The Sweetest Thing

After having been to the movies watching "Deine Schönheit ist nichts wert" we were all really down because of the sad and disturbing story of Veysel. So, Lisa, Shirin and I went to a nice restaurant to have a nice and filling meal and some wine while discussing the plot of the movie. Lisa and I actually had to tell Shirin the end of the movie because she went out earlier. We were also talking about a friend of mine of whom I was afraid of maybe facing the same fate. After our dinner we went to our apartment and opened a bottle of red wine. We just wanted to drown our sorrow...

... and we wanted to cheer us up a bit. Not only with wine. Of course not. What are you thinking about us? We were also talking about other movies and we found out that one of my favorite comedy movies is actually also Shirin's favorite one: The Sweetest Thing. To be honest, I probably watch it once a year with my brothers and we are always holding our bellies down from laughing! So, we four – Lisa, Shirin,  Alex and Mustafa – were lying in bed watching The Sweetest Thing starring Cameron Diaz – my favorite – Christina Applegate and Selma Blair.

This movie is the most hilarious one I know. Yet I don't see the point in giving the plot away – you just have to watch the movie. I can really recommend watching it, especially because of the hilarious scenes taking place during the protagonists' road trip. For example, there's this great scene in the men's restroom of a motorway service area or – my favorite one – when they are driving in their car and Cameron is bending of Christina to ... and then a biker sees that and ...
It's just great, really. The best, however, is "The Penis Song" they perform in a restaurant. I think most of you have already heard of it since Shirin and I kept singing it in university, in class, before the Progress Check, at the BBQ. Those who don't know it yet, here it goes and those who do know ... well, can't stop watching it over and over again:
