Why "People We Meet On Vacation" Did Not Meet Its Full Potential
Emily Henry’s adaptation reaches romance movie standards, but not romance reader standards.

Laney Grey is hopelessly in love with her step-mom, Ryan Keely. Luckily for her, the feeling's mutual! Although everything's been going great between them, there's still room to explore and have some fun. In fact, Ryan has an idea... You see, Ryan saw Laney's old babysitter, Kenna James, in passing and thinks it'd be fun to have her join them sometime. Nikole Nash and her stepsister Aften Opal are worried about getting in trouble with their stepmom, Katie Morgan, after accidentally breaking a vase she owns. However, when they discuss the possibility of Katie punishing them, Aften looks more dreamy than worried. Gianna Dior greets Hazel Grace, a friend who has arrived to spend the night. They are both 19 years old and haven't seen each other for a while. Gianna's stepmom Katie Morgan joins them in greeting Hazel as well and it immediately becomes apparent that Katie and Hazel have a crush on each other. It is obvious that Gianna is becoming stressed, leaving a certain unease.

Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that. The film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Latinx immigrants and uses gore and misogyny for shock value that never serves any purpose. The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.
A sweet slice-of-life anime that visualizes all the ways we creatively hide our vulnerabilities from the world.
Clearly, in the end, Allison raised a responsible child because she knew that her "friend" was doing something that made her uncomfortable and turned away from her. No worries, Super mom was already one step ahead of her.
Much more than a meme, 'Barbenheimer' actually diversifies viewer bases and spreads the important message of both films wider than they otherwise would have!
With mismatched eyes, a willingness to experiment with hair color and style, and a rail thin frame, Bowie always drew attention. But he shunned gendered attractiveness, creating his own space somewhere in between. This hallucinatory and often nonlinear 2022 documentary is a perfect salute to David Bowie’s life and career. Rather than interviewing those that knew Bowie, the standard convention for biographical portraits, director Brett Morgen mostly lets the artist’s images, performances, videos, and words speak to capture the essence of the artist. Bowie was more than just a pop star. He painted, sculpted, acted in films, and was a thoughtful and articulate person who gave sincere answers to even the most shallow interview questions.
