A wedding-table-comedy which I was sure I’d already seen before, but didn’t recognise any of the details. Another vehicle for the range and depth of Anna Kendrick, set in the thoroughly plausible situation where she’s attending a wedding that she
The Lovebirds
Confusing and ultimately shit romcom, luring us in with the participation of Dinesh from Silicon Valley. Genuinely made me question what it is that people settle for in a film in this day and age.
Killers

Love Wedding Repeat
A wedding-table-comedy which I was sure I’d already seen before, but didn’t recognise any of the details. I know actors work on different jobs, but I was surprised that Olivia Munn was in this turkey, as I was used to

Utter bollocks.
Midnight in Paris
Sweet Woody Allen comedy about a writer in Paris with his fiancee, their divergent dreams, and his increased understanding of his dreams based on an unlikely situation involving travelling back in time to the 1920s to find himself hanging out

Stuck in Love
I didn’t write anything about this at the time I watched it, and now have no recollection of it whatsoever. I assume I was talked into it due to the presence of Kristen Bell.
