The Second movie I saw today was The Runaway Bride.

This movie stars Julia Roberts as a lady named Maggie, afraid of marriage, and so she has earned a reputation in her small town of Hale as The Runaway Bride.

Richard Gere is a Columnist named Ike for USA Weekend. He gets tale of the Runaway Bride, and exaggerates the story a little, and prints it.

Maggie reads it, and writes back to the editor, and Ike gets fired from his job.

So, Ike ventures out from New York to Hale to visit the runaway bride, and when he finds out she's getting married, he decides to stick around, so he can watch her run from the wedding.

Unfortunately, things are never that simple, and a couple situations complicate the trip. One is a wedding rehearsal, and the other is Maggie running from a Wedding.

This was a very funny movie, and I enjoyed it immensely. Julia Roberts is absolutely wonderful (as usual), and just by her presence there, the movie gets a two out of Five Field Mice vote.

Fortunately, Gere completed it as the Hard Journalist with a humerous side, and he makes a great prantagonist (that's a portmanteau for Protagonist and antagonist- depending whose side you're on. There's really no bad guy, but each one- Julia or Richard- could be seen as the Antagonist. It all depends on your point of view).

I give this movie a Five Field Mouse Rating. see this one!

There's no sex, and no cursing in this movie, but there are several references to what Julia's character actually fears in Weddings (according to her grandmother, itŐs the wedding night that Julia fears.

As a morality rating, I give it 4 1/2 Field Mice.

This is a movie i would suggest everyone see.

And, as always, Ebert can have the balcony, those other two can have an aisle seat, I want the exact middle!
