Uplifting Update: So Very Cheesy

It's time for some cheese. So far I've only acknowledged the stuff out there that avoids, for the most part, being corny. (The Singles Ward not included.) So I'd like to take a break now and acknowledge those works out there that are perhaps not high quality, but oh-so-good anyway.

Center Stage--This movie about young dancers in a prestigious New York ballet company can be a little nauseating at times (namely the salsa dancing scene--"Your sweat is sweet!"), but the dancing is good. It's worth it for that alone. (Especially the jazz class scene and the year-end performance.) This movie came out when I was taking dance, and our teacher, after hearing many students rave about the movie, finally had to say, "Girls, I understand that the dancing is great, but that love story was awful." I guess that's just what happens when you get amazing dancers to try and act, too. Oh, and it has a soundtrack with Mandy Moore. I somehow have a weakness for Mandy Moore music. She just makes life sound fun. (While looking up the link on IMDb, I realized that a sequel, Center Stage: Turn It Up came out in 2008.)
Father of the Bride (and Father of the Bride: Part II)--This is almost too good to be included on this list. I mean come on, it's Steve Martin and Diane Keaton. Still, since I have a hazy sense of embarrassment around expressing just how much I like this, I think it's eligible. This is one of those times when the sequel is as good as, if not better than, the original (although the original original, of course, is the one with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor).
Sleepless in Seattle--There's just something so comforting about Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in innocuous romantic comedies, and when they're in them together--even better. I'm looking at you, too, You've Got Mail.
High School Musical 3: Senior Year--Why are you so good, High School Musical 3? Is it your song? Your dance? Your smiley Zac Efron? (I am forever endeared to the kid after my first exposure to him, playing an autistic boy in the TV movie Miracle Run.) I don't even enjoy the first two movies that much. This last one is just so...infectious in the best way. It makes me wish I'd gone to a singing, dancing high school.
Meg Cabot in general--This is the author of The Princess Diaries and many, many more novels for both young adults and adults. I've only read the Queen of Babble series, but I've seen the Princess movies (with Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews), and all these combine to make me a big Meg Cabot fan in general. The fact that I've included her on the list gives me pause, though--doesn't she deserve some real recognition? Chick lit gets a bad reputation, but unjustly so. Just because a book is written for a female audience, that automatically makes is seem shallow? Of course not! Here's a blog post by YA author Maureen Johnson that elaborates on this point.
