Marty and I are trying to go on a weekly date night. We decided this week Tuesday would be best because babysitters are easier to come by! We have been wanting to see Young Victoria for months, but things just have come up and we missed the show. It has been just down the road at the Broadway, but last night the only theater that had it playing was in West Valley! So we made a night of it! We went out to Hobby Lobby (a glorified Michael's) and browsed the aisles. I needed to pick up a few things for the bathroom revamp and Marty was such a good husband to admire the plethora of crafts, home goods, seasonal decor and so on! After we left the far west of Hobby Lobby we drove in a few miles to our designated theater! It was great! It was "Stimulus Tuesday" so we got dollar popcorn and dollar drinks! And we may or may not have downed nachos and jalapenos! We were the only two in the whole theater! Marty kept talking really loud and making me laugh!
Now to the film. We love our costume dramas but I dare say this was a TEN! We had heard it was good and I promise you it is! Worth driving to West Valley to see it in the theater! It was filmed beautiful! Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend were perfectly cast and the feelings of love it portrays are emotional, heart warming and familiar. The only thing negative about the film, was its length. It was too short! Could have been an hour longer! After we left I told Marty I was born in the wrong century and int he wrong country! This was my kind of genres!
Candygraham gives it 4 stars! I'll see it again with you if you need someone to go to West Valley with! It is a bit sketchy out there!
