i laughed, i cried, i whipped

so, we finally got whip it and i totally loved it. i'll have to reread your blog to see why you didn't, but here's my list of reasons i loved it, in no order:

1. that zebra shirt. i looked all over etsy for the perfect zebra shirt about a year ago and ellen page had it all along.

2. andrew wilson. i wonder if he wants to be an actor or just doesn't worry about it.

3. maybe. or whatever her real name is. i've loved her since state of grace or whatever that show she was on before arrested development.

4. they didn't win. i never played anything before ping pong in kazakhstan, but it's hard to win. you have to give so much of yourself and focus so completely, and you have to better than everyone else. and, it's hard to lose because it's heartbreaking.

5. j. lewis's speak about age. maybe it's because i'm 30 and not totally happy with my life, but i love that she didn't start until she was 31 and now she's 36 and still sexy, powerful and going strong. i think that needs to be addressed in movies because not everyone who's 30 is married with kids and totally boring/normal.

6. that e. page let the boy go. i love that he probably didn't cheat on her, but not calling was enough to let him go and she had the strength to let him go, even though he's totally cute. and, the heartbreak brought her closer to her mother.

7. that they wore the same stuff a lot. that's pretty real.

8. that the team went from not caring to caring and succeed when they cared. it's brave to care because you're putting yourself out there and can get really hurt. razor always cared and i loved it when the team decided to join him.

9. it was funny. i laughed out loud. i can't totally remember why, but i know it happened.

so, there they are, i'm going to read your post.
