Lift (I) (2024)

A film that doesn't take itself too seriously

[8/10 · 19 January 2024]

We really enjoyed this film, and it's worth giving a chance. It's refreshing to see Kevin Hart play a new type of roll. The cast is an interesting mix of actors and for me it worked. Yes, there were times I could predict what was going to happen but I don't think that's a bad thing, and there were still things I didn't see coming.

Sam Worthington's character story didn't make sense, like was he a good guy or bad? I liked some of the heist actors and hope this film is a jumping N off point for their careers. Ignore the bad reviews and make up your own mind about it. You get what you put into any experience in life.

One Big Happy (2015)

Cute Cast, Weak Show

[4/10 · 25 March 2015]

I thought I would like this but after suffering through the first episode and some of the second, I decided it's not strong enough to pass time each week in front of the boob tube. Even Ellen Degeneres producing this couldn't make it funny.

The rhythm is off that the actors wait for the joke's payoff, and the joke's aren't always funny or worth the wait. I don't believe Elisha as an overly organized lesbian, or her relationship with Nick Zano as her roommate/best friend/baby daddy. Kelly Brock is OK I guess, but I don't believe her chemistry with Nick Zano's character. The friends are funny, little bit players that add dimension to a very flat show.

Cute cast but not enough to carry this sitcom. Bummer. I miss the days of really solid sitcoms on network TV.
