Movie: Puccini For Beginners

After watching the amazing movie, Flannel Pajamas, and becoming a fast, new fan of Julianne Nicholson and Justin Kirk, I was really excited to discover that they were in another movie together. This one is called, Puccini For Beginners, and it's really good! And really funny!

Here's the synopsis: Two gay women break up in Brooklyn. The movie follows the "getting over it" stage of one of the gay women, who is played so well by Elizabeth Reaser (you'll recognize her from Grey's Anatomy). She surprisingly falls for a guy, played perfectly and handsomely by Justin Kirk. Then she falls for another woman (a glassblower, played by Gretchen Mol) at the same time. Those two also happen to be a (straight) recently broken-up couple. No one realizes they are all dating each other at the same time, until of course, some key pivotal moments. What a triangle. More like some twisted sort of hexagon or something.

Really funny. Really sweet. Really well edited and written. Really well acted.

And the nice thing is, if you're a netflix member, you can watch the whole movie online right now!
