The Plus One

I love Ashanti so much but she really played in my face with this one. The storyline was all over the place. Nothing in this movie made any sense. It was a disaster from start to finish. I'm sitting here at 1am pissed because I wasted my Saturday night and $6 that could've gone in my gas tank...or anywhere else but here. Cedric, this movie was beneath you. Ashanti, I can't believe you allowed them to let you sing part of Foolish at your "wedding." Why was the brother sick? We will never know because they never told us. What happened to Marie? Half of the characters did not have mics. The camera quality was off on multiple scenes. This movie made me so upset.

Whoever wrote this and directed it was very in touch with toxic masculinity and extremely out of touch with progressive, conscious interpersonal relationships. A movie where the bride was silenced and gaslit into being abused and disrespected continuously. Very hard to watch, we honestly almost didn't finish it, but it was like a train wreck, we couldn't look away. The music is atrocious and almost makes a person want to rip their eyeballs out. It reminded me of a Lifetime movie, very driven by the patriarchy, no depth, and completely nonsensical. I love the actors, they did a great job with what they were given. So this is nothing against them. A word of advice for the creators in charge, romcoms that are original and up to speed with at least the current median vibration of intelligence, are likely to fair better in an exponentially evolving world.
