Funny, bittersweet in places, coming-of-age movie. I’m not sure the comparison with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or Superbad are well made, but I enjoyed the film and its great cast. I give this film 7.5/10.0.

Strong start, first 10 minutes the most violent I have seen in a movie, and I started watching in the VHS days when a 12 year old could rent anything! It heralded a downward spiral for the movie though, the violence giving way to a nonsense mythicism about the “high table”, and the mixing of Yakuza, Mafia and Russian Bratva...

Better than other MCU films I’ve seen, and funny and touching in places, but still a bit pants. They are all the same… I give this a “meh” score of 6.0/10.0

Great fun, well cast. Seth Rogan and Charlize Theron work surprisingly well with each other. Laugh out loud funny at times, and always light-hearted, it is well written and well paced, and keeps you entertained the entire, madcap way through. A well deserved 8.5/10.0

Bittersweet, light-hearted love story set amidst the tribulations of the German occupation of Guernsey. Lovely film, well cast. I give this 7.5/10.0

As I watched this movie I couldn’t help but think this would be the Stephen King book adaptation that would be awesome, after so so many terrible films. This is one of my favourite Stephen King books. I know both Carrie’s were great, and The Shining, but generally Stephen King adaptations are terrible. So, there I was, sat there enjoying...

A fast-paced, funny, and fun movie. Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon were great, and it was fun to see Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) in a role that doesn’t require a kilt. 😀 I give this film 7.5/10.0

A movie of two halves: the first was tense, scary, paced well; the second half was a mad jumble of incoherent nonsense, as if the director got bored halfway through and abandoned the script. The contrast with his previous outing, Get Out, couldn’t be more clear. This is a poor follow-up, instantly forgettable. I give this movie 2.0/10.0

This was great fun. Starring the excellent Zachary Levi, who is a very engaging, entertaining actor, in a feel good movie in the old school way: funny, exciting, madcap, uplifting. I give this this a well-deserved 7.5/10.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Melissa McCarthy is excellent, and Richard E Grant is his usual larger than life self. A little bittersweet, and more about loneliness than I expected, extremely well paced and well written, with great supporting actors. I give this film 8.5/10.0
