Advanced Cinematherapy : The Girl's Guide to Finding Happiness One Movie at a Time is pretty much like the orginal Cinematherpy, in the fact that it delivers movies for every emotion possibily known to women. But for those who had a bone to pick with the orginal book (many people complained that the movies listed were ones they had already seen),or if you adore movies from a long ago by-gone era, you're in for a real treat! And for those who perfer modern stuff but are tired of watching the latest Oscar winner, don't dispair: there are lots of good indie movies/movies made for cable/movies that were actually good but no one saw, too! The movies listed in Advanced Cinematherapy range from the 30s to the 90s (although the focus is more on older films) and have every type of genre possible: screwball antics, old-fashioned drama, modern day black comedies, movies that turned legeands into legeands, and well...just plain great movies in general.
My only complaint is that too they didn't include some of the better films, such as Moulin Rouge, Bus Stop, Dirty Dancing etc and instead included movies like The First Wives Club. C'mon, do we really need that? Still, all in all, a good risk if you want something new.

If you like the other Cinematherapy books, you'll like this one.

While I don't always agree with the way the movies are divided into chapters, this is a funny book that suggests that watching different classic movies "will cure what ails ya". Laugh-out-loud funny, most of the time.

This book seems to include a greater mix of movies; from yesteryear to modern, from popular to hard-to-find. Food, well, movies for thought.
