Netflix’s new film takes us back to 1999 and doesn’t disappoint with its soundtrack, Y2K mania and a heartfelt story with a happy ending. Beverly’s parents died when she was two, and her grandmother Gail doesn’t like to talk about them, so when Bev finds a window into their lives in a mixtape, she triesContinue reading “Mixtape (2021)”

Single All the Way (2021)
After finishing up perhaps the worst Christmas movie ever, we started in on Netflix’s newest offering Single All the Way. At first glance, Netflix must have spent their Christmas budget just on the list of actors in this film, not that it guarantees a successful story. This one didn’t disappoint! Desperate to get his familyContinue reading “Single All the Way (2021)”
Love Hard (2021)
Our first Christmas movie of the season, Love Hard begins with a young woman in LA going on bad dates and writing about them professionally.

In Good Company (2004)
Can a movie be feel good if the couple isn’t together at the end? Well In Good Company is evidence that it can, as we felt great at the end. What was the stranger pairing, Topher Grace and Dennis Quaid, or Topher Grace and Scarlett Johansson? Spoiler alert, Topher ends up alone and happy, andContinue reading “In Good Company (2004)”
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!

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”
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)”
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)”
