The Plus One

If I could burn the memory of this movie out of my mind, I would.

This left me feeling ragey with no resolve. I have never hated every single character of a movie before.

So many misses. So many stupid scenarios.

I don't ever review movies but I felt compelled to create this account so I could write one about this one. Rotten tomatoes graded this way too high. 33%!?! Z E R O PERCENT. Zeee RO.

Nobody stood up for Ashanti's character. I don't know how she didn't turn this flop into a flip the eff out.

600 words is what I'm supposed to give this as a minimum!? Lord - the title is all I wanted to give at all.

This movie was painful and obvious. The bride was being hushed and dismissed so much it's disgusting. Not funny and this was borderline mentally and emotionally abusive. Marie was intrusive, disrespectful, and crossed all boundaries. And her best friend was so insensitive. The gaslighting, the CRINGE!!! Why was she not allowed to have her way for her own wedding? She was made to feel wrong about that woman totally ruining HER weekend and it's disgusting. I hate this movie, this is not a comedy, it's triggering. Whoever came up with this, huge fail. Waste of some amazing actors talents. Seriously.

Known actors so gave it a try but within few minutes realized this is a low quality movie a-l-a Tubi or Plex. Ashanti is clearly a singer not actress. Couldn't even get through half the film. Unfortunately a skip this time. Scenery is pretty and they tried to make it light hearted for the viewing audience!

I hated this movie. Not only was most of the acting in it absolutely terrible but there wasn't anything funny at all that occured in it. The main character of the story (the bride) is repeatedly dismissed whenever she dares to draw attention to the very real problems the antagonist of the movie is causing her. It just comes across as misogynistic and for a newer Netflix title that's extremely disappointing. The big names who probably drew you in are either hardly seen or when they are the scene just falls flat. I watched 50 minutes of it and even that was too much. No laughs to be found here and certainly nothing interesting. Give this a miss.

Whoever wrote this and directed it was very in touch with toxic masculinity and extremely out of touch with progressive, conscious interpersonal relationships. A movie where the bride was silenced and gaslit into being abused and disrespected continuously. Very hard to watch, we honestly almost didn't finish it, but it was like a train wreck, we couldn't look away. The music is atrocious and almost makes a person want to rip their eyeballs out. It reminded me of a Lifetime movie, very driven by the patriarchy, no depth, and completely nonsensical. I love the actors, they did a great job with what they were given. So this is nothing against them. A word of advice for the creators in charge, romcoms that are original and up to speed with at least the current median vibration of intelligence, are likely to fair better in an exponentially evolving world.
