chicating: I have a new dragon (Default)
[personal profile] chicating
but if they did, scenery aside-- Bali is freaking beautiful, obvs, and for a few minutes the Clooney-Roberts feuding parent snark isn't terrible) but overall, that movie would be "Ticket to Paradise" Because for over an hour and a half, people move around, and see stuff, and tell people they love each other and "No hard feelings"etc, but nothing happens. A young promising legal grad decides an associate's life's not for her? Why? Is it just about the impossibly sweet Balinese guy with the exotic family that doesn't partake in shenanigans cause they don't speak English? Is it because she doesn't like being like her parents?(Could be either, but the movie doesn't decide or something.) And of course Fiance is everything he says he is and grows sustainable kelp.(Which is cool, but I finally know what it means when a note says that a story "lacks tension" because it's better for a wedding movie when you get a feeling about why the knot is untied besides "it isn't time yet." Can't recommend this one, except for the sights and to kill time, even knowing that, easing out of a pandemic, maybe nobody was up for a Norman Lear family fight-fest. Or, you know, I actually really like "Better Things" but I *have* had to turn it off because Pamela Adlon is really good at writing about the stuff that mothers and daughters really argue about.
