Joyous little romcom. Throughly enjoyable couple of hours. The story isn't Shakespeare but not everything has to be Shakespeare. It's well scripted and beautifully acted. There is real chemistry between the two male leads that makes it believable. The supporting characters are two dimensional but fulfil their places in the narrative. Great accent from Uma Thurman and lovely to see Sharon D Clarke as British PM too.

Love the fact that the gay romance story isn't tinged with the usual victimhood.

I can recommend this as perfect viewing to sit back and just enjoy. Do yourself a favou, grab the popcorn and relax.

Netflix new Cinderella, enjoyable to a point but a little surprised it's a jukebox musical. The songs don't fit easily in the film and it tries too damn hard to be woke.

Camila Cabello is a fiesty Cinders, Idina Manzel not comp enough.

And I'm sorry to say Billy Porter is an overrated on trick pony.

Some good action scenes, but the film misfires. It struggles to find the right mix of action, comedy and plot.

Entertaing if you just switch off and don't ask any questions about it in your head.
