Because I Said So (2007)

Don’t waste your time. Seriously, I haven’t been this disappointed in a movie since I paid money to watch Home on the Range with my daughter.

Stars Hollow is an almost surreal little town that is filled as much with charm as it is with its own cast of quirky characters. The two characters you’ll probably first meet when you step into the town limits of Stars Hollow are Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. A mother and daughter team that has lived in Stars Hollow since Rory was just one, the two could as easily be mistaken for sisters as they could offspring and parent. It’s around these two … Continue reading →
