Fatherhood (2021)
The critics were harsh
Somehow, Kevin Hart hits funny and serious at the same time and it's surprising. There are a few good jokes (nothing hilarious) but I have sat crying at points where the film hits a bit close to reality. Other than 'Jack and Sarah', there aren't enough movies addressing widowers coping as single parents and asking the serious questions about what happens in that situation.
Kevin's character is supported by the predictable side kick friends and bolstered by his mum and mother in law, all well played. I'd highly recommend this film as a happy medium for a guy who wants Kevin Hart comedy and his parter, who wants a serious undertone film.
Bridgerton (2020)
Questionable acting at points but engaging!
Clearly an attempt to tick boxes here which brings out the cynic in so many. Also, a historically inaccurate story but a story which may suit the costume drama fans and lovers of historical romance. I'd say give this a go...
Lady and the Tramp (2019)
So disappointing
We all know Disney have gone ultra PC in recent years but this has ruined a great film. Even the change to a new female character annoys me. There's elements cut out that we're such a joy in the original. Lady seems less dimensional or emotional in this version and I feel like the attempt to develop Tramp's character and backstory is forced. Delighted some of the original score remains and feels mostly unchanged and a lot of the classic visuals are very similar. But I'd rather show my kiddies the original...
The Unknown Soldier (1998)
Give it a chance
I watched this as a 12y.o when it was first released and remember it vividly. I rewatch it on occasion and think it is well acted and accurate.
