And it’s a coming-of-age comedy about a college grad, Ryden Malby (Alexis Bledel), who is forced to move back into her childhood home with her eccentric family while she attempts to find a job, a guy, and a direction for her life.

In the meantime, I’m looking forward The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants II, to be released August 8, 2008.

On September 5, I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With came to theatres. I don’t know much about the film, because I haven’t any of the reviews or watched the trailer yet or anything. All I know is that Rose Abdoo (Gypsy) is listed in the credits, and she probably has a minor role.
Yeah, I’m sorry I’m late with with news.
