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)”
Christmas Break-In (2018)
We picked this movie over a couple other Christmas movies on Netflix tonight because neither of us had seen it and we thought with Danny Glover it had a better chance at being well made. It wasn’t. Let’s make this post short and sweet: there was one sweet moment of the movie, and it involvedContinue reading “Christmas Break-In (2018)”
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.

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”
Yes Day (2021)
It had been a few weeks since we watched a feel good movie, so we were ready for a good one. We also didn’t want to make a decision so we chose the first thing we saw on Netflix, which was Yes Day either Jennifer Garner, and we are glad we said yes to it!Continue reading “Yes Day (2021)”
