A Family Thanksgiving (2010)
Too cliché and extreme even for Hallmark
I am a big fan of Hallmark movies but this one was too corny and clichéd even for me. The high-powered attorney who finds out how "empty" her life really is when she is forced into an alternate reality with a hubby and kids. Instead of wearing designer shoes and living in a downtown metropolis, she magically finds joy in being a stay-at-home soccer mom that potty trains.
There was no attempt at all to balance the main character's life. In short, I felt like a teenager wrote the script and that the movie was telling viewers that either a person could be unhappy and completely career focused or blissfully happy being 100% family oriented.
Destiny (2014)
Not bad. Leads were inexperienced but solid
I was actually surprised by this movie. I thought it was going to feel like a low-budget movie and be filled with clichés. But it actually had some beautiful shots of the island and the supporting characters were pretty good. Mystic and the taxi driver and the taxi driver's wife were fairly good.
It was a little too obvious that the actor and the actress that played the main couple were more singers and not the most experienced actors but they still did fairly well. Gave a fair depiction of uptown and downtown and Kingston and Rural Jamaica. All in all a good date night movie where the nice guy and the nice girl end up together in the end.
