Love, Game, Match

 

Why?

I saw this movie on Tubi and I knew that I had to watch it. Apparently this movie is also called Putting Love to the Test. 

What in the world?

Two teachers have to work together to put on a school carnival. They are also helping two students with a dating website that they created. The students made the website and they wanted the teachers on there to have a more wide range website. 

Personal thoughts

This movie broke me. I wanted to just yell at the people in this movie and be like "Please just stop whatever you are doing. I can't take it anymore." They were very boring and the main guy made no sense. He overheard what her favorite donut was and then just took it. I don't even know why he did that it's never explained. He also thinks that whatever he does is perfection because he did it. I mean that's some pretty good confidence but still what the heck. Also he sucks with women. I'm going to be honest. He told someone he works with that he wants to keep business and personal separate but then just goes after someone he works with. That's not ok. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 4 out of 10. It's nothing special but it wasn't the worst thing I've seen in a while. The movie showed the main character going on a couple of dates but they were weird. The one guy that wasn't that bad was really strange though. He only really wanted to go to movies and she acted like that was a normal thing. That guy's personality was entirely about just watching movies. He ended up with the previously mentioned girl so I mean that's fun. The main characters were boring and they deserved each other though,

The Nature of Romance

 

Why?

I was running out of things to do so I decided to watch this movie. 

What in the world? 

A travel blog writer goes glamping (glamorous camping) with her friend and then gets stranded. She then goes on to help and fall in love with a park ranger. Oh fun fact! This movie has two equally bad names. Parked for Love and The Nature of Romance. Honestly I prefer the latter. 

Personal thoughts

I was enjoying the movie at first but then the end was just way too much. I mean the guy goes over to her house to win her back twice. Movie that's a bit excessive don't you think. The last time he had a dog so that's completely understandable. I just didn't find myself rooting for these people. So for this next part a little context. The writer wrote about a grant for the park and the guy didn't know she did that and that's where a misunderstanding spawns. He finds it and goes to her house to talk about it. They talk and he rips it up because that doesn't matter she does. She doesn't agree or something and he just hands her ripped up writing to her and says, "Can you take it? I don't want to litter." That is my favorite line from this movie.

Score

I have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. I didn't like any of the characters except for every other ranger at the park. That's only two people by the way. The two main characters were way too invested in themselves to even be enjoyable as their relationship supposedly "blossomed". Oh I almost forgot about the strangest character. His name is RV repair guy (I don't actually know his name). He shows up and instantly becomes the least likeable character for 5 minutes. I don't know why they wrote him like that but it was upsetting because he should have been a chill guy but instead he was just annoying and a plot device.

The True Story of Puss 'N Boots

 

Why?

I saw this movie while scrolling through Tubi and decided that it was a must watch.

What in the world?

Puss 'N Boots is helping his owner to woo a princess so that he can be with her forever because he loves to listen to her sing. That's about it really.

Personal thoughts

I thought the movie was really bad but I loved it. I mean it sucked and William Shatner's voice choice for Puss was very funny. Oh yeah William Shatner a very famous actor is in this movie. My favorite character, the ogre, did not get the justice that he deserved. All he wanted to do was be a swan and they denied him that one privilege. #JusticeforOgre. But the songs in this movie were very strange to say the least. I mean they were really bad. Puss singing was very bad and I hated it so much.  It was an abomination. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 6 out of 10. I hated everything about Puss and the Chamberlain were my least favorite characters. Oh I forgot to mention that the king was asleep for the whole movie. If I recall correctly, the poor king had no speaking lines. Also the jester of the movie was really confusing and his motivations were very unknown and confusing. He helped the miller's son to win the favor of the princess even though he knew that he was lying. I don't know what his game was but everything worked out in the end anyway so I guess it doesn't matter.

Santa Jaws

 

Why?

I know it's February, but my friends and I finally found time to watch this masterpiece.

What in the world?

A boy draws his comic book shark and it goes around and terrorizes just the boy's family. Well except for elf guy I guess. I almost forgot about the elf guy.

Personal thoughts

This movie was really strange. I mean the main characters were messed up and you kind of just wanted them to die. It would have been funny if the main character had died but he didn't and just experienced a lot of trauma instead. I mean there were only a couple of redeemable characters like elf guy. Elf guy did nothing wrong and was just a sad casualty that should have never happened. Everyone else was an ok death.

Score

I have to give this movie a 5 out of 10. I mean the plot was okay and I would have ranked it higher but the ending of the movie was just really bad and stupid. If the movie would have SPOILER ended with Santa Jaws dying then that would have been fine. Shockingly, that's not where the movie ended which made it worse. Also justice for elf guy. He was the best character and actor I believe. He tried his hardest and was brought into the movie for absolutely no reason. He wasn't a main character and was just randomly there. Justice for elf guy.

Farm to Fork to Love

 

Why?

I needed some background noise so I decided to put this on. 

What in the world?

A chef goes to judge a hotel competition and reunites with her ex from Sweden or somewhere in Europe. I honestly forgot.

Personal thoughts

This movie was pretty ok. I mean the characters were all pretty decent and none of them really stood out. I mean all the chefs competing in the competition seemed pretty cool so there's that. The main characters were pretty basic. They both wanted to have a successful business or career I guess. SPOILER. They end up working together. What a shock.

Score

This movie was nothing special. I have to give it a 3 out of 10. It was decent but I don't understand the romance between the French chef and the main dude's aunt. I mean there was no chemistry and it kind of just gets thrown in there as an afterthought. I mean why. Just. Why.

Love, Bubbles, and Crystal Cove

 

Why?

I had some free time so I decided to watch a movie and this happened to be my pick.

What in the world?

A businessman travels back to his hometown to help his ex-girlfriend keep her beauty store.

Personal thoughts

This movie was so boring. I wanted it to end halfway through because they weren't doing anything. I mean they didn't really have many ideas to save her business but they sure did have a lot of fun with some bath bombs. I mean making bath bombs can't be that fun...right? Like that's all they did the whole movie yet they reconciled their love. I guess that's a spoiler but no one should be surprised by that revelation.

Score

I have to give this movie a 1.4 out of 10. I understand that this is a weird score but hear me out. The mom was really bad at acting. At least that's what it seemed like. Her lines were delivered with a monotone and I thought it was beautiful. She was the only one that talked like that. I don't want to say it was a personal choice but maybe it was. Other than that though, this movie was really boring. I know I keep saying that but it was. Take my word for it.

The Dog Lover's Guide to Dating

 

Why?

My sister absolutely loves dogs. That's the entire reason why we watched this movie. 

What in the world?

A man is desperate to prove his worth to a woman but to do that he needs to get through to her dog. He hires a dog trainer to train him with dogs and then love happens. *shock*

Personal thoughts

This movie was really bad. I mean the main guy and the dog were both named Simon. That's not okay. First of all, that made it really hard to follow what was happening. Second of all, it led to some really horrendous dialogue from the main lady. Most of the characters in this movie were just really weird except for Jacob and Diego. Diego disappeared near the beginning of the movie though which was really sad. Jacob got shafted and lead on though which was even more sad. Justice for Jacob though because he wasn't even that bad of a person. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 2 out of 10. I would have given it a 1 but the dogs really made it stand out. I mean they're really cute. I didn't like the last line of the movie though. A sequel line would have been better than what was actually said. SPOILER. The last line of the movie was "Good boy, Simon." EW. That is so not ok he's a human. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
