The Good House (2021)

I Miss This Type of Movie!

[10/10 · 7 October 2022]

In a world of junk revivals, it's wonderful to watch a fresh story with humor, heart, and hope. Everything about this story was perfect. I laughed and cried in a rollercoaster of emotions. At one point I was enjoying it so much, I became aware that it may be close to the end. I wanted to see more.

I enjoyed all the stories within the movie. Every character seemed to have their own issues and it was interesting to see Sigourney Weaver's character deal with each of them. Her character was strong and vulnerable.

Why does Hollywood continue to redo stories when writers like this are out there? A small slice of life type of movie is missed. This and mystery movies will always win over super heroes and rethinking what was already done.

The Conners (2018–2025)

Giving It A Chance!

[9/10 · 17 October 2018]

I'm keeping an open mind about The Connor's, as this is a huge transition with a great cast that feels like home for 30 years of memories.

There will always be a ramping up period for anything new.

Life of the Party (I) (2018)

Painful To Watch!

[3/10 · 8 August 2018]

This movie was so frustrating! It's a simple and overused formula. I rented it because I like Melissa McCarthy but it's still seriously disappointing.

I would have asked for my money back had I gone to see on the big screen. Insulting and just plain lame.

This formula was well done with Rodney Dangerfield's Back To School.

Anna Farris did a similar type movie with House Bunny, only a world Better and the story flowed.
