WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:04.639 Oftentimes it's not until we experience lost firsthand that we 2 00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:10.240 truly understand the value of life. Sometimes to understand the 3 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.400 value of life, it means taking more risks, like traveling 4 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.920 to a place we've always wanted to go but we're 5 00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:21.960 afraid to without the one we lost. But maybe having 6 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.239 the courage to try could lead us to someone new, 7 00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:30.320 but not without some hijinks along the way. It's You, 8 00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:36.600 Me and Tuscany. I'm Ronald Young Junior, and I'm leaving 9 00:00:36.640 --> 00:01:32.640 the theater. All right.

This is a movie about Italy, 18 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.240 and at some point I am going to do an 19 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:19.560 Italian accent.

I almost did it in the theater 22 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.759 while I was watching the movie, and I thought about 23 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.360 it the whole time, but I didn't. But it's I 24 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.120 feel it bubbling up. For that reason. I'm not here alone. 25 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.199 Actually not for that reason, but I'm not here alone. 26 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:38.439 I am here with. 27 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.560 John glood Hill. I'm glad you gave me the trigger. 28 00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.280 The trigger warning is actually for me because I did 29 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.479 not know there was an Italian accent comeing y'all, we're 30 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:48.360 in this together. 31 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.520 I can't. I as soon as they started talking and 32 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.479 they got to Italy and it kind of became a 33 00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.199 caricature of Italians. I was almost in the film. I was, 34 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:04.520 and there it is. 35 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:08.039 And there's literally a man named Luigi in this film. 36 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.520 There's a Giuseppe. There's a Luigi. It's it's it's it's 37 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.400 all right there, Okay. So you, Me and Tuscany is 38 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:20.919 a film about a woman played by Holly Bailey, and 39 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.080 I'm definitely gonna slip on the call her Holly Berry 40 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.560 at some point during this, so please don't email me. 41 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.000 So it's about Holly Bailey, who is playing a woman 42 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:33.280 named Anna who is grieving the loss of her mother, 43 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.599 and she decided she wanted to be a chef, and 44 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.159 she had done a lot of cooking with her mother. 45 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.000 She was inspired by her mother. Her mother died before 46 00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.960 they were able to go to Tuscany, Italy, and Anna's 47 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.599 going through a rough patch. She's struggling to pay rent, 48 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.280 but she already had the ticket to Tuscany. So through 49 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.719 some happenstance, she ends up in Italy in this villa 50 00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:01.680 with a fake engagement, and she becomes entangled with this 51 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:06.199 family and lies in high jinks ensue as a result. 52 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.400 It's a true romantic comedy. I'll stop right there. Jacqueline Hill, 53 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:12.800 what did you think of this film? 54 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:17.160 I really enjoyed this, Like I was saying, if you 55 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:23.319 like two thousands, ram calm, like hijinks that style, if 56 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:28.160 you like dirty macking talking about filthy macking, disgusting macking. 57 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.319 Can you describe what filthy macking is? So? 58 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.720 Dirty macking is like if you know someone has a 59 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:34.759 guy or girl and you're like, I don't care, I'm 60 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.839 about to spit my game anyway. That is, and the 61 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.560 dirty macking gets downright disgusting. At one point where it's 62 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.319 like Ronald turned to me and he was like, this 63 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.079 fanc has come back. 64 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.959 Really I did, I really did, because at that moment 65 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.879 I was just like, yo, dog, she is engaged as 66 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.560 far as you know, and you're just like that dog. 67 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.040 I'm getting a like he was. It wasn't just dirty 68 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:00.319 macking he was. 69 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.240 It was like wild. It's actually wild for that. It 70 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.199 was so wild for that. If you like those things 71 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.160 and along with women who lie I personally love all 72 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:12.439 three of those things, you're gonna have a good time 73 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:13.040 at this movie. 74 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:17.759 Yes, I feel the same. I really you said early 75 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:25.040 two thousands, I thought nineties as well. It was zany, yeah, zaye. Hijinks, 76 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:29.040 there's hijinks. It just feels like early in the film, 77 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.600 almost as a wink and a nod to the audience. 78 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:36.360 Neil Verdalos is listed in the in the cast. She's 79 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.480 in this movie not very long. It's very much a cameo. 80 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:45.160 But Neil Ardalos is my big fat Greek wedding and 81 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.600 and it's almost like a signal to what this film 82 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.680 is about to be because she shows up and it's 83 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.920 almost like she's passing the Torch to Holly Bailey in 84 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.439 a way, and so I kind of after that, I'm like, Okay, 85 00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:57.920 I kind of know what I'm I'm what I'm gonna 86 00:05:57.920 --> 00:05:59.480 be expect. I know what to expect. 87 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.879 Now, and I hope i'm what I'm interested to know. 88 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.000 What I like about this is seeing it before the 89 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.600 hashtag discourse, and I think, like more and more we 90 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:13.240 should all see movies opening weekend so that we can 91 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.360 form opinions before the conversation starts. 