Funny Thing About Love

I adore both of these folks and they are two Instagram accounts I ALWAYS check out it's how I found this. I have all Brookes albums she's amazing - bringing awesome 70s singer /songwriter vibes today. I wish she'd be in more films as I also loved Banner 4th of July. And Jon I've adored since Napoleon I I'd Dynamite and Blades of Glory. He was in Brookes video for Get your boots on too check it out! Anyway my family EAGERLY preordered and thoroughly enjoyed this - all ages can enjoy it.

Maybe it gets better, but I turned it off 15 minutes in because the acting was SOOO bad. I love a good, clean, family-friendly movie, but can't watch movies that feel so unnaturally fake due to poor acting.

Clearly not a 10! I have no idea how anyone could honestly rate it that high. It was nice and clean but the acting was daily soap opera or below. Overall plot was OK but much of the " comedy" was forced. I am not sure why Barry Corbin was there, I am a fan but the grumpy grandpa role was forced to say the least. The eventual outcome was not hard to predict as the current boyfriend was clearly a over acted phoney not suited to the female lead. So the interest is just how the impending train wreck will unfold. The acting got better and more natural as the movie progressed. Not a bad way to pass a little time on a rainy afternoon.

Every year, My husband, my Son, and I volunteer at a homeless shelter every Holiday. The banter between the actors while serving the food to the homeless was extremely distasteful, and outright Rude. They almost never made eye contact with the ones that were shown, Never a "Hi ! How about (whatever they were serving) Happy Holiday .. Nothing.

Acting was not great, story line was OK.

Agreed. I love Jon Heder. I would watch anything he was in.

So the movie is a waste of time. I find nothing particularly interesting about the plot or the characters. However, I want to know who designed these sets and costumes. I have never seen uglier clothing and furniture in my life. The giant ugly cheetah print chair, which just so happens to be sitting right in front of the sofa, in the center of the room. The women's clothing is painfully hideous. I was so distracted by the ugly shoes and outrageous color and pattern choices, that I really wasn't paying attention to the story. It felt so cold and unnatural watching them in the settings they were in, looking the way they looked. They didn't even appear friendly with one another. It just feel like strangers having an awkward weekend together.
