Management

I and Mark met up yesterday after work and headed directly to the Gateway mall for our Friday movie night routine. We watched the Management movie. :)



MANAGEMENT is a romantic comedy about a chance meeting between Mike Cranshaw and Sue Claussen. It was about a series of trysts between a tightly controlled lost soul who sells corporate motel-room art, played by Jennifer Aniston, and the foggy-headed manager (Steve Zahn) of a Kingman, Ariz., roadside motel owned by his folks.

Their love story begins when Sue checks into Mike's parent's roadside motel for her business trip. Mike delivered a bottle of wine to Sue's room as "compliments of the Management". What started with a bottle of wine soon evolved into a lot of multi-layered, cross-country journey of two people looking for a sense of purpose.

Mike spent all of his money to go after Sue in her workplace in Maryland only to find that she has no place for him in her carefully ordered life. Sue goes back to her yogurt mogul ex-boyfriend Jango because of a promise to give her a chance to head his charity works. But they both found something worth fighting for and embarked on a twisted, bumpy, freeing journey to discover that their place in the world just might be together.

I must say that I enjoyed watching the movie. One lesson that I liked the most from the movie is about letting go and moving on..that in order to achieve your dreams and become who you want to be, you should let go of the things that keep you stuck and hinder you from moving on. I never thought that what could have been a pretty predictable romantic comedy would turn into something surprisingly touching. Management sure is very touching that I find myself in tears especially in the last parts of the movie. Maybe because I can see myself and Mark's into the characters. ;p

Mark seems to be so easygoing and annoying at times and I always rant about him not having any directions in his life, just like Mike, but I bet he won't go across countries just to prove his love for me. And I am like Sue, I always plan things and always want things to be organized, but I'm not really into charity..hehe.. ;p And just like Mike and Sue's journey, our journey also had some twists and bumps, but we were able to let go of all bad experiences and we still managed to be together. :)
