Chick Flick Tuesday: The Ten Best Days of My Life

Posted By Leah on January 18th, 2011

Chick Flick Tuesday highlights the best chick flicks in the movie world as well as bringing you news on upcoming chick flick releases as well as letting you all know about which chick lit books are being made into chick flick movies!

This week I’ve decided to feature a Chick Flick that hasn’t yet been released. I recently read The Ten Best Days of My Life by Adena Halpern and I was blown away with how much I loved the book (with any luck we’ll be reviewing it on the site soon). So I went looking for more of Adena’s novels and happened to find out that The Ten Best Days of my Life has not only been optioned by Twentieth Century Fox but Amy Adams will star with Shawn Levy being the potential director. I can’t wait for it to be released (IMDB says 2011, but I don’t know how accurate that is) and it could be an amazing movie.

Twenty-nine-year-old Alexandra Dorenfield suddenly finds herself in heaven after an unfortunate encounter with a Mini Cooper. The seventh—and highest—level of heaven to be exact. Her dog Peaches is with her; she is reunited with her beloved grandparents; she has the wardrobe of a movie star; and she lives in the house of her dreams next door to a handsome guy. This is heaven!

But there’s a catch. In order to remain in seventh heaven, Alex must prove she led a fulfilling life by writing about her ten best days on earth — if she fails, she will be demoted to a lower level of heaven, where the clothes are last year’s styles, the men aren’t quite as handsome, and worst of all, Peaches and her family won’t be nearby. Her assignment in self-discovery forces her to confront the mistakes she left behind—and inspires her to set things right. Witty and inspiring, this divine debut novel dares to ask a material girl- and the rest of us- what makes life precious?
