Lou (I) (2022)

I was pleasantly surprised

To Watch or Not to Watch?

I have become jaded over time as I feel that the quality of the average film has dropped over the years.

I must admit, I did not hold out high hopes for this movie. However, I was pleasantly surprised.

The acting was good, the music was good, as were the locations. It was great to see Janney in a different role and she excelled.

There are no great surprises here, but so what? It is a good way to pass a couple of hours of action /thriller entertainment with a couple of surprise plot twists.

I happily recommend it. It is worth the watch just so long as you keep your expectations realistic.

Light hearted fun

To watch or not to watch?

This is simply a light hearted comedy rump. There is nothing new here, but it is a pleasant way to fill a couple of hours.

Many movies call themselves Comedies, but more rarely give you more than light hearted amusement with maybe an occasional smile. While this is not a "belly-laugh" kind of film, it is more humorous than many other Comedies.

The actors do a good job and don't try to take themselves too seriously.

The concept is not for the young children, but for the older kids, It is a film that can be watched with the family without causing any offense.

A good B+ film.
