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.

I didn't find anything particularly "funny" about this movie. To start with, from the way people behave: Samantha's family invites her ex-boyfriend to spend the holidays with them and nobody told her. Then he tries to win her back after breaking up with her years ago, without much apologize or reasons for breaking up in the first place. Kids kick an adult, nobody reacts, no apologize either. And don't get me started on the big boyfriend's reveal at the end...

The actors are equally bad, except from the little girl maybe. There is absolutely zero chemistry between the leads, whether it is between Samantha with her boyfriend or her ex-boyfriend. Pass!

This is a clean, enjoyable movie. The plot is predictable but there are not many movies out there today that are not predictable. The acting sometimes seems stiff but other times it seems fine. Jon Heder and Barry Corbin make this movie work. It didn't seem specifically like a "Christian" movie but the dad's prayer over Thanksgiving dinner impressed me.

It is telling me my review is too short so let's see what I can come up with. This has all the qualities of a Hallmark movie but I found it on Hulu live so I know it isn't Hallmark. It is good to see others making clean movies.

This is worth a watch.

Do yourself a favor and skip this one. No idea where all these 10-star reviews are coming from. This is barely a movie yet somehow still manages to commit severe crimes against cinema.

A lot of these 10-star reviews are praising this film for being "clean". "Oh, it's so nice to have something clean to just put on in the background". Are you ok my friend? There are infinitely better things to put on for the whole family to watch. I feel sorry for anyone who's aunt or mother throws this on for the kids to watch while the Turkey is cooking. I am convinced that these 10-star reviews are either bots or humans that have never seen another movie.

This "movie" makes me want to skip Thanksgiving indefinitely.

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.