92 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:17.959 I'm a strong proponent of that. I told everyone every 93 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.680 time I'm yelling at people, I come out of the 94 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:22.360 film early, and I'm always like, this is one you 95 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.160 need to see early. Don't wait, you'll be behind the discourse. 96 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.600 And it's very much a thing of like rom coms 97 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.199 require a sense of earnestness, and I am curious how 98 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.480 people are going to respond to the earnestness. But if 99 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.560 you love earnestness, if you love hijinks, if you love zany, 100 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.240 if you love wacky, if you love people two people 101 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.720 who are we talked about this before the movie a 102 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:45.519 little too hot? 103 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.279 Okay, and so I was wrong because so he did exactly. 104 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.800 Okay, we're gonna get into the Reggae Jean page of 105 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:56.920 it all. But he did exact I was like, what's 106 00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:58.480 the COMMISSI you're gonna like, is it gonna be able 107 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.319 to do this? But he was exact exactly. He did 108 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.240 exactly this. I think he's been trying to get off 109 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:07.279 type sir, do more of this. I loved Bridgerton, Do 110 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:09.439 more of this, do more of this. 111 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.000 If you are a woman and you are listening to 112 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:14.879 this podcast, and I have a lot of women that 113 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.920 listen to leaving the theater, this is when you go 114 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.759 see if you were into Bridgerton, if you were into 115 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:24.959 if you like reggae Jean, he is he's playing the 116 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.279 hits in this one.

The setting was beautiful and 154 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.639 I sat there and I said, Oh, they're in Italy. 155 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:22.399 They shot this in Italy. 156 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.240 That was the thing. If you look at the credits, 157 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.159 all those names are Italian. They're like, thank you to 158 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.879 the tourism board in Rome, like they shot this on 159 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:33.639 location the country of Italy. I feel like they're all 160 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:36.080 in on this. They are about to be welcoming these 161 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:37.600 girls trips with open arms. 162 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.720 Yeah, it's definitely gonna spark the tourism. The score in 163 00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:43.000 this film is doing a lot of work. It's almost 164 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.559 another character because it's very reminiscent. When you said early 165 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.840 two thousands, I remember thinking, oh, yeah, this movie is 166 00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.679 doing what Hitch was doing in terms of like just 167 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.639 playing the piano at the right time, picking the strings, 168 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.799 plucking the strings at the right time, versus playing the strings. 169 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.240 Then a needle dropped just so many ways in which 170 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:04.759 they were using the score to signal that this is 171 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.639 your classic rom com. Do not expect anything else than 172 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:10.879 a classic rom com here. As a matter of fact, 173 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.360 it makes me wonder how it's going to be received. Well, 174 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:15.960 we'll get in the ratings in a second, but it 175 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.480 makes me I'm sitting there watching it. Even the part 176 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.519 of me that's like this should be a streaming film, 177 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:24.440 I had to push that down because I thought, no, 178 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.360 I really want these movies back in theaters. 179 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.440 I think that's it. Like part of me I was 180 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.000 also just like, oh, I could have streamed that. This 181 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.679 would have been a good streaming but it's like, no, 182 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:35.759 we want rom coms. We want them in the theater, 183 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.440 like this is what you do. There was also another 184 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:44.759 two thousand's trope that was very like, oh, we're so back, 185 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.639 and it's very much a skirt. You're probably wondering how 186 00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:50.080 I got here, and I was like, oh, I was 187 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.000 wondering how you got here. Thank you for explaining that 188 00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:53.320 to me. 189 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.799 Yeah, I saw that. I remember thinking as that was happening. 190 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.320 I remember watching it being like, this is a different 191 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.320 movie than I imagine based on what she's doing right now. 192 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:06.399 But that also builds the remarkable heart of the film, 193 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.679 in which they stick with the idea that she is 194 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.519 trying to escape from her own life by living other 195 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:17.080 people's and this this zany thing comes comes to be 196 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:21.639 Missus Doubtfire a movie that is zany but still has 197 00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:24.399 a heart. It's still at its root about a man 198 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.720 who just wants to spend time with his children, you know, 199 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:30.679 but they couch it in this this zany hijinks. This 200 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.240 is a movie about a woman who doesn't have family. 