The Map of Tiny Perfect Things was a nice feeling teenage coming of age story, presented with a Groundhog Day style premise, with a sad twist but uplifting finish. We tend to enjoy these movies where a self deprecating character falls for someone who is not interested, and just keeps coming back until love winsContinue reading “The Map of Tiny Perfect Things (2021)”

Coda (2021)
Wow was this movie good! Kevin’s dad had invited us to watch the movie with him and he’s usually interested in feel good shows, so we were pretty excited to have the opportunity, but we had no idea it was going to end up like this! the premise is great, the execution was incredible, tonsContinue reading “Coda (2021)”
Expedition Happiness
A movie about quitting everyday life and leaving everything behind to travel across the land in a converted school bus, the premise had us hooked before we even started. Especially in the age of quarantines and shut downs, the escape to the road is compelling, as are the scenes from beautiful national parks in CanadaContinue reading “Expedition Happiness”
Christopher Robin (2018)
The kids have been getting into Pooh a lot recently so we thought we’d check out this movie for older kids about a grown up Christopher Robin. Simply put, the first half is miserable and not for kids our age. The movie does redeem itself in the second half and overall we enjoyed it. GrownContinue reading “Christopher Robin (2018)”
Tracktown (2016)
Amanda just finished Bravey by Alexi Pappas and loved the memoir/self help/motivational book, so we decided to check out one of the movies that she and her husband Jeremy Teicher have made. This one is the story of Plum Marigold, star athlete at the a University of Oregon. Plum, played by Alexi, is a nervous,Continue reading “Tracktown (2016)”
Yes Day (2021)
It had been a few weeks since we watched a feel good movie, so we were ready for a good one. We also didn’t want to make a decision so we chose the first thing we saw on Netflix, which was Yes Day either Jennifer Garner, and we are glad we said yes to it!Continue reading “Yes Day (2021)”
The Healer (2016)
Netflix decided to start advertising The Healer on our homepage recently, so I added it to the list as the quick description sounded like something we’d like. Well Netflix, you win again, and congrats to The Healer, you outperformed your 17% Rotten Tomatoes score. We enjoyed the movie despite, and maybe because of, how absurdContinue reading “The Healer (2016)”
Like A Boss (2020)
Like A Boss was funny, outrageous, ridiculous and altogether pretty nice, and a much better feel than the 4.6 IMDB rating (or the 21% RT and 33% MC ratings!). A story about friendship, trust and communication focuses on the cosmetics industry in Atlanta and a cutthroat business woman that tries to split up two BFFs.Continue reading “Like A Boss (2020)”
Love Happens (2009)
We queued up a few movies on Amazon Prime without doing much homework on them, but with a name like Love Happens, what could go wrong? Well, the movie was not great, but we did have fun watching it and a few scenes moved us. Aaron Eckhart stars as Burke, an author and motivational speaker,Continue reading “Love Happens (2009)”
Sylvie’s Love (2020)
From Amazon Prime, Sylvie’s Love hit all the right notes for us with beautiful love, cute children, great music and a story full of good people doing their best at life and love. This movie introduced us to former NFL star Nnamdi Asomugha as Robert and Tessa Thompson as Sylvie, who has been in someContinue reading “Sylvie’s Love (2020)”
