Every week I watch and write about one movie while following this rule: Each film must have an actor in common with its preceding film, thus creating a Degrees of Separation game that spans an entire year.

I've Got My Courses, I've Got My Camel Cigarette. Where the Hell is My Dreamboat?
Movie: Mona Lisa Smile
Actor from Previous Movie: Ginnifer Goodwin (Judy Hopps, Constance Baker)
Where to Watch: Netflix
I don't have much to say about Mona Lisa Smile other than that I liked it. It reminded me of Dead Poets Society, but I found it much more likable and interesting. I'm a sucker for movies set in historical time periods, and the costumes/music/production design didn't disappoint. With only a 35% on Rotten Tomatoes and 2 stars on Netflix, my expectations for the movie were not very high. So when the movie turned out to be pretty good, I was pleasantly surprised!
Normally I don't like to say movies are for one specific audience. Obviously anyone can like any movie--romance isn't just for women and violence isn't just for men. However, I do think this movie is really more of a chick flick.
Bechdel Assessment: Pass! Of course! One of the first scenes is an art history class at Wellesly College, an all-girls school.
