In another episode of random movies my friend grew up with that I'd never heard of lol. So much of this did not age well, really hate how man centered this movie was (esp that they got back together for no reason...) but I really love the girlhood of it all, was very wholesome :) ALSO THOSE OUTFITS OML

Shelley Long is actually an underrated fashion icon, I'm surprised more people don't talk about the film. It ain't a secret masterpiece but still a decent time.

1/4 Movies Courtney Loves
It’s just the absolute best. And little Carla! Always a delight to rewatch this again.
Why I think Courtney loves this: personal reinvention, resilience!!!, it’s female centered, incredible costume design, showcases the importance of kindness, and it’s just an all around hopeful movie. And, of course, You made us like ourselves! And that’s so Courtney.
