I could probably write a three word review of Jason Reitman's saccharine peach pie (significant scene!) of a movie Labor Day, and those three words would be Really?, Really?, and Really? Neither Kate Winslet's acting chops nor Josh Brolin's manly biceps could possibly save this Damsel-in-Distress-Saved-By-Ex-Convict-Prison-Escapee-and-Creepy-Adolescent-Nerd-Son melodrama that ranks up there with Autumn in New York as a movie where I both squirmed in my seat because of the lack of explicit sex (which might have saved it) and felt embarrassed for the filmmaker. Really.

Philomena
It looks like rubbish for sure, thanks for confirming that.
ReplyDeleteWhy, Kate? Why?
ReplyDeleteIt's not a movie I'd considered going to see anyway, but if the occasion should ever I arise, I'll remember this three-word review. Gracias.
ReplyDeleteouch. and I love Kate.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, I am in love with all of these reviews. Your writing does something to me. I rarely see movies. But now I am finding myself looking forward to YOU seeing them so that you can write a poignant little ditty for me to read.
ReplyDeleteYou are so effing talented. Really? Really? Really.
I suspected it was crap - thanks for the confirmation. You should get paid for this shit!
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame. Kate Winslet is such a great actress. Wonder what she was thinking when she took this part?
