Isn’t It Romantic? (2019) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): Isn’t it typical?
“Isn’t It Romantic?”, which was theatrically released in US in last month and then was released by Netflix outside US on last Thursday, is fairly watchable, but it is not as fresh as intended. While it initially seems to have … Continue reading
The Breaker Upperers (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): A couple of break-up professionals
New Zealand comedy film “The Breaker Upperers”, which was recently released on Netflix, cheerfully bounces along with its two female main characters as generating many quirky and funny moments during its short running time (90 minutes). Although it drags a … Continue reading
