If we love the movie , then is it really shit? Legal Eagles, I watch it at least once a year and can quote most of it which is not a flex as it is about 2 lawyers so it’s mainly legalese! I will definitely make the pasta but ill add in a few extras

This is an excellent question, and one I think about a lot especially when it comes to movie reviewers. Like, a film (Paw Patrol's Mighty Movie springs to mind) might be objectively TERRIBLE, but everyone in its target audience loves it – so is it then a great movie, when you bear in mind who it was made for?!

That being said, I have REALLY enjoyed several books over the past few months that I would happily admit are not good, in that they are predicable, badly written, clichéd and deeply unrealistic (but meant to be realistic, ykwim)… so my enjoyment has not made them good? But them being crap hasn't lessened my enjoyment either, so maybe it doesn't even matter.

Looking forward to making this! Shit movies most certainly worth a watch: Tiptoes starring Gary Oldman, Matthew McConaghey, and Kate Beckinsale - so terrible I’m afraid to describe it; Riding the Bus with my Sister - also falls into this category, the fact that anyone in these films ever worked again is a miracle, but both are essential viewing. Life Size with Lindsey Logan and Tyra banks. Probably terrible/annoying but actually heartwarming: 50 First Dates ❤️

Okay so I'd forgotten about the great chicken breast size disparity but this recipe reminded me; one of the most revolting things about American life is how GIANT the chicken breasts are. You'd want to do MAXIMUM one chicken breast for two people if you're buying them in an American supermarket.

As for shit movies, He's Just Not That Into You is a movie I have FOR SHAME seen approximately 10 times, and would watch again right now if I could get away with switching it off Paw Patrol for even 5 seconds… I will report back once (if!) I try the recipe xo
