A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish (2019)
No one deserves this for Xmas
What a complete waste of a movie. The reasons are as follows: 1. the lead characters/actors have no chemistry (Greg Sulkin is like 30 so why is he still playing a teen?) so the entire story is practically DOA. 2. The singing is autotuned (to death) and the dance choreography is child-like (say 5 year old level). 3. The storyline is just plain mean and most of it makes no sense what so ever. Why is the lead character NEVER allowed to show any back bone or stand up for herself? 4. Having a spineless twit of a lead doesn't draw sympathy for your character it makes people start to hate her as she lets herself be constantly bullied without even having the guts to raise a finger in protest. She was useless and completely pathetic. (Example#1: Her step mother is burning the invitation like 6 inches from her. Why didn't she simply take it away instead of standing there with her big doe eyes pleading for sympathy?) 5. Making the wicked step mother and her daughters (incredibly and unbelievably) stupid does not make up for the fact that they did every horrible thing they wanted to the pour pathetic lead and what happened to them in the end? They had to leave a party. OHMIGOD how cruel of the brainless writers for putting them through that. Seriously, they break the snow globe that was an emotional connection to the girls Dad, they spend ALL of her inheritance on themselves, make her their slave and in the end NOTHING happens to them? The writers of this movie, seriously, you all should be ashamed.
But don't fear they ended it with Cinderella getting her a rich boyfriend and a new sugar daddy. Oh boy. So Christmasy! I knew going in this would be a tough watch but I never expected it to be such a complete.
Getting There (2002)
Yeh good movie
I usually just rent the movies by the Olsen's to watch them prance around in bikini's, but this movie was much better than expected. I watched it twice and for me, that doesn't happen often. Still a little to much filler towards the end, meaning no doubt they simply ran out of ideas for the script. But it was still their best movie in a long time. A good solid family movie, I'd recommend it to anyone who is tired of the "15 minute script/ One hero saves the world" dumbass action flicks. Check it out.
P.S. there's actual character developement in this movie. NO I'm not kidding.
