There is such an abundance of terrible films lately. Either no story to speak of, or an ok idea but executed extremely poorly. Most of them feel like money laundering schemes instead of films.
But every now and then, there is still one that gives me hope, and shows that some people still know how movies should be made.
I enjoyed And Mrs from start to finish, I shed some tears, got angry, and laughed very hard. The story, as simple as it was, kept me engaged, the humour was alive and mostly adorable, and Aisling Bea felt very genuine, carrying the movie with ease.
Was it a perfect movie? Not by a long shot. There's a long list of movies that I love with a passion and think they are better than this one. Not every movie needs to be The Shawshank Redemption or Steel Magnolias. This one, I probably would not watch every weekend, but I sure had fun watching it once, and probably would give it another go some time later.
