Cast: Handsome Man, Pretty Woman, Male Bully, Quirky Friend, Benevolent Mentor, Cute Kid
Scene: A tropical island
Pretty Woman: I'm so happy that we're in love and getting married, Male Bully! Because you're so handsome, and I'm so shallow, we're the perfect pair.
Male Bully: Agreed. But we need to watch out for the alien attack that's going to come. I may need to kiss you intensely then run off to my plane or boat or whatever to attack something.
Pretty Woman: Kiss me!
Handsome Man: Ahem.
Pretty Woman: Oh, it's you, Handsome Man who is my platonic friend and nothing else!
Handsome Man: Hey.
Pretty Woman: You're coming to the wedding, right? My wedding, in which I marry Male Bully, whom I love deeply and honestly?
Handsome Man: Whatever.
(Scene 2: Pretty Woman's Kitchen)
Pretty Woman: I know I love Male Bully honestly and deeply, but I can't stop thinking about Handsome Man.

Handsome Man: How do I do it, Benevolent Mentor? How do I let her know I'm the one?

Handsome Man: But what if she rejects me? I can't take that kind of rejection.
Benevolent Mentor: Another beer, please, I can't take much more of this.
Male Bully: Hey, bro! You're my fiancee's best friend, but I'm confiding in you that I cheat on her. Now I'm going to punch you.

I want to see this movie SO BAD. :) I especially love the dancing with dishtowels as it is the main reason my father so hates chick flicks.
How has Hollywood not been knocking down you're door?
Oh, and I'm totallly watching a Lifetime movie right now about a woman who was imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit, gets plastic surgery, and seeks revenge on the man who set her up. That old plotline.
You forgot to explain that it's set in New York City as all chick flicks are.
Sometimes you scare me!
Hee, hee! You should be a screenwriter. :)
Brilliant!
So trite it's a treat, a treat that will leave you screaming, "Two TUMS up!
I love it, but the Disney channel has kinda taken the Lifetime Cliche, banaled it's head in and served it up cold on a Pop Tart.
