FINALLY! "Bernie" is a movie worth watching

Bernie (9) got me back to the theater. Glad I went (for a change.)

Vicky Christina Barcelona


Rating:  7 out of 10

Starring:  Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall, Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, Patricia Clarkson

Genre: Mature Audience, Romantic Comedy


Very watchable movie directed by Woody Allen, described by one critic as the "last living hippie".

Two young American women are spending the summer in Barcelona and meet up with Spanish lothario (Bardem) who invites them for a threesome trip over the weekend.  The two women have different ideas about love and commitment.  Not surprisingly, old-fashioned "bourgeois" ideals get flushed down the toilet, and young American businessman is described as "dull" when he takes dim view of alternatives to all the traditional stuff.

All in all, movie is fun, even for those of us who would qualify for the "dull team".
