La lista

I really like the lead actress, I've seen her in another movie and she's just lovely.

The movie has the feel of a romantic comedy but doesn't follow the formula for one. So it's light hearted and fun but isn't as sappy as some can be. Not that there's anything wrong with those sorts of movies, we watch them because we know the formula and like it.

It's a good story that is very watchable and keeps you "engaged" ;)

It feels slightly long in the middle and perhaps lacks a bit of direction scriptwise. I liked it and think it promises to deliver what it claims.

Just enjoy the ride and maybe learn a little about being engaged to someone and how that may not work out. Some of us have been there.

A solid movie that is enjoyable and I give it 7/10 as in I'd watch it again.

Thanks for reading.

"The List" manages to somehow be a funny light comedy and also have some depth, certainly in its portrayed and satire of nowadays couple sand thier messy relationships, and some people's obsession with celebs. However sometimes the movie feels too rushed and fast-forwarded: the edit should've been done better and the film would've been better.

The story is about the failed attempt of Abby & Matt to get married due to Matt's betrayal with a celebrity in his own list. Then Abby tries to repay her ex-fiancé the same way with the help of her firends Sam & Chloe, but finds along the way Jake and things get interesting...

The main cast is amazing, Halston Sage can be at the same time vunerable and flirty, funny and serious. Overall they deliver a clever portrayed of the characters. It's definitely worth a watch.

If you're looking for a more edgy rom com than the usual schlock that all the streamers serve up, then The List is for you.

The script is really good. Even if it's not quite pulled off in how it was all thrown together, you can just get a strong sense of the cleverness behind the jokes. And when it gets funny, IT GETS FUNNY. I won't spoil some of the surprises but there are some wacky scenes in here that cracked me up!!!

I heard people complaining about it being predictable. People! Have you ever seen a rom com before???? Even the best ones of all time are predictable.

Settle in for the date night movie of the year. It's a perfect one to throw on and kick back on a Saturday night.

Abby Meyers (Halston Sage) is at a New York City bar with her friends and her fiance when famous actress Kenzie Scott walks in. The conversation quickly turns to celebrity passes as everybody makes up their own list. During the wedding shower, her fiance lets slip that he slept with Kenzie Scott after the bar encounter and this sends her into a tailspin. Her best friend Chloe (Chrissie Fit) takes her to L. A. where she starts hunting down her own list with Chloe's ex Sam (Shelley Hennig)'s help.

As often is the case in this type of rom-com, the hot young girl with model looks just can't get laid. It's a stupid trope. Halston Sage is a hot actress with some comedic chops. She tries. Comedy is not her best skillset but she tries. The stale comedy writing is not helping her and those two guys seems to be relative newcomers. I think Halston can be unleashed with better material and more physical comedy. She needs to do more slapstick to heighten the comedy. Plenty of hot ladies have made that comedic leap and she can be one of them.

Is it a 10? No, it's not a 10. But I'm showing my support against the people who inexplicably rated it a 1. Realistically, it's a solid 7 and a helluva good time.

Basic plot is Abby Myers is about to get married and finds out her fiancé slept with a celebrity from his free pass list. With her life turned upside down, she heads out to LA with her best friend Chloe to track down and sleep with one of the five men on her own list.

The setup is actually super fun and relatable. It opens the doors to lots of celebrity name dropping and pop culture references which makes this super fun for anyone who reads US Weekly or follows gossip pages on social.

Dialogue is really clever. I found myself giggling at a lot of the exchanges and then cracking up at some of the big physical comedy moments. If anything I wanted to see even more if it. Halston carries the movie (she is basically in every scene, and I wasn't complaining). Great supporting cast led by Chrissie Fit who is hilarious, and Christian Navarro who is absolutely charming. The small characters also really bring the funny too.

Overall - a sweet and charming rom com with more laughs than average. I think it's a perfect date night movie!
