I Want You Back (2022)
Slate & Day for the win
Solid rom-com that's heavy on the com. Definitely some cheese but that comes with the territory. Has some Forgetting Sarah Marshall vibes. I laughed to the point of tears several times. There's something about break up movies that is just so relatable. I think Jenny Slate & Charlie Day can be a bit overpowering in some roles but they complement each other perfectly in this film & I thoroughly enjoyed their performance. Yes, the ending is a bit cringe but the alternative was an unhappy ending. Instead they tied back to a theme from earlier in the flick & managed to pull it off. I see myself watching this again & likely even purchasing at some point.
Outlander: Wilmington (2018)
Final scene ruins the show
Don't ignore the rating at the beginning of the episode. It says rape scene and it means it. I realize you should be used to this now given the 1st season prison scene. But this one is worse. Breanne is helpless. Nobody comes to her rescue despite the screams. It's unbearable. I turned it off mid-scene and I'm not sure I can continue watching. I get the point but why go to that level? At some point it's just shock theater. I don't need those kinds of images in my mind & now they're stuck there forever.
