The Resort (2022)
Talented people, disappointing product
Extremely convoluted but ultimately uneventful. Hugely disappointing, yet I give a 5 for performances and production.
The many storylines do not connect in any satisfying way, and the "mythology" of the show's universe is not developed well enough to feel engrossing or meaningful. I don't want to include spoilers because fans of the principal actors may still enjoy this. Furthermore, the Frias actor, who is new to me, is quite compelling.
I'm sad to say that I have to be more cautious about treating Sam Esmail's participation as a guarantee of quality. I respect him a lot, but I don't fully share his values on entertainment.
Like Father (2018)
Infomercial with no character development
Most disappointing movie I've seen in years, but not objectively worse than a 3. I am a fan of Bell, Grammer, and Rogen, and I had no idea they could be in a movie that is so shallow and so undeserving of its "emotional" moments. I hope Royal Caribbean paid them A LOT of money for making this infomercial.
