I’ve always been a fan of Zendaya and almost everything she’s been apart of, so I was a bit biased going in. I had some high expectations. I think some parts of the movie were great and I think a lot of other parts of the movie just didn’t flow well. I was invested in the beginning and I enjoyed the tennis playing music as-well as when there was a heated relationship moment between any of the three main characters that same tennis music played. But there were definitely times when they played that music and I thought they had overdone it. The main issue I had with the music, that I’ve had yet to hear anyone write about is the weird Church choir music that plays at really weird moments. There was a scene on a beach with cheesy piano and it didn't match the elevation of the movie or the moment. Another scene when Tadashi hurt her knee, A devastating and important moment for the movie and she learns she can’t play like she did before the injury, I was so invested in her grief till the second they played weird choir music. Took me out to the moment and made the whole thing look silly to me. Aside from the music, I kinda liked the uncomfortable dynamic between the three main characters being that the whole concept was Tadashi loved how tennis made her feel. How the dynamic of two people who can match each-others passion have a relationship during a game. I liked that there was a connection between the two men aswell not just being obsessed with the looks of Tadashi. But again, it’s another thing I think they should have done more subtlety. My understanding is that the point of Tadashi switching between the men was because she never loved either of them. She loved adrenaline and thrill so, for the majority of her life she used tennis as a way to live out thrills. Which she then began doing thew the two men in the movie. As for the explicit scenes, a lot of them make sense because of Tadashis character being a thrill seeker but the locker room with the dicks and butts floating about had no relevance to the plot. Too me, that seemed like the director needed to fit nudity in somewhere so they just thew it in with no context. Lastly, by the end of the movie my head was spinning from all the time jumps. I’m not sure what importance they had for the plot itself. I started getting a little bit more and more annoyed seeing a “time amount earlier” pop up just because it seemed like it happened soo many times. All in all, I really liked the end I think it had the most actual tennis playing and the most tension during the game. I liked the slow motion combined with the music up to a point. Then after that point there was a bit too much slow motion and a bit too much dripping sweet. Basically, most of the good things I enjoyed about this movie were taken to all extremes making it not as enjoyable as I was expecting.

Episode aired in 2020 S47 E7 they did frog legs and there were 2 white, 1 Asian (I think) and 1 black women. They eliminated the black women cook immediately because her food was too oily when the other white girl cook had served undercooked, RAW frog leg. I felt as though they didn’t have a good reason to eliminate the black women, they just put her on for diversity and then got rid of the the first chance they got. No longer makes the show about the food… ruins the whole concept.