201 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.120 She lost her mom, and like, and it's funny because 202 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.279 I'm watching this and I'm thinking, I think the losing 203 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.960 your mom trope. As someone who's lost her mom, I feel. 204 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:47.159 Like I's thinking of you. When that happened, I was like, Ooh, 205 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:49.840 is the movie like not it for you now? 206 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:53.960 No, because it felt like it. I understand why they 207 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.759 do that. I think it's hard to really quantify the 208 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:02.000 pain of losing your mond until you go through it. 209 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.080 And then all of a sudden, a lot of Kanye 210 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.039 West made sense to me after this. And I know 211 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:10.240 that's crazy. I know it's hot button. I don't forgive 212 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.039 anything he said that's wild, but I'll just say there 213 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:14.399 was a moment where I said. 214 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:16.279 Oh, a heartbreak made sense. 215 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.320 One hundred percent. There's just a stretch of time in 216 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.440 there where you could go down a very dark path, 217 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.279 and I think this movie displays it through zany hijinks, 218 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.159 saying that she misses her mom, and when you have 219 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.000 a relationship with your mom and you miss her, yeah, 220 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.000 maybe you'll go to Tuscany and lie about an engagement 221 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:36.320 and get ingratiated with. 222 00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.519 A fast time she was when I think about it, 223 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:41.759 like she she committed crimes, but like, you can do 224 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:43.720 that when you're pretty. No, you can't. Don't take that 225 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:44.519 as legal advice. 226 00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:47.000 You absolutely can't. I mean you can do it if 227 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.759 you're pretty. Because like to say, all right, we're getting 228 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:51.000 off top of I was gonna say, but the same 229 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:54.639 thing that attractive people do, If less attractive people do, 230 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:56.039 it's considered to be creepy. 231 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.480 Yeah, like, no, get her out of my home. But 232 00:12:58.480 --> 00:12:59.840 it's like, oh it's Holly Bailey. 233 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.480 Yeah you could stay. Yeah you'd be like, oh, it's 234 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:05.799 weird that Holly Bailey is here, But I'm definitely not 235 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:07.120 kicking her out. Are you serious? 236 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:07.679 Yeah? 237 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:10.679 Yeah. So anyway, so let's talk about the rating. We've 238 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:12.320 talked a lot about the film. We liked it. Was 239 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.080 there anything else you want to talk about? Movie wise? 240 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:19.440 I enjoyed that all the men were jerks. That's gonna 241 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:21.440 sound until you see it, that won't make sense. But 242 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.519 all the men kind of suck and that's a little 243 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:30.000 well maybe not all of them, but there's the men 244 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.240 are a little dubious, but in a way that makes sense. 245 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:34.120 There's nothing remarkable about any of them. 246 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:37.200 I would say, no, no, we're going John Page is 247 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:37.679 just hot. 248 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.480 Yeah, that's literally it. Yeah, he's not bringing anything other 249 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.000 than hot to the table. Uh. And I think the 250 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:50.120 other thing is, oh, there's I cannot remember the actress's name, 251 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:53.320 but the sister. The sister is hilarious and he steals 252 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:53.960 a lot of scenes. 253 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.480 Yeah, she's a wild girl. I will also say there 254 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.840 is a Mario needle drop, and the moment that happened, 255 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:03.240 I was like, oh, I know what movie I'm in. 256 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:05.120 It's been a while, but I know what I'm doing here, 257 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.320 and it allowed me. That was a moment where I 258 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:08.960 was like, I am along for this ride. 259 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.679 It reminds me of again in Hitch, Don't You Worry 260 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.960 About a Thing? That part of the movie when they're 261 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:15.919 on those jet skis and they're out in the water 262 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:19.159 with the wide shots. That's kind of like there's always 263 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:21.519 a moment where the movie is trying to tell you 264 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:23.759 these two people are about to fall in love, and 265 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:27.720 it's starting with this needle drop and this adventure that 266 00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:28.799 they're about to get into. 267 00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:31.799 Yeah. Yeah. Also, that family was just so wild because 268 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:34.080 there were so many times where like if things were 269 00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.799 what they appeared and be like, get away from that girl, 270 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.679 why do you get away from that girl? 271 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.639 You have no business talking to her whatsoever. Let's talk 272 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:46.080 rating So me and you were kind of like teasing 273 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.440 it a little bit, But with a film like this, 274 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.200 it's it does what it does very well and let 275 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.039 me just make you hip to this. The other day 276 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:58.080 I saw Mario and the Mario Super Mario Galaxy movie, 277 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:00.759 and at one point I'm watching it, I remember thinking, 278 00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.480 this movie can't be higher than the three point five 279 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.480 because it can't do anything that it can't do anything 280 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.320 that I would consider a three point seventy five or 281 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.200 four or four point five movie could do in those cases. 