Ice Breaker Time

So here's a little audience participation exercise:
My all-time favorite ice breaker question (I can feel your excitement):

If your life were a movie what kind of movie would it be?
What genre? (i.e. comedy, action, drama, film noir...)

And who would play each important character? (you decide which characters are most important)

**Important note** if for some reason this question makes you feel hostile toward me, do not feel obligated to answer. I don't know why this question would make you hostile, but people have gotten angry about it in the past. If you have any insight into why that would be, please feel free to share.:) Thanks.

For all the rest of you, please play along, because it's fun!

So here's the movie of my life:

The genre of my movie would have to be a musical. I would love to live in a world where people spontaneously break out into song and dance, inexplicably knowing every word and move, though it was clearly spur of the moment and unrehearsed. I just think that song and dance are the most appropriate responses to joy, and nothing beats a really sad song with lots of violins during the low times.

My cast of characters:

Hubby - some sort of Brad Pitt/John Cusack hybrid (Brad Pitt's pre-Angelina boyish sexiness, combined with an early Cusack quirky, goofy earnestness)

Me - Elizabeth Shue (I don't look anything like her, but I think she has a natural beauty and warm intelligence that I like)

My 9 year old - Jesse McCartney (they have the same hair and love of performing)

My 7 year old - Jayden Smith (Will Smith's son, he doesn't have the freckles, but he's got all the attitude of my boy)

5 year old - the kid from Jerry Maguire (how many pounds is the human brain?) sweet and at times off-the-wall.

3 year old - the little girl from The Game Plan (we have a very racially diverse family). She's tough, but girly and sensitive.

Mom - Sally Field for her fierce mom qualities

Dad - a young Sean Connery/Harrison Ford hybrid (it's my movie, I can do what I want) for their classy intelligence and ruggedness.

My Big Bro - Tom Cruise on stilts (from his pre-scientology Top Gun days - cool and crazy)

Sister-in-law - Jenna Elfman (the girl from Dharma and Greg) for her bubbly effervescent personality.

Little Sis - Julia Stiles, different hair color, but same intelligence and grace

Littler Sis - Anne Hathaway - same big brown eyes and fun goofiness

Stepmom (now ex, but none the less) - Sigorney Weaver - they have the same awesome bone structure and beautiful brown eyes.

My friend, Crystal, would be played by an earthy Reese Witherspoon (beautiful and always capable), I can't figure out who would play Stephanie (if you have any suggestions for an athletic, fun and straightforward friend, let me know), and Andrea would be played by Rosie O'Donnell from A League of Their Own (tough, but with a big heart).

So, that's my movie. It would be a musical dramedy - you'd laugh, you'd cry and you might even spontaneously break into dance.

Your turn...
