Quiz Lady (2023)
Am I crazy ... or does this movie stink
I am not sure if I saw the same movie as everyone else. The user and critic reviews seem to be going out of their way to heap praise on this turkey - and I just don't get it.
Oh and Awkwafina are both playing against type and it didn't work for me at all. The film looks colorless and flat. Scenes go on and on searching for laughs but few are there to be found. There is a heartfelt component to this movie, but by the time we arrived at that plot my goodwill towards the film had run out.
I wanted to like this. I am a fan of both of these leads and they have done excellent work in the past. But this is a huge miss.
Also, how could that dog possibly still be alive?
Renovate to Rent (2013)
These Bozos Have Terrible Taste
As a married man, I have been sentenced to a life of watching HGTV renovation shows. They are all pretty much the same: a property is purchased, renovation begins, an unexpected delay must be overcome, the property is rented. The same can be said about Renovate to Rent, but unlike all the other hosts of these types of shows, Drew and Danny have terrible taste.
Bright blue kitchens, puke green bathrooms, tacky tile, cheap finishes ... all bad. Every episode begs the question: "How do they think that looks good?"
But every time an episode ends, I race to fire up the next one. I can't wait to see what stupid design decisions they make next.