282 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:15.279 But it's very good at what it is doing. In 283 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.679 front of me. It kind of like I sometimes I 284 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:20.559 try to think of movie scores like gymnastics scores, where 285 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:23.039 it's just if this is what you're doing. This is 286 00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:26.039 why Simone Biles was beating so many people because her 287 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.720 starting score was so high that as long as she 288 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.679 didn't die doing the vault, she was going to win, 289 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.399 which is like it was amazing because even like, even 290 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:37.679 if she stepped off the mat, all that her starting 291 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:40.320 score was so high that it didn't matter. So a 292 00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.320 stumble is different watching a film like this, I remember 293 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.720 just thinking in my head, I know what the max 294 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:50.080 score that this could be, because in my heart, this 295 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:53.759 is a this is an insane movie. There's just there's 296 00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:56.279 problems with it, but I like it so much that 297 00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.440 I'm willing to ignore them. Yeah. 298 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.639 It's like, so when I think of ratings, I also 299 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:08.360 like I take genre into account. So for instance, I 300 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:10.240 can't remember what the score I gave it, but I 301 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:13.320 think I gave the most recent Bad Boys that came out. 302 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:17.639 It probably have the same score as Oppenheimer. And those 303 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:22.559 are like totally different films, completely different films, like what 304 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:25.960 like not. They are both not gonna be at the Oscars. 305 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.200 They are both not gonna be But it's like, I 306 00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:31.200 know what I came for and I had a ball, 307 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.360 and you gave me what I was looking for. And 308 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.240 I think that's something people I don't know. I think 309 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.840 that's something that gets lost with a lot of like criticism, 310 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.840 especially if like lay criticism, because it's a thing of like, well, 311 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.960 why wasn't this Citizen Kane? Therefore it was bad? And 312 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:53.279 it's like, no, the movie did what it came to do. Like, 313 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:59.200 not every movie is gonna be like I don't know, 314 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.200 not every movie. Not every movie is gonna be sinners. 315 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.240 But that doesn't mean the movie's not good. 316 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:09.039 I agree, And I also think that there are there's 317 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:13.119 still a range of romantic comedies in terms of stuff 318 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:16.599 that is probably better than you Me and Tuscany. But 319 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:17.519 I mean you. 320 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:20.119 Still thought, listen, it's not when Harry met Sally. 321 00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:22.519 That's that's what I was gonna say, Like, look at 322 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:24.359 the classics. It's not gonna be one of those. It's 323 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:26.319 not gonna be like a Sleepless in Seattle, which actually 324 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:26.799 I don't think. 325 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.720 People like it's not even a brown sugar. 326 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.200 It's not a brown sugar. It's not even what's the 327 00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:35.359 other one with them? Oh, it's not a loving basketball. 328 00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:36.920 But that's not really a comedy, right. 329 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:37.599 Horror movie? 330 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:38.799 Yeah, that is a horror movie. 331 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:42.839 I would say, is it a twenty seven dresses? 332 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:46.200 It could be a twenty seven dresses? Is it a 333 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:47.079 runaway bride? 334 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:51.279 Is it a runaway? That is it? Is it a runaway? 335 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:52.240 Is it a pretty woman? 336 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.039 Yeah? Ooh m. 337 00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:58.720 I think Holly Bailey should go on all right. With 338 00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:01.119 all of that being said, let me finish. I thought, 339 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:03.599 I think that Holly Bailey should go on a run 340 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:06.160 of romantic comedies right now. I think she should be 341 00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.839 trying to get these at least try to get another couple. Whatever. 342 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:11.599 But with all of that being said, what do you 343 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:13.759 rate this movie out of five stars? 344 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:16.960 I am going to give it a four point twenty 345 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:19.920 five because I think it does the rom com thing 346 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.599 it needs to do. Like three is like very average, 347 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:27.480 Like you know, three's like a C. This is definitely 348 00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:31.759 a B plus. Like go see it with your girls, 349 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:36.319 have a good time, have a giggle afterwards, be like, girl, 350 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.559 we should go to a winery in Tuscany. Reggae John Page, 351 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:42.880 do more of this. I'm trying to. I'm trying to. 352 00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.599 I'm trying to watch you, like I don't know like, 353 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:47.319 take your shirt off in more things? 354 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:47.960 Do that? 355 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.440 Do that? We like it, do more of it. You're 356 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:52.119 good at it. 357 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.720 I give it a three point seventy five of five stars. Uh, 358 00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:00.119 I think that in my opinion, I don't think it 359 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.920 could get higher than that, but I think it maxes out. 360 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:05.680 I know why, based on what you explained, I think 361 00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:08.240 are essentially our scores are the same, which I know 362 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.359 sounds insane, but based on you, our scoring get to say. 363 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:14.400 In terms of genre, I'm still rating it according to 364 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:17.319 the original scale, and I am holding the scale fast 365 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:20.119 and saying that I think that a movie like I 366 00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:22.720 think that there are romantic comedies that do rise to 367 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.400 the range of four point twenty five. Uh.
