33. Riding in Cars With Boys (2001)- Penny Marshall

Riding in Cars With Boys Trailer

As much as I love Drew Barrymore, she was just really, really...uh, bad, in this predictable comedy/drama. She always makes the same facial expression and always uses inflection in her voice to convey emotion. All of this is great, except she does it in every role.  I think the concept of this  movie was interesting. A Young girl in the 1950s with über conservative parents, who swears she won't get pregnant...until she does, all told in flashbacks. Brittany Murphy is pretty funny and charming as the slightly promiscuous best friend who should've gotten pregnant. I don't know what it is about this movie, but I can't recommend it. It tried too hard to be funny, sad, and real, but missed the mark.
