I was surprised when S wanted to watch
Mr. Deeds. He is not a fan of
Adam Sandler, generally. I am only a fan of Adam Sandler intermittently.
Mr. Deeds was what I would consider one of his usual films. It was funny, and he plays a guy who's pretty sweet and not super annoying. Plus, it has a good soundtrack!
One of the best movies we have seen in a while was
The Peanut Butter Falcon. S had heard about it, and it was a pleasant surprise for me. It's the story of an autistic kid who escapes from the group home in which he lives. He befriends -- if that's the right word -- a loner and drifter, and they meet up with the caregiver who comes looking for him. It was a real gem, and also has a great soundtrack (though a little more Indie-inspired than
Mr. Deeds).
Avengement is for you if you're in the mood for something extremely dark. The main character, as you learn through flashbacks, has suffered years of abuse in prison. When he is released, he sets out to take revenge on the folks who put him there.
In a complete change of pace from
Avengement, and on a much lighter note, we watched
Bahubali: The Beginning.
I think it may have been the first Bollywood movie that S had seen. I
explained that in those movies people would periodically burst into song
and dance -- but then the movie made me a liar but not really having
that. It did have lots of really intense music, terrible graphics,
terrible action sequences, and a lot of confusion, so didn't disappoint
in that department. Against all odds (or maybe because of them) it was
entertaining, and there is another one when we are in the mood for it!
Drunk Parents is exactly as dumb as it sounds. Occasionally a little bit funny.
