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”

Stargirl (2020)
Grace VanderWaal is Stargirl, and she inspired the characters and the audience to dream big, do better, and find ourselves in this cute teenage story. From the perspective of a introverted “Michael Cera” type teenager, we see Stargirl enter public schools for the first time and immediately change the course of life in this smallContinue reading “Stargirl (2020)”
Superintelligence (2020)
An entity that began as a learning toy has taken control of the world’s technology and threatens the end of humanity unless a successful rom-com emerges. Melissa McCarthy was hilarious and the superintelligence uses James Cordon’s voice and likeness to add to the ridiculous situations. Funny and light, the movie follows the rom-con script, itContinue reading “Superintelligence (2020)”
I Am Woman (2019)
We first saw the teaser on Netflix for I Am Woman a few months ago and instantly added it to our list, but it was relegated due to the holidays and a few other series we had queued up. Knowing nothing about Helen Reddy before going in, we were instantly intrigued and hooked on theContinue reading “I Am Woman (2019)”
Dash & Lily (2020)
A sweet series on Netflix featuring a scavenger hunt love story with all the typical rom com ingredients, it has many good feels through the first half, and wraps things up nicely. If this were a movie, the sad parts would have been forgotten quickly, but with this episodic format we went to bed afterContinue reading “Dash & Lily (2020)”
Happiest Season
Well on the surface this movie barely qualifies as feel good, but after we talked a bit we realized that the movie lives in the angst of its characters, and only relents for the last few minutes. Having spent the last two weeks watching Schitt’s Creek seasons 3-5, we were elated to see “David” inContinue reading “Happiest Season”
Enola Holmes (2020)
Our first date night in quite a while turned out to be wine and a movie in the basement, and we chose the new Netflix movie Enola Holmes, starring our favorite actress from Stranger Things Millie Bobby Brown. The film turned out to be a wonderful mix of a coming of age story and aContinue reading “Enola Holmes (2020)”
Schitt’s Creek Season 3
After a touching scene to end Season 2, we had high hopes for Season 3, and Schitt’s Creek delivered. While there was plenty of the Rose’s acting selfishly and demeaning their town, each of the main characters showed love and kindness for others, and grew into likable (or even lovable) people. This season each ofContinue reading “Schitt’s Creek Season 3”
Love, Guaranteed (2020)
Love, Guaranteed (2020): IMDb Is that the girl from “She’s All That”? Lovable old guy in the opening scene predicting big things Troubled first meeting, but SPARKS Quite a few laughable and awkward moments Ridiculous and lovable ending Movie Rating: 5 Feel Good Rating: 8
Holidate (2020)
We watched the new Netflix holiday movie and found ourselves laughing and cringing throughout the film, which had your typical Hallmark movie plot but with more adult themes and plenty of F-bombs. With the main character donning a work-from-home pajama suit for most of the movie, it felt enough like 2020 to be familiar, butContinue reading “Holidate (2020)”
