Trading Places (1983)

Overrated

[7/10 · 7 January 2021]

Is it good? Sure. is it great? Not really.

It has some really funny moments ( particularly dan aykroyd as Santa) but over all the pacing is off and the vibe of this movie isn't cohesive. I think the blues Brothers did better job personally

Love at First Sight (1977)

You cant help but love the main couple

[7/10 · 7 November 2020]

This was a sweet movie, what it lacks in plot it makes up for in charm. The low budget and lack of a real sound track, add to this. It feels like your watching your high school's two geeky awkward kids finally start dating, and it is just unbelievably sweet.

In some ways this is just like every other low budget easy comedy made during this time, but the couple of shirley and Roy give it a new tenderness. Slow in some parts sure, but theres a strong realness to this movie. It plays out like how you imagine your parents meet, a fantasy sure, but based on something that you yourself know to be very true.

Consensus: sweet, real, and only an hour and 20 minutes

If you like this movie I recommend Rosalie goes Shopping
