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)”

A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish (2019)
Half traditional Cinderella story, half modern rom-com, Christmas Wish delivers some feel good moments, more cringe-worthy scenes, and several new, auto-tuned songs to boost your holiday spirit. Our Cinderella is Kat, who lives with her step mom and step sisters, and of course does all the work in the house while the rest live onContinue reading “A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish (2019)”
Operation Christmas Drop (2020)
Is there anything that can ruin the Christmas spirit better than the government? As congress considers closing the Air Force base in Guam a congressional aide is sent to uncover the truth behind “Operation Christmas Drop” and ends up in the middle of a Christmas miracle. This movie was…not great, but the charitable theme basedContinue reading “Operation Christmas Drop (2020)”
King Richard (2021)
Although tennis fascinates me, we are not a tennis household and were not familiar with the backstory of Serena and Venus Williams, so it was fascinating to watch Will Smith portray the father who will let nothing interfere with his plan for success. All of the girls were great, they were devoted to family andContinue reading “King Richard (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. Natalie is getting tired of the game and is looking for real love, which sets her up for the ultimate catfish from a guy across the country. After a crossContinue reading “Love Hard (2021)”
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)”
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”
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)”
