Dear Edward (2023)
Yawn
Could be so much more but it is a real snooze fest. Acting is really good but there are too many characters and too many plot lines. I wish they focused on just a few instead of so many - most aren't even that interesting.
The biggest mystery is why I keep expecting it to get better. Soundtrack is good. Not sure what else to say but except maybe just read the book instead. I really wanted it to be better but sadly it is not that great.
It means well but does not land and I think again not worth the time. Might have been better as a movie focusing on just a few characters and story lines. Shrinking is great though - watch that one!
Draft Day (2014)
Cheesy and predictable but fun
Don't expect too much and this movie can be kind of fun. It's got a pretty strong cast of actors and you could probably guess the plot within a few minutes but lean in - it's a like big bowl of buttery popcorn.
Despite all the predictable plot lines it's well acted and the cinematography is excellent. You can't help but hope that Kevin Costner can turn the Browns into title town 2.0.
Enjoy it for what it is. Chadwick Boseman (R. I. P) is great. Costner is well..Costner. Jennifer Garner is solid. Add in a sprinkle of Dennis Leary, Terry Crews, Frank Langella, and a personal favorite Kevin Dunn.
