My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2

I never saw the original, but this movie stars a cast of unknowns who apparently all made one movie about 15 years ago.

The one other group of people in my screening were laughing so hard, I figured they were either: a) Greek; or, like me, seeing the parallels to The Addams Family.

Kapoor & Sons (Since 1921)

Sure, a hot lead goes a long way, but even that can't distract from some things.

Things like Rishi Kapoor's wretchedly-thick pancake makeup.

Hello, My Name Is Doris

Will the young guy at work ever find out that his septuagenarian suitor wears a clip-on hairpiece?

It's a fun movie, mostly, but the funniest parts are the one-off comments written for the hipster gathering somewhere in the middle.

Eye in the Sky

 

At the SeniorPlex, it was a choice between this movie & some silly thing starring Sally Field; being a Helen "Hella" Mirren fan, I chose this.

After watching her stuck in one room, barking out commands for two hours, I Hella wish Mirren had starred in the silly thing.

Ki & Ka

This movie is so unrealistic.

No woman would let her husband turn their home into a toy train station that looks like a steroid version of the one on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

The Lady in the Van

Poor Maggie Smith; first her time serving as Downton Abbey's answer to Bea Arthur came to an end, and now she's smelling up a series of broken-down vans.

As if being underused throughout the Harry Potter series was not enough of an indignity for one lifetime.

Jai GangaaJal

Sure, she's gorgeous, but Abha Mathur is no-nonsense: she is tougher than any man under her command (or above her rank); she doesn't engage in singing & dancing; she isn't mooning over any man; and she does not--even once--stand in front of any damned wind machine.

Such a role is rare even here in the U.S., and I'm sure Priyanka Chopra's leading tough-guy madam-sir role owes a lot to her success as a TV star in Quantico.
