I went Crazy this weekend.

Crazy for the very entertaining, Crazy Rich Asians.

This is the new Pretty Woman.

Leave behind all the insanity going on in the world and have a wondrous 2 hours and 1 minute of pure, unadulterated entertainment.

We took in the film at the ArcLight in Santa Monica.

People need to patronize the beautiful theater on the 3rd floor of the Santa Monica Place mall.

Back to the crazies…I must admit to really missing the rom-com format.

No one talked, ate, turned on the phone or flashed their hi-beam iPhone light.

I laughed, I cried.

I lusted after all the brilliant baubles.

The clothing is mostly gaudy, parties an orgy of excessiveness, but what a ride.

Read the book, see the film, take an endearing break from reality.
