WARNING SPOILER ALERT! If you plan on seeing this movie, you may not want to read any farther!

1. Wow, Christian Grey is more attractive than I remember

2. I want to go to a masquerade ball

3. Dakota Johnson’s character Anastasia Steele is a boss

….for defending herself when her creepy, jealous boss tries to pull a move on her.

4. THAT PROPOSAL THOUGH

Yes! Christian Grey proposes marriage to Ana at the end of the movie (in the pool house of his family’s mansion) in extravangent fashion! Not going to lie, it was beautiful.

Although I was not a HUGE fan of the movie, I will say that there was a plotline and more to it than just erotic sex. Christian’s character really developed from the first movie which allowed him and Anastasia to have a surprisingly semi-normal relationship.

I would recommend you see it, but you might want to check the first one out first so you understand what’s going on. Happy Valentine’s Day collegiettes!
