(Is this movie the passing of the mantle from one sexy British heartthrob to his successor?
Anyway, back on topic!
or, Wow, youre in your 30s?
Shouldnt you be at home sucking on Werthers Originals?
Id kind of forgotten it had a plot.
Now that Ive rewatched it, though?
I should flag here that Im absolutely not saying the film doesnt have major problems.
Ive certainly spent a lot of money on therapy for that very reason.)
I like partying as much as I did in my 20s.
I have a history of situationships with some of the very worst people in the world.
Thats what the movie made me think about when I watched it this time around.
(Although, obviously, it did go on to contribute to those problems.)
But it wasnt just the aughts, was it?
That famousBarbiemonologue about all the pressures women face these days wouldnt have gone so viral if it was.
Bridgets anxiety still feels relatable now.
Its just that our generations better at hiding it.
