I’m really excited to see When Harry Tries to Marry. I saw the trailer a little while back, and it looks really cute! Speaking of cute…the lead actor is really cute. Can’t wait till it comes out near me!
I’m excited about Water For Elephants. I read the book last year as part of a library program and I enjoyed. I’m also a big fan of Reese Witherspoon so hoping for good things out of her performance.
