The Plus One

I normally don't review movies like this but I also try to avoid even watching a minute of movies like this. How do these get made? Why do these movies get made? I don't even feel like going through it....terrible writing. Terrible acting. Plot is ridiculous. I hated so many people in this. I hope you are reading this before you hit play and can actually go find something else. Anything else.i don't blame Cedric for being in this if he was handed a suitcase of money and told he has a couple scenes. I hope when I wake up tomorrow that the memory of this movie and even me writing this review will be gone from my memory.

Whoever wrote this and directed it was very in touch with toxic masculinity and extremely out of touch with progressive, conscious interpersonal relationships. A movie where the bride was silenced and gaslit into being abused and disrespected continuously. Very hard to watch, we honestly almost didn't finish it, but it was like a train wreck, we couldn't look away. The music is atrocious and almost makes a person want to rip their eyeballs out. It reminded me of a Lifetime movie, very driven by the patriarchy, no depth, and completely nonsensical. I love the actors, they did a great job with what they were given. So this is nothing against them. A word of advice for the creators in charge, romcoms that are original and up to speed with at least the current median vibration of intelligence, are likely to fair better in an exponentially evolving world.

This movie was painful and obvious. The bride was being hushed and dismissed so much it's disgusting. Not funny and this was borderline mentally and emotionally abusive. Marie was intrusive, disrespectful, and crossed all boundaries. And her best friend was so insensitive. The gaslighting, the CRINGE!!! Why was she not allowed to have her way for her own wedding? She was made to feel wrong about that woman totally ruining HER weekend and it's disgusting. I hate this movie, this is not a comedy, it's triggering. Whoever came up with this, huge fail. Waste of some amazing actors talents. Seriously.

Known actors so gave it a try but within few minutes realized this is a low quality movie a-l-a Tubi or Plex. Ashanti is clearly a singer not actress. Couldn't even get through half the film. Unfortunately a skip this time. Scenery is pretty and they tried to make it light hearted for the viewing audience!

Poorly written and/or edited. So many things didn't make sense, and the flow was disjointed. I was left with questions that I really didn't care enough to know the answers to. The parting in Ashanti's wig stole the show for me as my eyes were automatically drawn to it's odd coloring every time she was in a scene. The single exception was the scene where they were waiting for Marshall to arrive so they could eat. Definitely needed some color-matched concealer in that part! This would be another issue that would lend to this movie's Tubi-like feel. The acting itself wasn't horrible, but I was left feeling like maybe some key points may have been left on the cutting room floor...I would hope.
