Apresentando, Nate

For Disney + standards, this film is good. But for films in general, its fine but forgettable. I think it was weird that Disney was commercializing so much of there content for one. But other than that its just a Broadway fan service kind of film. And hits all the notes that you would expect from a Disney straight to streaming service kind of film to do.

Joshua Bassett apparently doesn't need to act to be a jerk. Lol. Joke asides, Better Nate Than Ever is a delightful light musical. Regardless of its many cliches, the film is actually quite evocative, touching, and entertainingly fun. 🎵Untill Queendom come! 🎵

Better Nate Than Ever (2022) is based off of the book Better Nate Than Ever by Tim Federle, which I have not read but after watching the movie I am interested in reading the book.

I liked Rueby Woods performance as Nate, he brought the enthusiastic and dedicated personality of someone who wants to get in a lead role in a musical. He also sang the songs well and the songs in the movie are nice to listen to.

The choreography and dance numbers are nice to look at, and I like that Nate goes all the way to New York for his audition. There is a fun song sequence with Nate in New York that I did enjoy and liked watching.

This is a simple, fun, and enjoyable movie that you can watch with your family or if you have kids then they will like it. Give this a watch if you have the time because I enjoyed the time, I spent with this.

There is no doubt that Rueby Wood is a talented kid. His enthusiasm as Nate is infectious and you have to cheer him on. Nate's parents aren't bad parents, just a little unaware. Nate's brother, a high-school jock, is embarrassed by his somewhat effete younger brother. And Nate's friend Libby, his enabler, is a little slow in understanding Nate's concept of girlfriend. But Lisa Kudrow, is wonderful as his would be mother and slightly kooky Aunt Heidi. This is a well-intentioned film with a strong message of letting people be who they are. With heart and some terrific song and dance numbers, this is an entertaining film.

Congratulations Disney on your first movie with a gay lead without even mentioning words like "gay". But I guess baby steps are also steps. Nevertheless, it was a fun no-brainer movie worth watching!
