A Week Away [A Musical] (2021) Movie Review

Image
Cool Kids Pray, So Should You In reading order, images belong to Netflix, Netflix, Netflix. We do not own any of the images and we do not claim any right on them.  Starring Kevin Quinn and Bailee Madison, A Week Away, A Musical is a Netflix movie. A lot of a there. Anyways, A Week Away features some really decent tunes yes, but starting off, let's point out that it is a pro-christian propaganda movie at some level as well, so keep that in mind when you read our review on it. Welcome back mortals, feel lost on Netflix and wondering if this is the one for you? Perfect, we have just the review for you today. A Week Away, in a nutshell, follows Will (That's Kevin Quinn) on his mighty adventures leading him to Jesus. The musical starts off with Will stealing a cop car for some reason, some good reason we never got to know. (Or that I forgot, it's not really a movie to remember, you see) Anyways, when the cop catches him with the car he stole, I think, he gets caught and is kic...

The Map Of Tiny Perfect Things (2021) Movie Review

Image
 Surprisingly Good, Surprisingly Amusing Meet Mark, a hyperenergetic teen who just loves to mess arround. There's a catch though, he lives the same day over and over. Every single day of his life is the last one repeated. He knows exactly what will happen, exactly what people will say, will do. (Yes, like the Groundhog Day, exactly like that) (Yes, also like the Edge Of Tomorrow, well, minus all the war stuff) Mark is a teen with a perfect family that he has problems with. He is mortal enemies with his sister, like every teen in the world, and he's angry at his father for not making more money. Still, Mark is a really good kid, and a really good person. He just has that thing, the one with living the same day over and over. Just when he thinks he's the only non-dreamer in the world, Margaret happens. Margaret is a girl of his dream, since she is also a non-dreamer. They start a friendship and become more than that real soon. Well, to Mark at least. Though Margaret has other...

Chemical Hearts (2020) Movie Review

Image
 Starring Austin Abrams and Lili Reinhart, Chemical Hearts is not just a movie about love. Henry, our eyes and ears, is a high school senior with an ability for writing. He is the kind of person who needs to write what he feels to know what he feels. When Henry's senior year starts, he has nothing in mind but becoming the editor of school newspaper. On his interview, he meets Grace, the transfer student, also a senior, and also has a magical touch for writing. When their teacher offer the position to both of them together, Henry wants to know Grace a bit more. So, with a basic "hey" from Henry, our poetic romance begins. Henry falls for her, but she has much more in her plate than he knows. Chemical Hearts gives us a new perspective for love and loss.The movie is based on the book "Our Chemical Hearts" by Krystal Sutherland. The screenplay was written by the director himself, Richard Tanne.  With it's 93 minutes runtime, Chemical Heart is not a minute longe...

The F**k It List (2020) Movie Review

Image
 There's a pool in the poster, yay!                                                                                    image by Netflix 2020  Despite it's pretty bold title, considering the title itself will most likely cut the revenue, The F**ck It List offers rather a classic story. In this review, I'm gonna try to point every single pro for the movie, since I will list a lot of cons for it. Let's get right into it! The movie evolves arround our Brett Blackmore (Eli Brown). Brett is a high school student, a very succesful one as well. He's basically at the top of every academic test. In fact, he gets a 7 out of 8 acceptance letters from the Ivies, with being wait-listed for Harvard. Of course, his parents throw a party for him, a...

All The Bright Places (2020) Movie Review

Image
A Successful Adaptation For Sure                                                                                      image by Amazon.com, lnc. Based on the book with the same title, "All The Bright Places" is a teen drama that goes real hard on the viewer. It has the potential to make a grown, 20 year old, male viewer cry. So general viewer, just be prepared, onions are on the loose. Starring Elle Fanning and Justice Smith, this teen drama doesn't include anything teen-y really. Our heroes, Violet and Finch are just two kid with grown up problems. Movie starts with Violet, standing on the ledge of a bridge, of the bridge actually. Just as she is thinking about jumping, Theodore (Finch, he calls himself) talks her out of it. That's th...

The Half Of It (2020) Movie Review

Image
A Successful Display Of Love                                                                                        image by Amazon.com, lnc. Wow, it has been ages since the last time I saw a teen rom-com that doesn't include a princess image. Therefore, even before starting the review, I must say, I was impressed about a lot of things in this movie. Sit back and relax people, after a long thread of disappointment, this will be a positive review! "The Half Of It" follows a smart, caring, but in need of money teen Ellie Chu. Ellie is a girl, but a grown up mind. She's no princess, and she is not intending to be, or acting to be. Which makes her role much more realistic and close to heart than most of the teen romance characters in o...

The Perfect Date (2019) Movie Review

Image
I Liked The Poster?                                                                               image by Amazon.com, lnc. Alright, so in this teen movie, we have a teenager gentleman trying out for Harvard. As expected, he needs an essay for application to get in. Well, he thinks that's no a big deal, he writes an essay, add all the things he know will work. He tells them about all the fancy student clubs he's part of, the ones he joined to make his application look cooler. Seems like the perfect candidate. Yet, his counselor doesn't like it, and tell him to try again, and try to be a more interesting person this time. That would be good for the viewer as well, thank you counselor. Our hero, Brooks Rattigan, is actually quite the entrepreneur in heart...

A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish (2019) Movie Review

Image
This Is A Movie, It Seems                                                                                 image by Amazon.com, lnc. Honestly, I lost count on this movies. How many are there really? Anyways, as the title says, this is a cinderella story, not so different then her other stories. "A Cinderalla Story : Christmas Wish" follows our teen, who is subject of an interior abuse in her family, well, step family. If you know Cinderella's story, then you might as well just know what exactly will happen in the end without really watching it, at all. The movie has some positives, yet a lot of negatives. So in this review, the positives will get paragraphs of their own, while the negatives will be in a one long paragraph or two. First of all, the or...

Let It Snow (2019) Movie Review

Image
It Was Good, Until It Wasn't                                                                                                                    image by Amazon.com, lnc. "Let It Snow" with it's young,but promising cast is a teen comedy set in Christmas. First of all,the movie doesn't present more than the "teens in snowing Christmas,friendships in danger movies" we know before that one. Though actually, that's not the problem because in the end, I already didn't expect a miracle out of this title before watching it. It's already such a Christmas movie cliche, so I was pretty okay with the environment at the very beginning, which was -not sur...
