First and foremost, Thanksgiving weekend is a big deal in the movie business. According to a source,"Thanksgiving weekend at the box office is one of the highest grossing weekends of the year for the American film industry."
So, what exactly is the Thanksgiving weekend? Well, it's simply like it sounds, but it's not just the weekend it's actually four days long (usually). In this year's case, it was the four days spanning from Thursday (November 25) to Sunday (November 28). This year, six movies were released on the Thanksgiving weekend. Two of those six were released on Black Friday.
The first four movies that were released on Wednesday, November 24th included Tangled, Burlesque, Faster, and my personal more anticipated one of the four - Love and Other Drugs.
The other two movies that came out on Black Friday are Red Dawn and The King's Speech.
As I mentioned above, the one I am looking forward to watching out of all these is Love and Other Drugs. So, instead of describing and going into detail for every one of these movies, I will talk more specifically about Love and Other Drugs. Love and Other Drugs is a romantic comedy starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway. Anne Hathaway plays Maggie, a free-spirited girl who is the type to not let anything or more specifically, ANYONE tie her down. However, that all changes when she meets Jaime (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) whose charming personality works well with the ladies and the world of pharmaceutical sales as well. As the movie's title entails: "Maggie and Jaime's evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they both find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug - LOVE."
If that wasn't enough to make you want to watch the movie, then here's a trailer of the movie. Watch the trailer and go with a date or with some friends! What's more fun than a cute movie date or a girls' night out!
Anyways, here's the trailer - enjoy! :)
On a little bit of a personal note, I have been dying to see this movie since it started showing the trailers in commercials weeks and weeks ago. However, even though it has already been released, I have been so busy with everything that I haven't had time to go watch it. Many of my friends want to see it too, so I'm sure we can all just go as a big group and hopefully it's as good as I'm expecting it!
