Mike goes bust...
13 June 2023
The beginning was tantalizing. We find Mike working bartending gigs in Miami, Florida & he gets RECOGNIZED from his previous profession. Mike then gets hired for a six thousand dollar dance, which turns into a little more... The middle was a snooze fest. Mike gets whisked away to London for a sixty thousand dollar payday for a month of work doing what - he has no idea.... Turns out to be directing a dance show, to get back at an ex & his family. Which all leads to the big build up of will the show actually go on as planned? The last dance was pretty phenomenal intercut with scenes from the beginning of the film. But meh. Rewatching the original would have been more entertaining!!

Sing 2 (2021)
1/10
Well the soundtrack was good...
25 January 2023
Sing 2 oh Sing 2. Where do I start. Not better than the original - no way, no how. We saw the first film in the theater and absolutely loved it. The music was fantastic! The story not so much. I even found a few of the characters to be grating.

This is a children's film and the wolf repeatedly threatens to drop Buster off the skyscraper?!? We might have been better off if this script stayed in the drawer.

My advice would be to skip watching this film. Go and rewatch the first one. But DO listen to the soundtrack! Dance, singalong, and enjoy the tunes. Fantastic job to the folks that arranged the songs for the film.

Bless their hearts...

Beauty & the Beast themed Christmas movie. Shirtless "prince" running around, cute dog named "Beast". IsaBELLE lover of rare books & libraries. Irritating Gaston trope character Tony. It was a cute movie, but could have been much better!

Librarian & Bookmobile themed Christmas Movie!!
4 January 2021
Awesomesauce! There were definitely some things that are not realistic, but it's a movie about libraries & a bookmobile - so we'll just ignore those things.

Make sure you have tissues, I knew what was coming as soon as the mother passed out the first tim.

Bonus points for Broadway actor Jeremy Jordan.

Cute if you can suspend belief!

Bravo for Diversity!
4 January 2021
I have loved Ali Stroker since she guest starred on Glee & then she made it to Broadway in the revival of Oklahoma! Ali stars as a romance writer that is unlucky in love, but then stumbles upon a man that looks exactly like the artwork on her novels. Is this swooning hero for real? Cute holiday story!

If I Only Had Christmas (2020 TV Movie)

Loved all the Oz References!
4 January 2021
I'll admit several of the CCB movies have grated my last nerve, I swear some years they churn them out like butter! But this one was different, I actually liked it. Once I realized there were continuous references to the Wizard of Oz, it was a game to ferret them out. I would actually watch it again, because I think I missed some of the nuggets in the beginning of the film! Cute, funny. A Christmas movie experience like Where's Waldo trying to find all the Ozian Threads!

Festive Fun!
4 January 2021
Cute & Funny. Directed by Melissa Joan Hart who also cameos centers on David played by Mario Lopez as a single dad with a teenage daughter. At the urging of both his daughter & sister David begins dating with comedic results. Look for a cameo of Mario's wife as the mother that hits on him!

Better than expected...
14 December 2020
Well it wasn't as bad as I was anticipating! That said when you remove the music, plucky sidekick, & love interest you remove the heart of the movie.

The added characters didn't add anything exceptional & the ones omitted were sorely missed.

Elvis as a doctor...
12 August 2020
Then he meets undercover nuns. Gritty urban realism. Quite the departure from singing, frolicking free-wheeling Elvis from so many of his other movies!

Too much language!
10 August 2020
Caper told in a roundabout way with a whole lot of vulgar language. If that doesn't bother you dive on in! Fantastic cast, but the crass language eventually became too much for even me.

Wow. Definitely deserved the Best Picture Win at the Oscars!

Totally not what I thought it was going to be. But great, despite having to read the subtitles the whole film..

No Touchy!
28 April 2020
The internet memes that are based on the movie might just be funnier than the movie itself. I don't automatically equate David Spade with Disney kid's movie for good reason. Parts were funny, but as a whole meh. It's taken me almost 20 years to see this movie & I didn't miss much...

Horrible Writing!
21 April 2020
Abominable!

Who uses phrases like, "Off to get my cut & curl!" Let alone refer to big brother & little brother repeatedly once they are in their 30s...

Ugh. I came for the food truck themed movie...but it was mostly horrific!

Hallmark continues to go downhill swiftly..
