Christmas with You (2022)
Boring, predictable, and trite
I don't think at this point anyone has high expectations for a Christmas movie, so much as 'something with Christmas decorations and an uncomplicated story to put on in the background and half-pay-attention-to while getting in the holiday spirit.' Like that very much feels like the vibe Hallmark goes for with these.
Yet even with that bar on the floor, this movie still managed to annoy.
Aimee Garcia stars in another role as... Aimee Garcia. Freddie Prinze Jr. In his role as 'cardboard cut-out that we're meant to accept as the love interest.'
The characters have all the depth of a cereal bowl. There was nothing that rendered them more than tolerable for the course of the movie. The romance was laughably unbelievable, and the main thrust of the plot was insipid.
If you're looking for background noise, this movie does a fine job of that. If you're looking for something to actually watch, though? This isn't it.
The Time Capsule (2022)
Not worth the time
The premise (middle-aged man has a 'sci-fi' reason to get in a relationship with a teenager) was gross. The movie was incredibly predictable, charmless, and forgettable.
If you want a sci-fi movie, there's so many better ones out there. The only sci-fi aspect to this was in creating a flimsy excuse for the creepy relationship to happen. It wasn't explored at all beyond that. If you want a romance, this is such an uncomfortable choice. A 'maybe Lolita would be more your speed' kind of choice. And if you want a comedy, just... watch anything else. This movie was painfully flat and took itself seriously, which was pretentious at best, given how little substance there was.
It's a waste of time.
