belated attempt to add excitement when events are hotting up. The soundtrack is similarly predictable, though there is at least a wedding reception on which one can blame the cheesy strains of "D.I.S.C.O.", "The Look of Love" and Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Right Round". But its use of "Imagine Me and You" is criminal.
"Imagine Me and You" wants to be thought daring merely because it places a same-sex relationship centre stage. But the mediocre script, ordinary direction and distinctly average performances betray it as little more than yet another middle-brow rip-off of Richard Curtis' chocolate box pretty Middle England. The fact that the central relationship is a lesbian one is merely a gimmick that is pretending to ...
