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)”

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)”
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)”
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)”
The Healer (2016)
Netflix decided to start advertising The Healer on our homepage recently, so I added it to the list as the quick description sounded like something we’d like. Well Netflix, you win again, and congrats to The Healer, you outperformed your 17% Rotten Tomatoes score. We enjoyed the movie despite, and maybe because of, how absurdContinue reading “The Healer (2016)”
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)”
