The Map of Tiny Perfect Things (2021)

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)”

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)”

Nappily Ever After (2018)

When Netflix said this was a 57% match for us, I knew that their algorithm was missing something. This movie fit us perfectly, as the main character Violet grows throughout the movie after EPICLY hitting rock bottom at the end of a drunken escapade. Her new love interest has the cutest young girl, and theContinue reading “Nappily Ever After (2018)”

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)”
