A fairly generic but not incompetent romantic comedy with a couple of likable, if not very personality laden, main characters. It got off to a wobbly start with some iffy directing which it never really overcomes, but it’s hard to … Continue reading
The Map of Tiny Perfect Things is another spin on the ol’ time loop formula. We just had the broad comedy take on the Groundhog Day classic last year with Palm Springs and this new film finds its own niche. … Continue reading
