Pace: 10
At just 82 minutes, the movie feels even shorter. It flows smoothly from scene to scene without ever feeling rushed. Director Jeremy Teicher does a phenomenal job of time-management and making you feel a connection in such a short amount of time.

Plot: 10
A part of what makes the story pop so well is how different they made the two main characters. They drive and move the story so smoothly because of their constant conflict. The concept is also very original as well.

If you’re looking for a cute love story that’s not over-the-top sappy, Olympic Dreams is definitely the way to go. I didn’t enter the movie with very high expectations but I ended up absolutely loving it. Nick Kroll and Alexi Pappas are magic together.

Mrs. Fletcher is okay for a light read. It's about a single mother in her mid-40's that is adjusting to life as an empty nester. She decides that she should use the time to regain some of her life, so she enrolls in a course at the local community college that meets one evening a week, after work. She meets a small group of very different personalities, which become friends throughout the course. She also explores the very personal and intimate side of her life while she is alone. The novel is laced with lighthearted humor all the way through, but a few of the characters are spoiled or polarizing, so it's easy to feel annoyed with them. She finds a side to her that she didn't know or at least, remember, was there. It's a cute story at times, but kind of over-the-top and self-indulgent for some characters at other times. Fine for a light read, but I won't be recommending it for book club or to certain friends. I could take it or leave it.
