For the Love of George (2018)

A movie with a "message"? No, but an immoral, cheesy comedy

[1/10 · 1 September 2018]

A romcom lacking immorality. This could be a really fun movie if adultery wasn't glorified. Poppy (Nadia Jordan) could have divorced first. Poppy's husband Stephen (Henry Hereford) has an adulterous affair (sad), so she moves to L.A. by chasing the unrealistic expectation of meeting, and hopefully marrying George Clooney. This entire movie is about (mostly) bad life choices, and casual adultery is "fun" and perfectly ok. If it has happened to you, then you know that it isn't. One irony is that Poppy (Nadia Jordan) who at one point has a super casual adulterous relationship with Luke (Shaun Sipos), becomes very upset when Luke suggests a threesome with Irina (Petra Bryant). We also find out that Irina, who is sexually active, also has a husband who she has left in Russia. This movie is fun, but lacks any morality whatsoever. If you are amoral (lacking morals), then this movie will be right up your alley. If you have been hurt by an adulterous relationship, this movie may be cathartic for you, or you may be surprised that such casual interpretation of something so traumatic could be so glamorized. If you're seeing this movie because of one of the following Stars, you may want to rethink, and don't FF too quickly. Marina Sirtis' 3 scenes are about 20 seconds each, Tate Donovan's is about a minute, and Kristen Johnston's is about 90 seconds
