Best. Christmas. Ever! (2023)
Cringeworthy
I chose this movie, expecting something light and fun, but not a cinematic achievement. I did not get any. Of those things. So many moments that make you want to just say ew! The acting was bad, the storyline was worse, and it seemed to make no sense. Just a huge disappointment all around. I love Heather Graham and she's a lovely lady, but she is quite a bit older than the people she was supposed to have gone to school with and it was obvious. Nothing fit together. If you're looking for a fun Christmas movie, this is not the one.
I didn't even finish it because it was so difficult to watch. I just couldn't.
Glamorous (2023)
More fun than I expected!
The series starts out slow but by the third episode I was totally invested in every character and what their outcome would be. Silly and campy sometimes but also heartfelt and very well acted. It did remind me of Ugly Betty but in a good way. Not sure where all the negative reviews are coming from. Not every show has to be Emmy worthy. What's wrong with a little fun entertainment? Lots of great chemistry among the players and the relationships felt genuine. I especially loved the scenes between Marco and his mom. Everyone should have a mother like her! I really enjoyed the season and hope there will be another.
Shotgun Wedding (2022)
Exactly what I expected
Zany fun that stretches belief at times, but that's the point of all of these types of movies. Yes J Lo over acts but I think the character calls for that. Jennifer Coolidge is awesome as usual. The rest of the cast does their jobs well. Funny, plenty of action, and a lot of great stars. Fun to see Cheech Marin, and Maria Conchita Alonso also. Good chemistry between J Lo, and Josh Duhamel. He is the glue that holds this thing together. Some of the jokes fall flat, but most hit the mark intended. Lenny Kravitz is not a great actor, but he does an adequate job here. Not meant to be Oscar worthy but a good fun ride, and it delivers.
Love Accidentally (2022)
Sweet story
Not likely to win any major awards but the story was sweet and the leads had genuine chemistry. We have seen this story before but it was well done and worth the time to watch.
Bridgerton (2020)
Loved it!
Fabulous acting and a very compelling love story.
Can't wait for season 2!
