    An Unexpected Gem
    I was pleasantly surprised by Unexpected, which is a good balance between Dark humor and tragedy. The film follows Bob and Amy, who are a happy couple. However, when they find out they can't have kids, they move to a run-down country farmhouse where they hire a handyman, Rupert, and his high school son, Gerard, and in the process, meet the son's eccentric girlfriend, Shirlee. Unable to have kids, Amy (Anna Camp) looks to feel that hole in her life by adopting animals while her husband struggles with depression. At the same time, Gerard and Shirlee discover a surprise of their own. I won't spoil anything, but its a cute film, even if the humor is dark at times.

    There have been a lot of movies about people who are unable to have kids. However, this one took an interesting take, and it wasn't really about adoption. Instead, I would say. This movie is about human relationship and their ups and downs. Some parts of the movie were predictable, but for the most, this was an original and unique film. There were times when I was laughing out loud, and other times I felt truly bad for the characters. Anna Camp is one of my favorite actors, and she kills it in this movie. She is so perfect for this type of role. Even if she is tired of playing the southern controlling blonde, she does it so well and kills it in every scene. The way she can go through radical mood swings is amazing. Joseph Mazzello (Tim from Jurassic Park) was a bit dry at times, but I enjoyed his character arc. And I thought the ending of the movie was both beautiful and tragic. Overall, I really enjoyed this film, and I'd recommend checking it out.
