    Something's Gotta Give

    I imagine a remake bringing Alfred Woodard and Delroy Lindo together again. You see it. 
    Original slaps hard though. 
    Make turtle necks sexy again. 
    Third act gets to feel a bit drawn out and convoluted. Nancy has a penchant for that. Still a great ride. Diane shines as a lovable prude. Jack as always makes my skin crawl. Clearly a particular casting muse for Nancy. I love this film.

    this was so cathartic. to sit with the possibility of a world where patriarchy doens't exist was thrilling, refreshing uplifting....and they did it in a fun way! it's no simple feat to craft a fun engaging story with incisive social commentary that isn't didactic or overbearing. i laughed and cried a lot is all i'm saying. more chick flicks written by smart deliberate people pleath.

    favorite parts are ryan gosling learning how to be a disrespectful man in the real world.

    This put a working on me. Probably my most moving film experience of 2023. See at Third Horizon’s Caribbean Cinema Series pt 2 @ PAAM.
