Last week's movie choice from my New Year's Resolution Movie List is all thanks to Netflix! I went for an 80s movie that might be the most 80s of them all!

I'm a big fan of the movie Dirty Dancing and I've seen it about 384 times, which is why Netflix suggested another movie for me to watch that's kind of similar (but not really):

When I say that this movie is the most 80s movie I've ever seen, I really mean it. The music, the fashion, the dancing, the dialogue, the glitter... everything was just SO 80s.

There are a few things I loved about this movie. For example, the dancing. I loved all the dance scenes, especially the one in the beginning where Alex pulls a chain that comes out of NOWHERE and is doused with water. What even WAS that?! I don't know why or how it happened, but I knew at that moment that the movie would be very entertaining. I also loved the music selection and Alex's character. She was so blunt and unladylike, she reminded me a little bit of myself. Some of the things she said made me laugh out loud, even though they probably shouldn't have. The best line was, "I BROKE YOUR ******* WINDOW!" Priceless.

And now, here are the things that made me say, "WHAT am I even WATCHING right now?!":

  • The scene where Alex finally goes on a date with Nick was so strange to me. These people have known each other for like 5 minutes, and she takes him to see her friend ice skate (how did that fit into the story, by the way?). Then they pick up a pizza, go back to her "warehouse," she takes off her bra, and then he tries to leave. She stops him by saying, "don't you want any pizza?" and in this case, "pizza" actually means "sex." And then they do it. After a 12 second date. Uh... what?!
  • My favorite scene has to be when Alex and Nick are out gallivanting around in random buildings (after dating for like 2 days), and Alex randomly starts getting all emotional and crying about something totally cheesy. Nick comforts her by wiping her tears, and then reaching his HAND in her SHIRT and grabbing her breast! WHAT?! And THEN they start making out! Men, I don't suggest trying this tactic as a way of comforting your crying spouse. This is only something that could work in a bad 80s movie.
The whole movie was filled with random scenes and cheese dialogue, but I will admit that I was very entertained. I'd totally watch it again.

If you have any suggestions for a movie I should watch this week, let me know in the comments!
