-She's All That (1999)
-Was choreographed by Adam Shankman in two hours last minute.
-The Wedding Planner (2001)
-13 Going on 30 (2004)
-The cast practiced for over five hours performing the dance.

“On Bill Hader’s coverage, nobody was dancing but he had to react as if we were, so I surprised him and full out did the dance for his reaction shot. And you can see him getting emotional. It was really sweet. It’s something that I will never ever forget.”
Love Actually (2003)
“He had planned where he turns and what goes where, so the fact that he didn’t want to do it didn’t mean that he didn’t prepare for it.” (Richard Curtis on Hugh Grant)

2. Bridget Jones’ Diary (2001)
-Having her in her underwear was a last minute addition, and Renee thought it would be funny.
3. Never Been Kissed (1999)
-The actual filming wasn't great during this scene b/c Drew was sick and the pressure to do this well, but with good editing and score it worked.

Plus the original she started with was so cute! Annie Potts should’ve kept it
it stands out and i agree with the costume designer that andie had to have an unconventional dress that looked like she could've made it.
it's still ugly, but it's ugly in an interesting way. and it's an iconic costume that people wear for halloween.
and even in the above pics it legit looks cute to me. like every time i see it it looks better.
i used to dream of being a costume designer and the designer of pretty in pink also did pretty woman.
she's my idol. both films have distinct costumes that always feel fresh.
in an interview she said she stood by the pretty in pink prom dress. and she said the most difficult costume in her entire career was julia robert's hooker outfit. every piece was one off, and she was terrified that the costume would get makeup on it b/c the kimono jacket was already falling apart.
it's a truly iconic look. like maybe top 10 of all time. it's hooker but fashion
There will never be another teen movie dance scene as iconic as She's All That.
Classic tbh!
Maybe it's due for a re-watch.
the scene in this film was sweet lol.
Learn more about LiveJournal Ratings in FAQ.
also i loved the holiday so so sosososososo much. definately maybe i enjoyed a lot. she's the man was EPIC as well but should have ended with viola/olivia getting together tbh their chemistry was off the CHAINS
And also might need to re-watch Trainwreck?? That clip was really cute, I mean the humour at the end I could've done without but yeah.
Hugh Grant will always be one of my fave romantic heroes. He's in so many of my fave movies, including Sense & Sensibility and Maurice.
A lot of rom coms I don't actually love but I love the ending scenes (ex. He's Just Not That Into You, The Proposal). I'd say Never Been Kissed too but tbh I all-around like that messy movie.
I should sometime soo, b/c some of the scenes I seen online are cute/sweet.
Lol, I love He's Just Not That Into You (It had its 10 year anniversary a few days ago!)
He's Just Not That Into You just has a lot of depressing bits to me but I remember liking The Exception (lol) couple (I actually loved Ginnifer Goodwin then because I also really loved her in Mona Lisa Smile before Once Upon a Time happened) and Jennifer Connelly.
(also i wonder what the movie would have been like with its original script - which was supposed to be a lot darker iirc? it definitely wouldn't have been the giant hit it ended up being anyway)
