Quick Reviews That Are Light On Spoilers
- 10 Things I Hate About You. Is this 1990's Rise-of-A-Nice-Guy-romcom a timeless classic or a time capsule?
- Asteroid City What the heck is this movie?
- Babylon. The possibly real and shockingly straightforward reason for why the movie Babylon is a commercial failure (and also not as entertaining as it reasonably should have been).
- Chemical Hearts. More heavy-handed than heavy hearted.
- Definitely, Maybe My favorite Ryan Reynolds movie is definitely, maybe not Ryan Reynolds' favorite Ryan Reynolds movie.
- Fly Me to the Moon. Scarlett Johansson! I wish the writers had felt the same way.
- Get a Job - The greatest movie never released in theaters?
- How I found love despite being an IDIOT, part 2 This is not a movie, it's a YouTube video. But it's a romance story that shows how romance stories should be structured.
- Last Chance Harvey Can a socially awkward and embittered Dustin Hoffman charm a somewhat aimless Emma Thompson?
- Lust for Love. A shy-guy fantasy undermined by over-the-top characters and confusing time shifting
- My Dad's Christmas Date A teen daughter tries to find her widower dad a date for Christmas, but is that a good move, and is she up to the task?
- Napoleon. I explain why and how the movie “Napoleon” (2023) is trash. It's not about historical accuracy.
- The Good Guy. An unusual and pretty good romance movie starring Alexis Bledel.
- The Hating Game. A girlboss fantasy.
- The Only One. A beautiful little movie that pits a restless wanderer against a down-to-earth winemaker.
- The Rebound. Hear me out: Catherine Zeta-Jones.
- Twisters. An OK summer blockbuster with perfunctory romance.
