Enjoy Hollywood and Bollywood movies at 9xmovies
Robert De Niro plays Ben, a recently retired widower
who interns at a promising online clothing store run by an inexperienced but
determined young businesswoman, Jules (Anne Hathaway). Get ready to enjoy the
best entertainment ever and pamper yourself for the best weekend at 9xmovies. Since I liked
"Vacation" so much, I decided that this movie was a must-see, as it
had a great cast and the trailer promised light entertainment. And at first, it
paid off.
I decided to reflect on the film in this review
The open viewing window gave the film an airy feel, a nice flow, and some quirks that made it memorable. It seemed lighter and more modern than The Devil Wears Prada. Anne Hathaway seems like a good director; she's kind and friendly, but perfectionist and not very sympathetic. Ben, played by Robert De Niro, is a cheerful and very elegant gentleman who perfectly conveys the charming atmosphere of an elderly gentleman. I decided to reflect on the film in this review.
The overly positive atmosphere was sometimes
unrealistic
I started hopeful and some
positives pointed in the right direction, but now I wonder how good this review
could have been. This film was followed by another film. When Jules doesn't
like Ben, things start to fall apart. The overwhelmingly positive atmosphere
was sometimes not genuine; I was nervous, felt something sinister was about to
happen, or was completely unaware that I was watching the film. We learn that
Jules has a family, which seems rather odd. I started to like the side characters
more than the main characters.
The film lost its independent focus
Then Ben wins Jules' favor and everything goes back to normal. Then a robbery occurs. Of course, the movie is just about a burglary where an email is accidentally deleted, but to me, it felt like a robbery. Suddenly the film lost its free charm and became an endless situation comedy that only served to extend the film's running time. In a single scene, the film has gone from cute to incomprehensible and verging on disastrous. But don't worry, it doesn't end there. It gets even worse! When the original film with airy sound was abandoned, it was quickly replaced with a new one.
The scene that led to the change
Thankfully, it wasn't as
silly and comical as one might expect, given the scene that led to the change.
No, it was actually what I would call an unintentional melodrama. Either Jules,
a woman who has built her business from the ground up with dedication, style,
and grace... Or too much but not enough female power. I'm not sure. What turns
a confident businesswoman (who's fair to her employees and practical enough to
give her customers her cell phone number when they're in trouble) into a
weeping mess of indecision and opportunism? What's the point? After all, this
film just wants to educate us about feminism, sexism, gender roles, and so on.
The husband is usually the main character
I have my own opinion on
this, but either way, it's not a good story. It is neither funny nor
entertaining. Jules' family life falls apart because she spends all her working
hours at work, and then her husband Matt (Anders Holm) makes "a stupid
mistake" and cheats on her. Oops, this makes the husband a character the
protagonist usually meets at the beginning of a romantic comedy and who gets a
happy ending, except for his word that he's feeling better. He forgives her but
continues to work just as hard, so all is well, but nothing has changed.
It is presented in a bad light and is either
The film's message is that
it's not Jules' fault that Matt cheated on her, which of course is true; it was
so obvious to me that it felt weird and unnecessary how big the problem was.
But the fact that Jules' continued absence wasn't an excuse or even a weak
excuse for cheating, didn't mean it was right to be so workaholic, and that's
what was implied. Seriously, in every movie where the man is never home and is
obsessed with work, he is portrayed in a bad light and is either a flawed
character who needs to change or the real villain - and this moral is true.
Drama comes from somewhere
Do we have to accept that Jules puts his work before his family? Back to the criticism of entertainment as the political agenda grows, entertainment takes a back seat. Very little comedy remains and everything dissolves into a puddle of tears - an unconvincing, dead-eyed puddle. The sad characters drag the film along. The drama comes out of nowhere and tries to steer the plot in a bad direction. The character arc Jules built at the beginning is abandoned in favor of avarice and thinness, and the problem built at the beginning, that the company needs a CEO, suddenly isn't as urgent and is dismissed out of hand.
The most permanent and best
character in the whole film
Ben also loses interest, but
he remains the most consistent and best character in the entire film. Other
characters are completely overlooked, such as Becky (Christina Scherer), who
feels unappreciated and undervalued, and her boyfriend (Adam Devine), who tries
to curry favor with her.
The charm of the beginning
was further pushed
The film stars Nat Wolff. (It's part of a rather amusing sequence where Ben is interviewed for his job and almost none of the questions are about him. But that was at the beginning of the film, We are bringing you the best entertainment ever on cloudy. when it was still a good, potentially funny, quirky movie. But that quickly passed. And the charm of the beginning was further dashed by the rapid and uninspired descent.
