Welcome to the March 2018 edition of Glossies Made Me Do It – what have magazines made you do lately? Link up with me and Ashley below!
In the March 2018 issue of Cosmopolitan (Mandy Moore is on the cover), you will find their Best Month Ever: March section in the beginning of the magazine. Here, you can find out about movies to see, shows to watch, products to check out, and more. I ended up watching one of the movies recommended, as well as the pilot episode of a TV show. What did I think?
Number 4 on the list is Good Girls, which premiered this past Monday night. It stars Christina Hendricks, Retta, and Mae Whitman (who I love) who are all moms who desperately need money for one reason or another. Therefore, they decide to rob the store where one of them works. While they make it out with the money, it can’t be that easy. Otherwise, where’s the show? I thought the show would be more of a comedy, but I probably should have realized that for an hour long show it would definitely lean more toward drama. I think there is a mix of the two, but the pilot definitely had a bit more drama than comedic moments.
I’m curious about future episodes, but it’s also Mondays at 10 p.m. which is when I watch The Good Doctor, and if you know me, I don’t do well when keeping up with shows, so I can see myself easily getting behind on Good Girls. We’ll see though – I’d like to see a couple more episodes at least!
Did you watch the pilot? Will you?
Number 13 on the list is actually part of a whole section about upcoming films to see. This movie is called When We First Met and it’s on Netflix now. I spent an evening watching movies with a friend this past Saturday and we watched this romantic, Groundhog Day-esque film. I was immediately intrigued because it stars Adam Devine, who I find hilarious…he’s in the Pitch Perfect films if you’ve seen those! It also stars Alexandra Daddario, who is Annabeth in the Percy Jackson films. I actually didn’t realize this was her until my friend pointed it out. It’s fun to see her grown up and in something different!
When We First Met is a fun romantic comedy. Adam’s character is in love with Alexandra’s, but she’s marrying someone else. He keeps going back to the night they first meet, trying to change what happens so that they will end up together in the present. It doesn’t take long (or it didn’t for my friend and I) to figure out how this movie is going to end…but that’s pretty typical of most romantic comedies, so it didn’t lessen the enjoyment. I’d definitely recommend if this interests you! Plus, it’s on Netflix…you don’t even have to leave the house!
What do you think? Have you seen this movie – would you?

I’m pretty much the same Lauren, I never keep up with most shows. The only one I never miss is The Walking Dead. When We First Met sounds super cute, it’s been forever since I seen a good romantic comedy. Thanks for sharing Lauren, looking forward to your next glossies instalment <3 <3
I wanted to see Good Girls so I had to DVR it, because like you, I’m hooked on The Good Doctor, which is pretty amazing. Love Mandy Moore too! Happy Friday and Hugs…RO
I’m definitely going to have to watch When We First Met on a night when my boyfriend is at a work event. I love a good rom com when I’m home alone!
Oh fun! I haven’t watched either. We are *finally* watching Stranger Things. LOL. Next I will probably try to catch up on Riverdale. Our DVR is filling up! Heheh XO – Alexandra
Simply Alexandra: My Favorite Things
I really want to watch good girls!
The Night We First Met sounds sooo cute! Kind of a Ground Hog Day situation and I love that. I have watched shows and movies based off of magazine recommendations, too. Thanks for putting the movie on my radar because I rarely watch shows anymore and I wouldn’t have seen this otherwise. Great post, Lauren! 🙂
I don’t watch a lot of movies but that one does sound good!
I do want to check out Good Girls because I love all three of those actresses, but I will say I was hoping for more comedy and less drama with it, so I guess I’ll have to decided after I check out the pilot if it will be worth it for me!
I’m horrible keeping up with shows. If I take a break then I forget about them or I get bored. lol
Have a great weekend Lauren!

When We First Met sounds interesting! I may need to spend some time with Netflix this weekend 🙂
I did not check out the Good Girls, but I am a fan of Good Doctor. I love it!
I love the cast of Good Girls, I assumed it was a comedy (because Retta) but I’m in for a good drama too. I just finished binge watching Nurse Jackie after seeing everyone everywhere recommend it for so long. It lived up to the hype!
I am so behind on shows, I saw the previews for when we first met though and thought it looked really cute.
Good Girls looked interesting but I tend to shy away from dramas. I love those actresses, though! It’ll probably be a good one!
I’m not much of a TV watcher but it seems like Good Girls has been heavily promoted. I didn’t watch it but it definitely looks like an interesting concept.
I REALLY want to see Good Girls 😀 I just need to find some time for it.
My fiancé told me to watch When We First Met! 🙂
I haven’t added any new shows, we have been watch series we love wrapup. I will look up When We First Met since it sounds fun.
I like the premise of that show but rarely watch TV so I probably won’t watch it.
I am behind on so many tv shows right now but one of my current faves is The Good Doctor!
Good Girls does sound fun…
I haven’t seen that show or either of those movies! I need to start making a list of movies to watch at home when I have a chill evening…

OMG, When We First Met sounds cute and I absolutely adoreeee Alexandra Daddario! I’ll definitely check this out when I finally find some time to watch something.
Adam Devine is hilarious and adorable. I haven’t heard of this movie before, but I’m always down for a romantic comedy, and even better that it has a Groundhog Day feel to it AND that it’s on Netflix. Score!
I haven’t heard of that show before, but I have a hard time picking up new ones. Will look for it though in any event–sounds interesting! Hope you are enjoying the weekend, momma! XOXO
I keep seeing that movie on Netflix, and now I really want to watch it. I haven’t yet watched Good Girls, but the previews looked pretty good. I’ll probably check it out on Hulu. Thanks for your great review!
I’ll have to check out The Good Girls. I watch The Good Doctor too, but I almost never watch anything while it’s actually on, so that’s not a problem.
I want glossies to make me do something!!!! – http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
I so need to watch this! I watch This Is Us and adore it. It never fails to bring out the emotions!
Good Girls looks hilarious and that cast is amazing.
I can’t keep up with shows as they come out, that is why I need Netflix, Amazon and Hulu so I can binge at a later date!
With my crazy household, I don’t get to watch a lot of TV, because I don’t get the remote very often. So I tend to read instead!
This has given some ideas of what to watch when I get some free time. Thanks for sharing with #bloggersbest x
The hubs is going out of town to work for 6 weeks so I will check these shows out while I have total control of the remote!!!
Hope your link-up will be open for awhile. I was thinking of your Glossies Made Me… posts this morning. Almost bought a glossy! Will get one tomorrow to read on the plane as I travel to see my mom.
It’s crazy seeing them all grown up and in different roles sometimes. And I am all for not leaving the house (it’s once again snowing lol)
Good Girls looks like a funny show, I’m surprised to hear it has more drama. It reminds me of Mad Money with Queen Latifah, Diane Keaton & Katie Holmes. That movie was funny, but I wondered how it would translate to a series.
