I saw a movie trailer a couple of months ago. I was excited… A new romcom on the way.
I put it in my calendar and I waited.
Today is showed up on Prime Video and I was ready. I got all my evening chores done and I sat down for a treat. Only thing is, it wasn’t a treat.
The movie ‘Maintenance Required’ follows Charlie, a mechanic defending her late father’s garage from a rival shop, unaware that her online crush is the man behind it.
The performance was weak and there was no chemistry.I found myself cringing way too many times.
It was failed execution of a shot at remaking Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan’s ‘You got Mail’. I was a bit disappointed in the male lead, played by Jacob Scipio. I expected better from him, especially after seeing his performance before in Bad Boys for life alongside Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.
I would give it a 2 out of 5 stars…
When will they resume making Romcoms like they used to?
Yesterday I found myself yearning for a good old romcom and I spent an hour and forty five minutes satisfying that yearning with Mrs.Winterbourne (1996).
I want to see something good like the old ones but I want something I can experience for the first time.
Someone tell them movie makers… I’m just a girl, sending a message…Asking them to bring it back like it used to be.
