" I’m a sucker for a good romantic comedy and this one hit all the right notes. Super fun, fantastical and over the top in the best possible way. Henry Golding is the best Rom Com male lead since Hugh Grant."

Warning: This is an outright comedy
Before I read any reviews on this film, I thought it was a thriller, and the trailer sold it as a sort of Gone-Girl-Girl-on-the-Train-esque film. Then I read one review, which warned that it was comedy, and the comedic elements outweighed everything else.
Anna Kendrick's character is slightly insufferable for me in the beginning, the 'mommy vlogger', but she was a perfect contract to Blake Lively's character. Henry Golding was great, and I didn't mind looking at him for nearly 2 hours.
The end was bananas, and not in a particularly good way, because it was messy. On the bright side, this is the first Paul Feig movie I'll be able to watch again.

I didn't think this was a comedy either!

Right! I'm glad I read the review from Birth.Movies.Death or I think I would have been really annoyed not to have had a warning that it was a comedy.

An origin film for Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe World. Not sure if this is a new version as it's quite different to the flash back scenes in the previous G.I. Joe films showing these characters?
It's an easy watch with some good fight scenes, plenty of sword fights and some great stunts. Visually impressive often feeling like you are in the thick of the action.
It does get a bit over the top at some points but not one with a detailed plot.
Henry Golding is a good actor and it's a pity Samra Weaving didn't have more screen time. For some pure popcorn fun you can't go wrong with this.

After seeing the first preview for this film, I wasn't sure I wanted to see it, but every preview improved, and I began anticipating it. I went to the first showing I could on the day it released because I was so hyped.
I am not a rom-com movie person at all, so I was hoping I didn't end up completely hating it. BUT, it was the right combination of rom and com. All of the actors/actresses were fantastic, Constance Wu was hilarious, and now I want to see Awkwafina in as many films as possible. Gemma Chan was also really fantastic in this. Henry Golding is nice to look at, and for it being his first acting role, he did great.
The story was quickly-paced, and it didn't feel like a two hour movie. The visuals were beautiful, and I'd definitely go see it again. It may be one of my favorite movies to come out this summer.
