Becky (2020)
Top 10 Bottom
If they chose me to participate in a focus group screening for this film, I would have suggested they scrap the project altogether, or find a new screen writer, director, and cast. I only watched it all to see if it will get any worse. The fiancé, her son, and the dogs were at best ok, their roles weren't that prominent in the film, they did ok. Kevin James was not convincing at all. Becky's character was annoying AF, making it very difficult to sympathize or have empathy towards her. Her screening was like fingernails on a chalkboard. If that's how the director wanted her character to be, then she did a good job of portraying it. It wasn't even remotely realistic, and I tend to afford movies with embellishing some but only if it's entertaining. This movie was not. It was so bad in so many ways I felt compelled to write about it. I mean come on, these were supposed to be hardened criminals. The way Becky "tricked" them was ridiculous and the bad guys, solidly built were easy pray. Kudos to the gasoline scene, that was creative and inventive but the result was also ridiculous. Just a bad film.
The Duff (2015)
Pleasantly Surprised
The TiVo guide rates this movie only 1 1/2 stars, so I wasn't expecting much. Nothing else was on so I decided to give it a shot and figured it might help me sleep. I don't typically watch anything involving high school students because I find most plots, or lack of, annoying or the characters irritating. Not so for this movie. It was a quirky, funny movie that had me smiling and laughing. The actors, none of whom I am familiar with, seemed to have been perfectly cast for their role. Sure, you knew where this was headed, but even so it was a fun ride to the end. I might watch it again just for the fun of it and catch expressions and gestures that I might have missed.
Maid in Manhattan (2002)
Fun Movie!
Tivo recorded this as a suggestion, which surprised me because I don't watch many romance movies. I decided to watch, even though it was rated 2 1/2 stars, so I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasently surprised as to how much I enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. I want bored at all and thought the background cast were as good as the main actors and characters. Sure, there were some goofy characters and scenes, but were entertaining and funny. I really liked this movie and will watch it again, which is rare for me. Jennifer Lopez is absolutely beautiful, stunning at times, and played this role exceptionally well, as did the other main characters.
Anomaly (2016)
Unwatchable
I am not one to publicly trash something, but I don't want people to waste money or time that can be better spent elsewhere, so I am doing this kind of like a public service thing. I was 22 minutes in before I gave up. The first thing I noticed was poor acting, unbelievable characters, and just really bad dialogues. I kind of got that sense right away and the 2nd thing was the awful camera work and editing. The acting is so bad though, please forgive me should any of them read this, but good luck next time. There is really nothing positive I can say, at least about the first 22 minutes. Sorry guys.
