Recommendations:
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, despite the fact that some may argue I shouldn’t have. The comedy sprinkled throughout the film really tickled my funny bone. And let me tell you, my sense of humor is often questioned on this platform, so this is a rare gem for me.
Now, don’t get me wrong, this movie isn’t a laugh riot from start to finish. But there are definitely some moments that had me chuckling. The writing and directing are top-notch, with one scene in particular standing out to me. Lopez is sitting there, eyeing the phone, clearly contemplating calling Catch. The camera pans down to the phone, really selling the moment. And just as you think she’s about to make the call, there’s a knock on the door – and who else but Catch himself shows up. It was a clever, creative twist that I absolutely loved.
Overall, this movie is a winner in my book. It’s the kind of film you can enjoy with the whole family, and it’ll leave you feeling good. So grab some popcorn, settle in, and get ready for a delightful movie night.
