Jafar, just not malevolent

Not great, not terrible

So Aladdin came in for some possibly unjustified criticism when the trailers dropped and Will Smith was introduced as Genie, that though seriously is not the worst of the film.

The animated movie Jafar is evil, cunning and has the air of malevolence with every word he utters, in the live action, he's well, not, throughout the film he comes across weak, so that air just isn't there.

That though sad to say is not the worst, Jasmine and Aladdin, just no chemistry making the more romantic scenes more than a little painful to watch.

While kids will watch it and love the colorful genie, the parents will be fondly remembering the animated movie.

The Hero and Heroine have a romantic bliss and after 9 months. The heroine show up on Falco Cruise ship Line. The Tycoon finds out that the every bottom of the ship is rented or bought and he does not want that to be there it was to be blocked off.

Jenna Baker does find a friend with a couple on the cruise ship. Things get a little complicated on the ship when she find out about her belonging have been moved and where they been moved to. This is some kind of strange but lovely story about their love. Though it does turn to the twins once Nick finds out he a father. When to know the how it ends, you are going to need to read it for yourself.

A little over the top by the end (0 more)

Surreal Horror

This intrigued me after seeing mixed reviews and I guessed that it was going to be something very different to the norm. The problem with films like this is they can be misleading. It starts like a drama, then takes what you think might be in a romantic film direction and then flips it on its head to become something entirely different. I didn't mind that as I had an idea this would have a weird twist. It ends up having several. Not a bad story and the lead characters are good actresses. Maybe the story becomes a bit too surreal by the end that it loses some credibility. If you don't take it seriously you should enjoy it more.

Love in a good form

I loved the book that this movie is based on so, so much. It was one of the best books that I read in 2018 along with it's sequel Leah on the Offbeat. And this was one of the best movies that I saw in 2018. The acting is superb and it's so relevant to today's society and culture with the pop culture references of Harry Potter, Brendon Urie, and even a Hamilton Easter Egg which I enjoyed. It also touches your heart and has a lot of themes to do with family at the very core and learning to let people see you for who you really are

the queer rom-com we’ve needed!!

This film was so cute. Equal parts cheesy, romantic, funny, and queer. The hardest part about LGBTQ+ movies is where they fall on a stereotypical line or whether or not they’re coming out stories or coming of age stories - all of which have importance some places. But what we’ve desperately needed for so long is a queer story that is just about love and the characters just happen to be queer.

LGBTQ+ love isn’t any different than heterosexual love. Everyone wants that connection, that passion, that person to come running home to. This movie is that, and so much more. Jake Borelli is amazing and definitely someone to keep an eye out for. I can’t wait to see what he does next.
