I saw a movie!

Valid asked:

Has anyone here seen 'Big Fish' yet? I am curious if it is any good.

My husband and I saw Big Fish a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was really funny. We had not planned to see a movie, but we did want to have an afternoon out without the children, which is something we just never do. So we had this girl in our fellowship come out to the house to babysit. When Anjie got there, we were just making small talk and trying to ease the transition for our 3-year-old. So I asked Anjie what she'd been up to lately. Turns out she'd been out the night before to hear a Latin band and had gone with the band afterwards to IHOP for breakfast and had gotten back to her dorm around 3 a.m. After she had related this adventure, she asked us what our plans were. Umm...we're going to the fabric store to choose fabric for a chair we're having reupholstered, then maybe get something to eat before we come home, we whispered. Well, when we got in the car, we just felt so old and uninteresting that we decided not to come back home until we'd at least seen a movie. So I ran back in to ask Anjie what was playing these days. She recommended Big Fish. We still feel old and uninteresting, but at least we got several good laughs out of this movie!
