🍿 Celeste and Jesse Forever
I was browsing through Apple TV+ last night waiting for my son to come home from a Halloween Party (he dressed as Stuart from Letterkenny).
I found this movie from watching trailers from other movies and getting “you might like this” recommendations. I was excited because I really like both these actors.
The best word to describe this moving is ‘safe’. I was surprised to see that the movie was made in 2012 because it felt like man of the newer watered down, and safe movies.
Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg were great. They had good chemistry. The supporting cast was great. They had potential to add a lot to the movie. And I loved the camera work. The move contained a lot of intimate two-person scenes.
The storyline just didn’t take any chances. Why did they break up? I get it, people grow apart and want different things, expect different things from their partners. They touched on all the right topics, but didn’t go into the depth that was needed to make it feel like the two characters really went through anything real. No real growth, just cute.
