Damn! What a wonderful surprise!

In the first few minutes of this one, I thought we'd really made a mistake choosing it. I was thinking... "Damn. And hour and a half to go!"

And then, it got GREAT. The movie turned a corner and went from silly, sophomoric fluff to something entertaining, intriguing, funny, and wonderful.

The twisted tale was funny, and quite moving. The house? Well that was fantastic!

I've watched The Barbie Movie, Oppenheimer, and Maestro. This is a lighter movie, to be sure, but I thought the performances of Zachery Quinto, and Lucas Gage were as good as the any Best Actor nominee this year. I really enjoyed Everything, Everywhere All at once. But if you ask me, Jaime Lee Curtis had nothing on Judith Light's supporting actor role performance in this movie.

As absurd as the events in this movie were, the actors and director pulled it off so well as to make it believable and entertaining. And even moving. 👍🏻👍🏻
