Bank of Dave (2023)
Disappointing considering the rating
To be fair this was a delightful story and does make for a movie adaptation. However they really were insistent on playing to the tune of all northerners are lovely, friendly people and southerners are all pompous snobs. According to Bank Of Dave, the only chance anyone from London has of being a good person is to go and spend some time in a wholesome northern town like Burnley like Hugh does. There is also the issue of this forced romantic plot where there is zero chemistry between the couple. A nice story, but wasn't funny enough to be classed as a comedy. The northern grandstanding and southern downtread is a bit too much, the acting is quite weak, overall quite disappointing.
Last Train to Christmas (2021)
Got boring real quick but not too bad
Very refreshing to see movies trying to bring back an 80-90's magical, whimsical element. I particularly enjoyed Last Christmas and Yesterday of late. This started off quite interesting, but wore thin quick and it was hard to care about any of the mediocre characters. Some of the acting really didn't fit in with the era they were supposed to fit in, although the sets were good. Had enough to hold my attention, but I feel like it jumped about a bit too much. Ok, but was not overwhelmed.
You Belong to Me (2021)
Slow and predictable
I was that bored I was literally counting every breath that I took. What is an actor of Casey Affleck's calibre doing, taking on this garbage?
