Review of Mack & Rita

Mack & Rita (2022)
1/10
Who was this movie for?
24 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I was excited for the premise of this movie. My expectations were the kind of humor you find in Grace and Franky, mixed with 13 going on 30.

I'm not sure who the target demographic was for this. The jokes exaggerated stereotypes of younger people that only an older person would find funny. However, the directing and camera work was too shaky for older people. Some of those scenes should have come with a motion trigger warning.

The premise of the movie was not really clear until you got to the very end and she talks about how she was never comfortable being herself. She said she felt like she had to hide who she was yet it never seemed like she was trying to fit in in the first place. She made it very clear she didn't enjoy doing what the other girls did. I also didn't realize her grandma was dead until the very last scene.

The last thing was how unrealistic it is to say this Mack is unique in wanting to live life like an old lady. So many millennials love reading, knitting, painting, journalling, etc. There was nothing different about Mack than any other millennial. She just needed to find friends who enjoyed doing the same things she does.

I could continue, but I'm not going to waste anymore time on this terrible movie.
