Mean Girls (2024)
Though I was entertained by this version of Mean Girls, there was an overall flatness.
The Best Man
An amazing ensemble of actors can elevate a film's material and that is what this group does for The Best Man.
The Color Purple
The Color Purple is filled with amazing performances, breathtaking shots and wonderful music, but there is something just a little off-kilter that keeps it from being one of the best modern musicals.
Anyone But You
There are a lot of nonsensical things that happen in Anyone But You, even by rom-com standards, but that didn't keep me from having a good time.
May December
May December is secretly one of the most scathing movie about movies ever. I didn't quite know how to feel about the film once it was finished, but I couldn't stop thinking about it the next day.
Leave the World Behind
The biggest question that I had after watching this film: Did Rose recognize her mom when she watched, “The One After the Superbowl?”
Family Switch
Family Switch feels a bit rushed because there are moments that really work and others that don't at all.
The Killer
I never thought I would love watching the various ways a man could dispose of trash.
Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.
It's no wonder that Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. is a beloved Judy Blume novel. This story has to be one of the most realistic portrayals of adolescence that I have seen.
Love Actually
Love Actually has some high highs and some low lows, but I can't help but get wrapped up into Richard Curtis's world every time.
Dan in Real Life
Dan in Real Life is a great, sweet film that should appeal to everyone. The performances are very down-to-earth, and although the plot becomes predictable, it plays out in a naturalistic way.
Hot Potato: The Story of the Wiggles
Even if The Wiggles weren't a part of your life or your child's life, there is much to admire about this music documentary.
Trolls Band Together
Not that film buffs debate the ranking of the Trolls trilogy, but I would put Trolls Band Together right in the middle. It is completely unnecessary and neither brings or takes away from the animation genre.
Fair Play
Fair Play will make you think twice about working together with your partner. I really found myself enraptured in the unraveling of the relationship between Emily (Phoebe Dynevor) and Luke (Alden Ehrenreich) as the two navigate promotions and investments in a highly competitive hedge fund.
