Not to be confused with other films called Mother’s Day … I’ve not seen all of them, but none can be as bad as this one.

It’s JLo, so it wasn’t  going to be bad … and it wasn’t … though predictable … like the bad guy who never dies. Interesting that director and writers all women.

Maybe it should be 4 stars? Great little bit of history ... But I don’t know the real story well enough to know how much poetic license was employed. I liked the graphic reminders (and associated pixel resolutions) spread throughout the film, that were so mind blowing to everyone at the time. I also had no idea that Maxwell was so involved in the story.

Does the fact the we started watching it - had to stop half way through and still haven't yet felt inspired to go back and finish it tell you anything?

I’m not a big Hanks fan .. often skipping over his movies … ‘because’. So glad I didn’t jump this one. Just lovely. And yes I shed a tear or three. 

Maybe there is something about having low expectations before watching a movie?

The usual fodder … even ‘names’ can’t change some movies.

Cute. Predictable and scenes lifted directly from John Wick,  The Fast and Furious franchise, Tarantino’s catalogue .. and more … all of them failing to better the originals. Then again, I didn’t pay anything to see it (except my time).

I think Ryan Reynolds has decided to make a new business out of quick cameos.

Also delighted to see 10 seconds of John Cho (Cowboy Bebop)

Long time since I watched this - but I have watched it more than once - which is rare for me ... Came to mind this morning as I was reading the news and my mind revisiting the theme song and then thinking about Schlesinger - and then Timothy Hutton and of course the amazing Sean Penn. Well worth a **focused** watch.
