Dumplin' (2018)
9/10
It you want warm feel good vibes this is perfect
9 December 2018
Full disclosure, I have not read the book so I saw the movie with virgin eyes and zero expectations. If you're looking for a deep, insightful comedy drama with a bunch of existential messages this is not the movie for you. If you're looking for warm and fuzzy feelings mixed with some sass and charm I recommend this movie. My belly didn't ache from laughing, but my mouth did hurt from smiling so much. If you watch enough movies and TV they all become predictable, but that doesn't have to take away from your enjoyment or the message of self love that this movie leans on. So found a comfy spot on the couch, grab some tea, and let the positive vibes flow.

Charming and On Point
15 December 2014
This film raised a point that many people want to ignore or shame. Female sexuality is represented in vastly different ways in society. We claim to be equal, but if that's the case why is it against the law for women to go shirtless and not men? It's an important example of unequal gender barriers and this movie tries to explore ways we can change those skewed views into something that benefits everyone. I fear that many people judged this movie before watching it. They shamed it without giving it a chance. If you think this movie is a free show or a gimmick, it's not. This movie is about female empowerment and women owning their bodies. It is about the everyday ways women are undermined by outdated and unfair laws. It is about trying to generate change and how sometimes you have to stand as a small group while fighting for millions.

Good Transition from Comic to Movie
22 July 2011
Followed comic origins almost to a tee with subtle changes that fit the direction the movies are going. Graphics were on par, some moves were cheesy but fun to watch none the less since it's what he does in the comics. This is a back story, so everything is not blowing up for no reason and it has major focus on WWII because that's Capt's beginning. A few parts may drag for people who don't read comics. Otherwise I think Chris Evans did a fantastic job as Steve Rogers and Tommy Lee Jones along with the rest of the cast added laughs in appropriate parts. The Red Skull played by Hugo Weaving was perfectly matched for the part. Sexual tones are kept to kisses and side long glances while language is mild at most so this is a film the whole family can enjoy.
