See You in Valhalla (2015)
Strange movie, a bit of a mess.
I started watching this and eleven minutes in, couldn't take much more of it. Then I decided I should give it another chance, since I really hadn't. It started to get a little better, then just got weird. The ending was so bizarre, no spoiler here...I just felt awkward for the actors having to pull off the scene. It was almost as they knew "this is crap", but did their best. Sarah Hyland was pretty good in it, the acting was fine but the writing was all over the place. It was almost like they were making it up as they went along. It was hard to relate to, and I have a pretty strange family myself. Not to be unkind, but spend your time doing something else.
Afternoon Delight (2013)
I was pleasantly surprised
When I clicked on this movie on Netflix, the title and the poster art made it seem like a light, silly film. While watching I realized it was dramatic and had a lot of layers to it. I really enjoyed it and the acting was amazing. I'd only seen the lead as a quirky supporting actress in films, never the lead. It was quite refreshing to see her in a different light and watch her go through every emotion. I fell in love with the husband, will be googling him for sure! He played his part really well. It probably could have used a bit more humour in the film but as a drama, it was well done. There was one awkward scene where I really felt for the characters. Kind of like, we've all had that moment in our lives that we regret and do not define us. I'm not sure how others felt about this movie but I feel it is worth a watch.
