Beautiful Wedding (2024)
Why?
I honestly do not know what I just watched! How do movies like this get made?
There is no direct storyline, it is chaotic. No connection or chemistry between the leads, I could not understand why these 19 year olds wanted to get married, do they love or even like each other?
The actors are doing the best with the poor script and dialogue they were given. The attempts of humour both crude and slapstick miss the mark. Would love to know if the cast knew the dud they were making.
I'm embarrassed for everyone involved but more for myself for watching it. Added to my list of one of the worst movies made.
Mean Girls (2024)
Unnecessary Reboot
How do I get the 2 hours back in my life and my money back?
I went in with an open-mind, I like musicals. I understand this version is based on the broadway musical but what fits for stage does not translate to film. It's lost the charm.
It races through the story and feels disjointed. Does not offer anything new. New cast are bland. There feels like there is no connection between the characters. There is no no depth or insights into the characters and story.
Where I could watch the original over and over (again I know new version is based on the stage musical) this version will not become iconic.
Hearts in the Game (2023)
Modern Hallmark Movie
I've only just found this movie and have to say one of the best Hallmarks in awhile. Shame it did not receive more recognition, in fairness it probably got lost in the 100+ Hallmark movies released in 2023.
For Hallmark purist it follows and hits the traditional Hallmark themes and milestones.
There is a slight but welcomed deviation with a modern subject matter and dialogue (the whispered 'hey babe' at the end when Hazel walks in the apartment won me). Natural chemistry between the leads and cast.
Refreshing things to call out -
- Does not shame women for leaving small town to have a career, we don't have to have an epiphany and sacrifice all we have worked for. A couple who find love and have successful careers in the city.
- We come to understand that we make our own choices and take different paths in life and that's OK.
- A calm and sensible mother providing insightful advice.
