Rent: Live (2019)
I actually loved it..
Considering what we watched was from their dress rehearsal and not the actual live performance they were expecting, I thought it was fantastic. I expected Jordan Fisher and Vanessa Hudgens to be amazing and they did not disappoint. Who I was most impressed with though was Tinashe.. I wasn't expecting that performance out of her. Overall I loved it.
Downsizing (2017)
I made an account just for this review.
My husband and I saw this available on Redbox and thought hey, that seemed pretty good when it first came out.. let's give it a go.
Boy were we wrong.
The first 30 minutes was actually pretty captivating. I was intrigued on how they were going to make a so called "comedy" about the solution to fix the human race's problem with destroying the Earth as we know it. So yeah, I'll give it that - I'll give it the first 30 minutes.
After that, I felt like I was watching two separate movies because it completely ditched the solution - "downsizing" and went in a completely different direction. A direction I didn't quite understand. Now I'm not saying I'm a movie critic, expert or even a IMDB pro but I feel like I should at least be able to understand the premise of this movie.
At one point, I looked to my husband who was completely uninterested as he was looking at his phone and said "I need you to pay attention so maybe you can explain what is happening". Not a good sign.
Bottom line is: this movie wasn't even worth the $1.75 I paid at Redbox to rent it. The silver lining is I didn't pay $7-$8 to see it in theater.
