Thoughts on Chances Are.

Chances Are is dumb, perplexing, and outrageous at times. The acting choices are bizarre and B plots come out of nowhere and add nothng to the narrative. It comes off like what an alien would think a romantic comedy would be. It also is a tad dull at times and the humor comes off as creepy and tone deaf. This film would have made a better horror movie or adult film. It isn’t the worst movie of its time. It has a strange concept that might have worked in a different genre. It also was shocking that nobody brings up the clear case of incest that is taking place. It’s a schlocky movie that might be charming to some people who can overlook the creepy elements.

Thoughts on Swiss Army Man

Swiss Army Man is an interesting movie. It is a dark comedy that takes a bizarre concept and just goes with it. It requires a lot of suspension of disbelief but the performances carry the story along for a fun ride. Most of the productions of A24 have been great movies that take chances; this film is no exception. Give it a try if you want something really unique.

Thoughts on Sicario: Day of the Soldado

Sicario: Day of the Soldad is an awful mess. The acting is good and the few moments of action are good. However, the story is a mess. Without a clear protagonist the story becomes a jumbled and confusing slog. It is a shame. The first Sicario was really good and was fascinating. This movie comes off confused and aimless. I can’t recommend this movie, even for fans of the previous film.
