Coisas Divertidas Sobre o Amor

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.

With Thanksgiving being my favorite holiday and since it wasn't a vulgar movie, I've inflated my score. Plus it's a treat to see Jon Heder of Napoleon Dynamite.

The actual story was a cookie cutter Lifetime-style romcom where a woman represses feelings towards her ex and has to endure her current beau, who is a complete piece of work. All the while she is tackling with a decision on whether to sell her company and has pressure from her family to get back with her ex.

The three main characters (the esquire, Samantha, and the comedian) were bland as white bread. No discernible chemistry between them and it wasn't interesting to watch them. The first half of the movie felt too satirical and overdone.

The remaining cast provided some comic relief. Once the grandpa, father, and Heder's characters had their chance to do some one liners, things picked up a bit. The romantic parts of the movie are commonplace and forgettable, but otherwise the running gags (such as the grandpa's penchant for sweets, the dad deep frying a turkey, and Charlie's nerdy personality) made it a bearable film.

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.

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.

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!
