Strays (2023)
Must see!
I love all dog movies- the trailer made this one look vulgar with a lot of cursing and I didn't think it would be good so I skipped it at the theater. They also marketed this as not a movie for kids - it's not for young kids but preteens and older can definitely watch this. I randomly watched it on peacock today. Wow - it's a wonderful and entertaining dog movie that made me laugh and cry! Highly recommend watching this if you're a dog lover and love dog movies. The voices are spot on especially Will Ferrell - he nails the role. Hope they make a sequel! It left me wanting more of the dog gang :)
The Engineer (2023)
Disappointed
I don't get how they failed so badly with this movie. They took a bunch of brilliant actors who I have seen excel in other shows (such as Fauda) and made this movie that just doesn't work. I think the biggest mistake was having everyone (Israelis, arabs) speaking in English to each other. It takes away so much authenticity from the movie. They should have just let everyone speak in their own languages and that's it. The way they speak when it's in English just feels so fake and takes away from the acting. There's minimal character development, too little action and you don't get invested in any of the characters. This had SO much potential but utterly failed. I love movies and shows in this genre and couldn't believe the other reviews but they were spot on sadly :(
Fatherhood (2021)
Must see for kid lovers
I had high hopes for this movie as I like this genre. This superseded my expectations. Kevin Hart and the little girl were soooo good! This movie made me cry throughout (in a good way). Some commented that the story wasn't original (it's not) but the acting was SO good. It was a new take on the story of a single dad having to raise a baby on his own. Highly recommend and I can't wait to see the talented little girl in more movies!!! She has a bright future ahead of her. Also want to see Kevin hart in more roles like this - this really showed his acting range goes beyond the comedy roles we are used to seeing him in. Highly highly recommend seeing this. Wish they do a sequel when she's a teenager!
