Just re-watched this movie. It has stayed with me for years after watching it upon its release. Even now, it is a luminescent and fully inhabited performance by Sally Hawkins. How can any one avoid falling in love with her character who brings, love, laughter and empathy to every human in her path. Just as powerful to her light was the masterful performance by Eddie Marsan as a dark, angry and bitter man, who despite himself is drawn into her sphere of happy irreverence. Even as Poppy encounters difficult situations she doesn’t look away from the pain and difficulty evident in those she meets, she remains deeply empathic to human suffering - even when most of us would run in fear. Instead, she stays in her heart and continues to offer us her light. She knows that she and the world need it.

Actually less entertaining than I expected. It was strangely uncomfortable to watch the emasculation of the "Kens". Def. had a bit of a woke vibe. Very pretty visually.

Really, really want to like this show more than I do. It’s a good cast, but it can’t seem to land well on either drama or comedy. Have watched first 3 episodes am hoping the chemistry between Meredith MacNeill and Adrienne Moore overcomes the script which feels derivative of so many American cop shows. Wish it had the funny, clever and loveable character development of Schitts Creek.

I tried hard to stay with this movie. Great cast: Toni Collette, Anna Farris, David Duchovny and the legendary Kathleen Turner, but……the script was just too horrible for words. Juvenile and scatalogical humour, weirdly crafted characters that were unlikeable and coarse by every measure. It made me sad to see Ms.Turner in a dumpster wreck like this. A classic pay check movie, hope they enjoyed the cash because I wasted too much time giving it a go.

This movie was a pleasant surprise! Many LOL moments. To be fair, I love Cohen Bros movies and this one didn’t disappoint. As a person born at the end of the Boomer demographic, I grew up watching the kind of movies gently parodied in this movie. A Keenly observed and recreated era when Hollywood was at its zenith. A star studded cast who seemed to be having a blast making this movie bought their combined talents for a fun movie. The photography and choreography were fantastic. Two scenes in particular, were a tour de force for the cast and crew . Tatum Channing as a Frank Sinatra type played a sailor in a musical with perfectly timed choreography and Scarlett Johansson as an Esther Williams type in the synchronized swimming scene, these alone are worth a watch. Highly recommended, especially if you just want a bit of escapist fun.

Beautiful looking leads. So many cringy scenes with an equally terrible script and acting. So hard to translate this genre from page to screen. Location as gorgeous as the Leads, 👍🏻👎🏻

A fresh take on dark comedy. Action packed, sly and engaging. Like Swiss Chalet Sauce, you’re not sure if you love it or hate it but keep dipping anyway until you’ve finished the meal. A true original.

This movie was pure fun. Don’t pay attention to the stuffy critics. Rotten tomatoes you are so wrong! Many talented actors make cameo appearances Laughed all the way through.

This movie was so real, that it felt truly like watching real lives. The acting and direction were superb. It is the kind of movie that stays with you long after watching it.
