I wanted to like this, as I like Fortune Feimster and David Spade. Usually they are really funny! Ugh...not this time. The other girl, I can't even remember her name anymore..something Hughes? Laurie? Lauren? Lisa? Whoever she is, she was obnoxious. I'd ne er heard of her, but she had amature written all over her face with how she interrupted, yelled over guests and other hosts, shoved her British card about like it was the thing to be impressed over. She was like a 5 yr old hyped up on sugar. David Spade had cringe worthy jokes that fell flat. It felt like watching an insiders joke party constantly going on and you had no clue what they were meant to be laughing about. It was worth fast forwarding to the actual interviews and then skipping all the awkward couch talk, skits, and bad roasts/joke exchanges. I almost wished I'd not even bothered watching at all. It's darn near a total waste of your time, to be entirely honest.

Wild Witch
(2018)
How many times did they say "Wild"?

I have no idea, but if it was a drinking game, we would all go out with alcohol poisoning in the first 30 minutes. LOL! I am half tempted to watch it again just to get an actual tally. Otherwise? For an English dub over, what we believed to be Norwegian film, it wasn't half bad at all. A little slow, but, not bad. They did okay without having to go over the top with special effects to capture your imagination. So, I'd say, give it a watch if you want something unique.
Magic in the Moonlight
(2014)
It was anything but funny, even a little bit.

Not another bad romance movie!
I saw this movie on pay-per-view, and thought, "Oh, it's listed as a comedy. I like comedies and so does my husband." So we rented it, and settled in to watch it. It started out interesting enough, but eventually just turned into a bitter, cynical, skeptic man who elects to follow a young, pretty little psychic medium around, so he can fully disprove her. He spends pretty much 1/2 of the movie doing that. Now, given the genre of the movie, elsewhere...like on IMDb, properly lists this as a Romance, you can assume that there is a romance that blossoms within the plot.
The movie is as slow moving as molasses. Enough so that my husband fell asleep mid-movie, and I was left on my own debating if I should keep waiting to see if it has something funny in it or not, or if it's all just one long, sarcastic quipping, cynical, love story gone weird. Nope, it was exactly that. There's no real explanation for why this man is so dead set in exposing fakes as his side hobby, or why he has such malice for Gods, prayers, spiritual things, and so forth. If he ever really even tried to explain, well then I must have missed it along the way, because it was too brief or too venomous for me to have set apart from the rest of his egomania trip.
By the end of this movie, I was just shaking my head, and thinking "Thank goodness I didn't pay $40 to see this at the theater with my husband and children!" But then again, had I known, at all, that Woody Allen directed this (again, my fault for not doing research before watching a movie), I'd already known this was not going to be my cup of tea, and I'd have just elected to watch Guardians of the Galaxy on pay- per-view.
So, in short, if romance born from sarcastic, God hating, cynics is your kind of movie, then I'd highly recommend this one. Otherwise? Skip it, unless you need something to put you to sleep. Worked wonders for my husband!
