Checked out the superbly stupid Netflix original comedy Game Over, Man. It stars Adam Devine and two other guys who, I gather, have an equally silly/stupid comedy show… but with the new movie, the chains are off and they are … Continue reading
Went to a nearly packed showing of the new coming of age / teen comedy / coming out / romantic comedy Love, Simon today. For the record, based on a novel with a much better title which I have not … Continue reading
Also checked out the alleged comedy Gringo over the weekend. I say alleged comedy because the trailers said it was a comedy… and I’m not saying it tries to be funny but isn’t, I’m saying it’s only occasionally trying to … Continue reading

Checked out the mis-titled and mis-marketed movie Father Figures. This is the comedy about two brothers (Ed Helms and Owen Wilson) who find out their mother wasn’t honest with them about who their father was. Since it was the 70s, … Continue reading
