For the second week in a row, the pickings are slim for home viewing. While there’s 4 movies to choose from, MHT is less than impressed with the options. Here are this week’s recommendations on what to buy, rent, stream and skip:
The Angry Birds Movie —MOVIE HOT TAKE REVIEW—
Super Simple Synopsis: It’s that stupid game you downloaded and can’t stop playing on your phone but now it’s a movie.
Why Buy?
You have children and bright colors keep them occupied.
Why Rent?
Curiosity is getting the best of you. Damn that curiosity!
Why Stream?
Like the way Angry Birds ended up on your phone, you stream practically everything made available to you.
Why Skip?
Come on, really? It’s a stupid mobile app.
MHT Verdict: Buy it!* (*You can skip it and not miss too much!)
It’s a tough week and this is the best of a sorry bunch of options.
A Cinderella Story: If the Shoe Fits –NO REVIEW–
Super Simple Synopsis: It’s like Cinderella but set today.
Why Buy?
You have a daughter who can’t get enough princess.
Why Rent?
You can’t get enough princess.
Why Stream?
You are a princess.
Why Skip?
What’s a princess?
MHT Verdict: Stream it!* (*You can skip it and not miss too much!)
I’m not sure why we need this.
God’s Not Dead 2 –NO REVIEW–
Super Simple Synopsis: The sequel to the faith-based God’s Not Dead.
Why Buy?
You bought God’s Not Dead.
Why Rent?
You watched God’s Not Dead and enjoyed it.
Why Stream?
You’re trying to spice up Bible Study night.
Why Skip?
Faith-based movies do nothing for you. (Ya heathen!)
MHT Verdict: Skip it!* (All of the others have * next to them so I figured this one should, too!)
While there have been a few decent faith-based films in the last 12 months, God’s Not Dead 2 does not make that list.
Sundown –NO REVIEW–
Super Simple Synopsis: If The Hangover was about high schoolers going to Spring Break.
Why Buy?
This movie is like really cool looking and it’s got Steve Aoki music in it and stuff.
Why Rent?
Look at the options this week, bro!
Why Stream?
There might be a naked chick in it.
Why Skip?
You’re a hall monitor.
MHT Verdict: Rent it!* (You can skip it and not miss too much!)
I’m so glad this week’s round-up is over.
