The J Team (2021)
It's Cute...For a kids movie
Yes it's formulaic, and yes you can probably predict the ending within the first half hour of the movie. But it's cute and really is it such a bad thing to have multiple movies telling kids it's a good thing to be unique. The songs are pretty good actually and the dancing is really well choreographed. It's not winning any awards but if you want to watch a lighthearted movie that you don't have to think too hard about the plot of it's good for that.
Lost Girl: Original Skin (2011)
One of the Best
This is one of my favorite episodes of any show. I routinely quote this episode and it's one of the few that I go back and re-watch even when I'm not going through and re-watching the whole show. The actors do such an amazing job of being body switched that it feels like they've actually inhabited each other's bodies.
The Prom (2020)
Not The Musical
I really loved the stage version of The Prom. This movie does a pretty good job at doing the story justice. Overall I really liked it but I had my issues with it, the whole story line with Barry needing to let his mother back into his life kind of glorifies forgiving toxic people just because they're family, that story line could have been left out and they could have focused more on Emma and Alyssa's relationship, the whole story revolves around them wanting to go to prom together but they don't get nearly enough screen time on their own, much less together. The other problem I had was the fact that a couple of the songs are cut before their over and they sound off, like their cut in the wrong place, and maybe I'm just too used to the Broadway versions of the songs but it didn't work. Despite what this review might seem like I really enjoyed this movie because I never actually got a chance to see the Broadway show live and with Broadway and theatres everywhere still shut down I may never get to see the staged version. So many people can't afford to see live theatre and making this movie gives them a chance. Overall, it's a good movie but, I wish a few things were different.
Black Beauty (2020)
A cute modern retelling of a classic story.
Obviously being set in the modern day there are differences from the book, but that means that it's not just another remake. It's not the most factual when it comes to horses, but it doesn't need to be, it holds it's own as a horse movie. The biggest problem I had was the unnecessary forced romantic subplot, it would have been a good movie on it's own without the romance. It wasn't the best movie ever, but it was pretty good and a cute family movie.
