The Lucky Ones (2008)
If you like the description, you will like the movie. It offers all it says and more.
It's emotional without being corny. It's poetically human, with a beautiful cast that comes together to perform a perfect medley of struggles, challenges, hope and purpose. The movie follows an unexpectedly long road trip that intertwines the lives of the leading trio. Next we see a journey that unravels friendship and togetherness, in a way that is more lifelike and detours from the usual melodramas and theatrics of cinema. It's so relatable. The movie beautifully depicts new friendships that arise from the least expected, unforeseen circumstances - and how simple friendships can help us wade through tumultuous life situations. The cast does a wonderful job in bringing out the essence of the script - a humanizing take on the lives and journeys of three army folks, set in the background of a post war break (it's supposed to be based on the Iraq war, although it's not mentioned in the movie). Don't miss it.
Sisters (2015)
Women Only.
Men - don't watch it (you probably weren't going to anyway). Women - it's a fun movie to pull out with a glass of wine / whiskey / cocktail, whatever you prefer. The movie is not supposed to put you in wonderment or in awe of cinematic intelligentsia. It's a simple, fun and funny chick -flick. Take it for what it is designed to be and you will like it. It's not going to be the best comedy movie you ever saw. But the chemistry of Tiny and Amy is absolutely charming and palpable throughout the movie. This is one of those movies where the star cast is the essence - not the storyline or the direction. If you like the cast and have followed their shows in the past (30 Rock / Parks and Rec), you will be prepared for the taste of the humor. Two sisters - one crazy party - love - fun - togetherness - what's not to like?
