Father of the Bride
I did not want to like this movie. I have a fierce loyalty to the original with Steve Martin and Martin Short (yes those guys from Only Murders) and boycotted this remake.

Laugh at me or skip this review altogether, but that won’t change the fact that Jennifer Lopez is an icon.

We see her from the beginning of her career … Continue reading Halftime
