Would I Lie to You? (2022)
Watch only if you enjoy having your nails pulled out of your hand
I'll make it quick because this show doesn't deserve much commentary.
British version - 10 stars.
American version - 1 star (only because you can't give 0 stars.
It is painful to watch; please stop it.
Shannon's Rainbow (2009)
A Fair Effort
While the acting was not Oscar winning, it was competent. It was nice to see Louis Gossett Jr. back in movies though to think this was Charles Durning's last movie makes one wince. Make no mistake, the movie is predictable. For those who love racing, they will like the movie provided they can deal with the artistic changes to conform to time constraints. The race scenes were very good.
My problem comes with some of the editorial decisions. I winced at a couple of scenes which may be considered rough for those sensitive to animal rights and children. The movie didn't fully develop some of the back stories of the trainers.
The movie is promoted as being family friendly. I would suggest Amazing Racer is not a movie for those under ten or sensitive to animal abuse (simulated).
A movie to rent, not to own.
