Very… interesting. I love Ralph F. He’s so smooth. And Kate W. I’d amazing. A little off- putting because a grown woman and a 15 yo boy hook up. He thinks it’s love. It’s mostly sex. A lot of nudity so some people may be offended. No spoilers. I’ll just say this is Kate Ws finest emotional work.

SPOILERS BEWARE This movie rips out every emotion you have and will make you question your beliefs- all of them. The lamb is conceived on Christmas, which is representative of Jesus- the virgin mother, the touch of a higher power, which represents our standard religious beliefs- we put much faith in tall tales and stories, lore. We follow the boring, drab and unloving lives of the married couple. They simply exist, like so many other people. Enter the bright white lamb- child, who creates love with her innocence, sweetness, but who questions her place in life. Like any minority- where does she belong? But, like ALL of us: where does she belong? Enter evil ( her uncle) who represents doubt, anger, fear, prejudice, but is turned with the lamb's purity. But then we learn the ultimate lessons: 1. you cannot keep what is not yours, no matter how hard you try to make it your own. 2. A square peg can never fit into round holes. 3. Pretendung only lasts so long. 4. Happiness is fleeting. I absolutely loved this movie. I believe you must be cerebral and an old soul to understand the messages.

Gal Gadot is so beautiful it's difficult to look past anything else. I felt cheated here. The hype, the long wait, and the anticipation - and it was a letdown. The musical score and visuals were wonderful; it's a beautiful movie. I liked the story behind the bad guy- how he came to be, his motivation, his reasons. The cheetah costume was ridiculous. Christian W's dialogue is lame- as if not much thought was put into it. While she did what she could with the character, it wasn't " there." Chris Pine cannot act. A better actor would have given the movie some UMPH. I gave 3 stars because of Gal. Otherwise, would've been a 3.

While some of the characters may seem to initially be cardboard cutouts, keep watching! You have to pay attention. The characters are real enough. And the emotions are real enough. We're remin the world is not a perfect place. Not everything is what it seems. I don't want to give away spoilers so will leave it at that. If the Oscars and award shows weren't so political and rigged, the lead actor "JoJo," and Scarlett J. Would both walk away wth "Best." So would this picture. Too cutesy, a feel-good movie? No. Funny? If we couldn't laugh sometimes, we'd lose our minds.
