I have realized that I really enjoy shows which depict the friendships and relationships between women, even when they are exaggerated (see Desperate Housewives). The best part of this movie was how the friends are seen talking about one another, with their husbands or with the other friends, when one of them isn’t around. *http://www.blogger.com/profile/14947785851008716846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975121.post-1144855155160991292006-04-12T10:17:00.000-05:002006-04-12T10:19:16.220-05:00This guy lived in my building.
