What can I say about this Will Ferrell/Julia Louis-Dreyfus-led “dramedy?” Well, the comedy part of Downhill is completely non-existent. And I should have known that the film was a flop when I walked into an empty theater at a prime time on a Friday night.
Emily Henry’s adaptation reaches romance movie standards, but not romance reader standards.
Tom Clancy's Without Remorse has everything a movie director from the 80’s could wish.
A pop star at Radio City Music Hall gets the opportunity to change herself to save her music career.
As noted in the headline, I didn’t like this movie. Not to say it’s the worst thing ever, but it’s just…meh. Nothing much to it. Very generic. No surprises. At the very least, the cast is diverse so I’ll give it that.
