The Philadelphia Story

48Watch it awake.

I laughed, and then I minded who had to bend so the men could forgive her.

The review

I laughed more than I meant to. A divorced heiress is about to marry a man who bores her, and her ex-husband and a reporter arrive. Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, James Stewart. The wit is the pleasure. She is humbled so the men can forgive her. A house can watch it. Notice who is asked to bend. I noticed late, which is how a clever picture gets past a tired person.

It was a hit with the smart audience, not the biggest gross of its year. Smart is not the same thing as fair. The reporter has a job. She has a wedding she does not want. I would watch it with older kids who can hear a joke and still see the target. The suitable man is a bore. The interesting men arrive to correct her. I did not applaud the correction.

Journal

Keep The Philadelphia Story in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 48. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

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

Consider this

Singin' in the Rain

60 instead of 48

Singin' in the Rain is still a comedy film, and it scores 60 instead of 48. What you gain is industry: Rehearsal, diction, the unglamorous part of a picture.

The eight

5
Industry
A reporter comes to work; her days are a wedding, not a job.
7
Household
A divorce and a second wedding, with the ex-husband back in the room.
4
Piety
She is humbled so the men can forgive her, not because she chose to stop.
4
Courage
The ex and the reporter walk into a wedding, and the risk is social.
4
Republic
A reporter lets the public in, and the fortune stays a private sport.
4
Temperance
The wit is the pleasure, and the picture keeps offering the next joke.
6
Truth
The boring match is the false promise, and she is bent until the men approve.
4
Stewardship
Left over is the wit, and a woman who had to be the one who bent.

Despicable Me 2

48Watch it awake.

The girls are the point. The spy plot is the sale. A family can sit with it and talk.

The review

Gru did not become good in the abstract. He became a father, and the second film is mostly about whether he will protect that fact or miss the glamour of being feared. The spy story is disposable. The kitchen is not.

A child can watch this. Say, after, that the funny yellow helpers are the advertisement, and the adoption is the story. If they only quote the minions, watch something quieter next.

The Lego Movie

59 instead of 48

The Lego Movie is still a animation film, and it scores 59 instead of 48. What you gain is republic: A city of locked pieces, which is a bad republic, and they unstick it.
