A child is used as money first, and sweetness does not pay that back.

The review

It opens with a child used as money. A gambler accepts her as an IOU. Adolphe Menjou is the man, Shirley Temple the marker, and then he cannot live around her without changing. A child can watch it. The film thinks the sweetness fixes the stake. I don't.

He does change, and that change is the only decent move in the setup. A man who can't keep treating a girl as a betting slip has been caught by her. The catch is not a refund. If you show it, stop when she is handed over as the debt and say that in a plain voice. A cute ending doesn't pay the opening back.

Journal

Keep Little Miss Marker in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 39. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

The Devil Wears Prada

51 instead of 39

The Devil Wears Prada is still a comedy film, and it scores 51 instead of 39. What you gain is industry: The office is work: deadlines, competence, a boss who can tell when you have not tried.

The review

Four suburban men wanted a last wild weekend on a river a dam is about to bury. They got a trip they were not built for. The river was the point, and then it was not. One of them is changed in a way the film does not heal. That refusal to tidy the ending is the honest part.

Adult. Do not describe the assault, and do not make a contest out of who can sit through it. The dam was already going to spend the river for people who do not live on it. One of them carries that change home. If someone in the room goes quiet, stay with that, not the canoe.
