Mixtape (2021)

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)”

Christmas Catch (2018)

Undercover Detective Bennett, dressed as an elf, fails miserably at flirting to delay a suspect and the fiasco lands her a suspension. This is how Christmas Catch gets started, and the writing and filmmaking left something to be desired. That being said, we still enjoyed this film! As far as Christmas movies go, this wasContinue reading “Christmas Catch (2018)”

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)”

My Dad’s Christmas Date (2020)

While not really a Christmas movie, this film about life after tragedy found ways to make us cry and warm our hearts. Poorly rated online (5.4 on IMDb), the movie focuses on the isolation felt by a father and daughter years after an accident stole the mothers life, and we eventually get to see aContinue reading “My Dad’s Christmas Date (2020)”

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)”

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)”

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! 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)”
