L. C.

Nothing to write home about honestly. I think some of these reviews tend to hype this movie up, I guess because of the nostalgia. It's not bad but not great either. It's just basically about a bunch of kids working in a record store, nothing else really happens. You don't really get much of a backstory on the characters, nor do you really see them change throughout the movie. Nothing major happens either. Overall it's one of those movies that's easy to watch if you don't feel like watching something with a crazy or intense plot.

Watched the first episode but could get myself to finish the other episodes. The first few minutes were interesting but then I slowly started to lose interest from there. The characters and their dialogue are very cringey and seem juvenile. Most of the plot doesn't seem realistic either. The editing is kind of strange. It will cut to past events while in the present instead of showing the events in chronological order. I understand they are trying to show the film in a unique way, but it can be a bit confusing. I am pretty disappointed by this show and it definitely wasn't what I thought it was.

Loved watching this documentary. It felt so exclusive to see all that goes into building a fashion show for Dior. Watching it, you got to see mostly from the designer's perspective but some of the workers perspectives as well. You could feel the emotions of all the people behind the show and I honestly felt stressed for them at times. Loved seeing the thought process, creativity, and craftsmanship behind the designs throughout the documentary. Seeing that made the fashion show even more satisfying and exciting to watch. 10/10 intriguing, lovely, and exciting.

I was on the fence about this movie at first but I watched it a few more times and it started growing on me. Loved the cinematography and the sets. It's one of my favorite things about this movie. I really felt immersed in their surroundings. The characters may not be the best but I think the actors were awesome. It was less romantic and more like a drama/comedy for me. It was entertaining to watch these toxic characters slowly get worse with time while interacting with each other. If you have ever sat back with some popcorn and watched a toxic couples demise in real life, that's what it felt like. All of the characters were pretty much a trainwreck but I think that's part of this movies charm. Though I wish it would have ended slightly differently, I appreciate the fact that it wasn't something you'd typically expect. I usually hate rom coms but this one both suprised me and entertained me. I'm not the biggest fan of Julianne's choices and motives but honestly, all of them are trainwreck so I can't be mad at her alone. Michael honestly wasn't much better haha. Overall the movie is still entertaining, even if you don't particularly like the characters. If you are completely stuck traditional rom coms though, this may not be for you. I definitely recommend giving it a watch if you are looking for something different!

The people at Rotten Tomatoes always got to have a stick up their butt don't they? They act like they are so high and mighty and so above such a movie like this. Yeah, it's not the pinnacle of comedy but it definitely doesn't deserve a 5%. I think it was silly and fun. I wasn't rolling on the floor laughing the entire time but it did have me giggling. Wasn't big on the musical parts. It felt more like a kids movie to me, especially with the musical scenes, but it wasn't so intolerable that I couldn't watch it. Overall, it wasn't bad and I think it would be a good family movie.

I knew going in that I probably wasn't going to like this movie but I wanted to give it a try anyway. I have watched a few other movies that JLo did in the 2000's and I enjoyed those but this one... This one does not do her justice. First of all the plot felt very rushed. I was hoping there was going to be more depth for the characters, especially in the beginning. If there is any 'depth' to the characters, it's rather passive. Like how Charlie lost his mother and divorced his previous wife but shows no real emotion to that at all? He just seems kind of "meh" about it all even though those are some pretty substantial things. I agree with some of the other reviews that it didn't seem like there was a lot of chemistry between Kat and Charlie. Though I'm not a fan of Matthew McConaughey, I think he might have actually been a better fit for the role of Charlie. The only reason I say that is because I've seen him and JLo in The Wedding Planner and they seemed to have more chemistry than this. Let's not forget the infamous "Church" song in the beginning either. I'm not Catholic so I'm not personally offended but it was just... strange. When I go to sit down and watch what I think is going to be a sweet rom com, then suddenly I see a bunch of ladies dressed up as half naked dancing nuns... I can't say that's something I really expected. But hey, that's just me. Dancing nuns aside, unfortunately the overall movie felt very manufactured and like one big advertisement. The songs sounded overly produced. I know JLo has talent when it comes to music so this really surprised and disappointed me. It also just felt like one product placement or advertisment after another. It was really awkward at times. I think it had the potential to be a lot more interesting than it was and in my opinion, this movie definitely didn't live up to the hype.

I remember when I saw that this movie was going to be showing in theaters a few years ago. I'm not a JLo superfan by any means but I really liked some of the rom com movies she did back in the 2000's. I wanted to go see this since I liked her other movies but it ended up being gone before I had the chance to see it. I was excited when I saw that the movie was available to stream now but after watching it... I'm kind of glad I didn't pay movie ticket prices for this. First of all, though I don't think I'm this movie's target audience (I'm 21), I liked the plot idea and I thought it was unique. I just don't think it was very well executed. It did have me laugh here and there but aside from that, I was having trouble paying attention throughout the movie. It just seemed rushed and not very fluid. There were several plotholes as well. I know rom coms tend to be unrealistic but in some parts of the plot, it was a little too unrealistic if you know what I mean? It was just to the point where certain things didn't make sense or it was very easy to predict. It sucks because I think this storyline really had potential but unfortunately, it just wasn't there for me.
