Christ, what a turd this was. Warring divorced parents conspire to ruin high-achieving daughter’s wedding to Balinese seaweed farmer, and learn about love on the way & end up together. To think we paid money in a cinema to watch
Senior Year
Few films can stand out as being “truly dire” – but this was one of them. Basically forcing the “different generation” trope as a woman who’s been in a coma for 20 years returns to her high school to complete
Chef
I really, really didn’t like this. And it wasn’t based on preconception because I’d never heard a thing about it. It was probably my curiousity about seeing Jon Favreau at work after having watched a load of his Star Wars
A Castle for Christmas
