“Lady Bird” REVIEW

Saoirse Ronan is back in yet another gut wrenching Dramedy that is receiving high reviews and has already been named best movie at the 2017 New York Film Critics Circle this year.

Greta Gerwig‘s Lady Bird is a coming of age movie about a mother and daughter relationship and what happens when 17-year-old, Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson gets ready to go to college.   Actress Laurie Metcalf plays her judgmental mother whose tough love drives the basis for Lady Bird wanting to go to an East Coast school away from her hometown of Sacramento.

All in all, the dramedy includes some very real moments of what nearly every mother and daughter go through at some point and time and shows that though they may not always get along, the love between them is ultimately stronger than any other love.

Lady Bird came out in theaters November 1 and has since its release already brought in over 12.5 million  domestically at the box office.  It’s a movie for anyone who is a daughter or has a daughter as it shows what each has to go through when getting ready to leave home for the first time.

Lady Bird is still playing in a theater near you.

Schumer “Snatches” Two

Amy Schumer‘s mother daughter comedy, Snatched fared well over the Mother’s Day weekend as can be expected.  Though it wasn’t enough to knock the “Guardians” from the top spot, it did manage to take number two at the box office with roughly 17 million domestically.

Schumer stars as Emily Middleton, who is about to embark on a vacation to Ecuador with her boyfriend, until he dumps her.  Now she convinces her mother, Linda, played by Goldie Hawn, to take his place.  Her mom reluctantly agrees.  All goes well, until Emily meets James played by Tom Bateman, who wants to take the two woman to explore the jungle, where Emily and her mom get snatched by bad men.  Now it’s up to the Emily to bond closer to her mother, in order to escape and return safely to the US embassy with the help of their friends whom they met in the hotel, Ruth, played by Blackish star, Wanda Sykes and Barb, played by Joan Cusack.

At an hour and a half, Snatched, in true Schumer style, will have you laughing from the first line on.  It’s full of humor as well as adventure as you see two strong women face the depths of South America and work on their relationship as a mother and daughter.

Snatched came out mother’s day weekend and was the perfect movie for the occasion.  See it in a theater near you.
