Sometimes fluff is all you need! I don't mind a formulaic hollywood number... it's formula 'cos it works. x

I think after three bubs (and obviously my baby brain ain't going away) that these are the types of movies I like to watch most - that way I am not sitting there asking what's going on or left saying "Huh?"
