Funny Thing About Love

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.

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.

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.

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.

Before I watched the movie I read an interview with the writer/director, Adam White, and was curious to see if he pulled off creating a Hallmark-esque movie that men could enjoy. I also read reviews highlighting good points and some negative ones too. In short, I enjoyed the movie quite a bit and certainly feel it's worthy of re-watching.

I honestly thought the cast was pretty great. The acting talents of the adult characters kept me engaged in the story and everyone seemed natural cohesive. Everyone felt well-casted, although I would have liked to see more diversity in the main characters. Summer Bellessa did an admirable job leading the story, while Kevan Moezzi and Jason Gray played their roles quite well.

The story was relatable and interesting. Strangely, one bad review I read claimed the opposite, but after seeing the movie, I can only deduce that the reviewer must have been reviewing the trailer, not the movie. The movie laid-out everything; the background stories are well-established and the motives and conflicts are clearly reasonable.

I enjoyed the characters and performances of many of the supporting characters. Jon Heder's (Samantha's brother) hilarious post credit scene may be missed by some who didn't stay for the credits. Pat Finn (Samantha's father) was consistently funny and enjoyable. Every scene with Grandpa Joe, Barry Corbin, was enjoyable and often hilarious.

Adam White delivered on his promise to create a Hallmark-esque movie that all can enjoy. I laughed often and I was touched by the serious moments as well. I'm certain I will re-watch this film over the years.
