Easter Replacements

This reminded me of some 90's sitcoms with characters coming and going from one room to the other or dashing out to fix a relationship glitch here and there. I think the dialogue was meant to make me cringe at times with embarrassment (did that person really say that?) which adds to the comedy style of the film. Nice that the film was clean and had a decent underlaying message as well as some twists in the story. Nice easy film to watch without overly complex plot lines or character arcs to follow. The filmmakers did a good job with the settings and actors who were easy to track and not mix up.

This was an enjoyable movie to watch which seemed lighthearted but had a nice message. The diverse cast had realistic, finely drawn, strong characters which lent dimension to the story. Each actor had some really nice moments. They were a pleasure to watch.

Easter Replacements is a fascinating family drama, with great acting, and exceptional writing. A married couple going through some strong disagreements, learns that the two couples that they thought were coming to their home, have cancelled and sent two other couple instead. I thought the social tension and the mood were very effective. The story unfolded in ways I didn't expect, and it was very intriguing. In addition to the married couple who is in strong disagreement, we see the relationship dynamics between the other couples play out in very surprising ways as well. This movie is worth your time, watch it!

I thoroughly enjoyed this gem of a film from beginning to end! The actors were all so fun to watch. There were a lot of good funny moments. I thought they were all very good and played off of each other so well! I never found myself getting bored or my mind wonder off (that is a very good sign for me when rating a film). Kudos to writer/director Travis Grenke. He wore a number of hats on this project (he was the editor as well). The pacing of this film was terrific. It moved along super well which is so important and it kept the funny at really nice clip without getting zany or too out there. So for me, this one clearly gets a thumbs up! Bravo folks! Well done!

Not every movie needs to be life and death with world shattering consequences. Your proof is right here. This is a simple, real time, dinner party comedy with a nice range of characters and plots that come together with a great Easter message that remains light on religious overtones.

A married couple is comically pressured into hosting an Easter for 4 strangers and what transpires is full of quirky people, modern references, mistaken identities, and conflicting motivations. There's lots of back and forth leaving you to wonder who, if anyone, will ultimately get their way. And that's the whole fun of it!

I dug the multiracial cast, uplifting score, and just overall positive message this movie had to share with the world.
