Honestly, Orlando Bloom was such a childhood crush-- gotta watch it for him! ;p But genuinely, such a lovely review-- you have a wonderful way with words! Can't wait to read more of your recs!

Wow. Thank you for the kind words! Very much appreciate it. I kept thinking in watching Bloom in this how versatile he is with comedy. He’s a bit like James Marsden (Jury Dury, among many other roles) in that he show the pretty face and be 💯 cool with self deprecation. It’s a bit of a meta moment as I’m sure in some ways he’s typecast and people think he’s like the characters he plays and he sorta leans into this by playing an actor here

I love love love how you included a pop-culture connection section. I make connections like that all the time too! Fun to see how our brains connect disparate things...

"A welcome comedic retreat for those loA welcome comedic retreat for those looking for a light, fun, and easy watch that’s not inane and ridiculous. That’s high praise in some circles." Indeed.

One question though to ease my confusion: is it Bonnie, or Kat?

I got all fired up when I saw the title. Figured you were gonna talk about the Larry Fishburn movie from the 90s 🤣

Dre & Snoop’s song for that was amazing.

This sounds good too!!

She’s excellent in this. As the “straight person” type persona in many situations I could totally relate
