“The Menu”

It’s “Midsommar” meets “Chef.” And yes, that’s just as strange of a combination as it sounds.

First and foremost, Anya Taylor-Joy ❤️. I will watch anything she’s in. So naturally, my butt was in a seat. Then, they pit her against Voldemort himself, Ralph Fiennes. Fireworks. A masterclass in mysterious contention and connection. The kinship bordering on villainy is something truly special on the silver screen.

Warning – you’ll find yourself laughing more than expected. The comedy tag here isn’t by mistake.

Mrs. Harris goes to Paris. Mrs. Harris buys a dress. Mrs. Harris almost falls in love. Mrs. Harris plays matchmaker. Mrs. Harris leads a worker’s revolution. Mrs. Harris’s impact on the world goes from “invisible woman” to international icon. Mrs. Harris gains valuable perspective and leaves everyone in the theater thoroughly charmed.

AMAZING!

The perfect runtime. A great reunion of a fantastic cast. Just enough seriousness in the silliness. Kevin Bacon. Bellissima! From the cinematography to the soundtrack, a well done Disney+ must-see.

“Good Luck Chuck”

Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

The male equivalent to “27 dresses,” locked and loaded with Dan Fogler playing his signature raunchy sidekick that makes even Dane Cook seem sweet.

Jessica Alba kills it as Cam, and the penguin angle is perfect for the story. They are a perfect analogy for this love story. A little awkward, but that just makes them even more adorable and likable. The pinnacle of the Dane Cook wave, and has a well-earned spot in his standup act as a punchline even modern day.

No comment on any parallels between this film and the real life adventures of your favorite internet movie reviewer.

“Employee of the Month”

It isn’t always about getting the girl. Sure, that’s an added bonus, but sometimes it’s more about who we become along the way in becoming a better person to pursue the girl that turns out to be the real prize.

Another Dane Cook renaissance film with a surprising depth to it and heartfelt message. Full of inappropriate jokes and a rivalry for the ages, putting our hero against Dax Shepard.
