Sweethearts (2024): Two college freshmen who decid

Sweethearts (2024): Two college freshmen who decided to stick with their high school sweethearts have to pull a ‘Turkey Dump’ and break up with them over ‘Drunksgiving’ the one chaotic night before Thanksgiving in their hometown that puts their codependent friendship to the test.

Review Excerpt: Sweethearts is decent, if a bit uneven. Some of the jokes are pretty sharp and genuinely funny, and then some fall completely flat. As Sweethearts is being marketed as a rom-com, it’s easy to predict where Jamie and Ben’s friendship is headed… or is it? This is a movie that is clearly trying to circumvent the typical rom-com. It asks, “What if Harry and Sally just decided to be friends?” but I am not sure it comes up with a very satisfying answer.

🎉 Happy New Year everyone! I am under no impres

🎉 Happy New Year everyone! I am under no impression that this year is going to be easy. There’s so much uncertainty and fear and the future doesn’t look as bright as it could have been. But I’m determined to find some hope and light and take care of myself and the people I love as well as I can. I hope you all do the same as well.

Here are my 10 favorite movies this year. And my 10 favorite rom coms I reviewed. My resolutions will be in my stories soon but I want 2025 to be the year I focus more on TRCC and less on doom. ❤️ you all!

❤️ Return to Me (2000): A man who falls in love with the woman who received his wife’s heart must decide which woman it is who holds his heart.

Review Excerpt: If you are looking for a sizzling rom-com, you won’t find it in Return to Me. Grace and Bob remain relatively chaste as a couple, as Grace is insecure about her surgery scar, and Bob is still navigating his own feelings after the death of his wife. But not every romantic comedy needs a hot, beneath-the-sheets romp. Grace and Bob fall in love despite the lack of physical intimacy, and I have to credit Hunt for making Grace and Bob’s love story just sweet enough without hedging into overly sappy territory.

It Happened on 5th Avenue (1947): A New Yorker hob

It Happened on 5th Avenue (1947): A New Yorker hobo moves into a mansion and along the way he gathers friends to live in the house with him. Before he knows it, he is living with the actual home owners.

It Happened on 5th Avenue is a familiar story to most of us – a cranky rich man learns from the less fortunate what it means to be truly happy. We wish to see it happen in the real world, but alas, we have to find it in fiction instead. And It Happened on 5th Avenue does a fine job balancing the message with humor rather than delving into something overly sentimental. I suppose my biggest criticism is that the movie felt uneven at times, and some situations came across as contrived. The addition of two more families within the mansion gave a claustrophobic feel to the movie – the characters weren’t developed or significant enough to matter, so they just came across as filler. It wants to preach the meaning of humility and chosen family, but I didn’t care enough about half of the tenants in the mansion to really care much when they all had to say goodbye.

🕺 The Merry Gentlemen (2024): To save her paren

🕺 The Merry Gentlemen (2024): To save her parents’ small-town nightclub, a Broadway dancer stages an all-male, Christmas-themed revue — and meets a guy with all the right moves.

Review Excerpt: The Merry Gentlemen comes in at 87 minutes, and it definitely feels rushed. There is little time for any character development or for the romance to blossom. More time is spent on the revue performances, and honestly, if you’ve watched these guys dance and strip off their shirts once, you really don’t need to see much more of it – yes, I am sure there may be some people out there who disagree with me there! But time was wasted on the awkward stripping where those minutes could have been used to give the movie some more tangible plot.

🧣 Hot Frosty (2024): Widow Kathy magically brin

🧣 Hot Frosty (2024): Widow Kathy magically brings a snowman to life. His innocence helps her heal and find love again. They bond before the holidays, but he’s doomed to melt.

Review Excerpt: I can’t lie; I assumed the movie would be terrible as soon as I saw the title. Netflix is very hit or miss with their rom-coms, especially their holiday rom-coms, and hello… the title was Hot Frosty. The premise was as ridiculous as the title. But I knew I was going to watch it anyway. And now that I’ve done that, I’ll admit it: Hot Frosty was not a great movie, but it wasn’t terrible either! While I wasn’t overly impressed with Kathy as a character, I do think Chabert and Milligan had nice chemistry. I found Kathy and Jack’s blossoming romance to be adorable, complete with a cutesy Christmas montage of baking cookies and snowball fights. It’s earnest in its sweetness, which can be hard to find in these ooey-gooey rom-coms.

I think what works in the movie’s favor is that the entire cast seems to understand what kind of movie they’re making. Nobody is phoning in their performance, but it’s clear they’re having fun with it. That certainly made it more enjoyable for me.

🔑 The Apartment (1960) Review Excerpt: Wilder

🔑 The Apartment (1960)

Review Excerpt: Wilder and Diamond’s script is full of sharp dialogue and witty banter, drawing plenty of laughs while still somehow conveying a poignant sadness. With The Apartment, Wilder is pretty clear in its message: the world’s morality is surely deteriorating under the thumb of degenerate men in positions of power. Under Wilder’s direction, the film manages to make even the darkest themes – i.e., adultery and attempted suicide – humorous and, dare I say, entertaining while wrapping it up in the beauty of the Christmas season. It gets the message across without ever feeling immoral or tasteless, and that is the mark of an incredible director. The Apartment is a timeless film and definitely one to watch this time of year.

🌖 Fly Me to the Moon (2024)

Review Excerpt: This is a movie where the entirety of the film isn’t dependent solely on its two main leads but instead showcases the talent of its entire cast, giving even the most minor role some depth. I have to give props to director Greg Berlanti, and writer Rose Gilroy for creating two fully-developed, fascinating characters in Kelly and Cole. It’s a long movie, but I didn’t really mind it so much with Tatum and Johannson at the helm.

Fly Me to the Moon wholly embraces the period in which it takes place, which definitely adds to the charm. It’s colorful and entertaining, and its romance is nestled perfectly against the backdrop of one of the most critical times in American history. This movie is definitely worth a watch for all fans of the genre.
