Family Switch (2023)
Thank God for Emma Myers
If not for Emma Myers and her likability, I would not have been able to sit through this regurgitation of an over-used plot. It is so obviously a desperate reboot of so many other movies that they actually make fun of that fact in one scene. The acting is horrible and the writing is worse. I actually feel sorry for Emma, as I think she had a promising career ahead of her; this movie may, unfortunately, be the exclamation point at the end of the career of everyone involved. I can honestly say I have never seen a worse movie than this (and I have seen "Major Payne"), but what I can't get past is that I have never seen such little effort put into something in my life. It's like an intern was given the chance to make a movie, but only had 48 hours to put it together. The only explanation I can think of is that someone influential was trying to do a favor for a talentless hack of a family member and dragged everyone down in the process.
Walker: Independence (2022)
Entertaining but...
Some of the acting is lacking; especially that of Katie Findlay. All of the actors are passable with that one exception. She seems like a modern day California resident trying to fit into the 1800's. Actually, no; it doesn't seem like she's trying at all. She's just terrible in this role to the point that I'm guessing she must be related to a producer. Beyond her seriously lacking performance, I find myself pleased to find an original series set in the old west. While certainly not bringing home a shelf full of awards, the story is intriguing and the plot continues to build with each passing episode.
