Nicole Kidman is such a good actress, but for the past ten years or so I can't take her seriously because her face is so frozen. It really takes me out of whatever I'm watching.

[@nikkio.9990]

Agreed. I love her. Moulin Rouge is one of my favorite films of all time, but now I just find myself staring at her bizarre face.

[@MultiOdom]

I couldn’t finish Expat because of this

[@ThisisBrandi]

100% same.

[@aurghh]

i feel the same about zac efron

[@nikkio.9990]

@@aurghh yes!!!

[@Bryan-qd6pc]

Joseph - "I'm not trying to make fun of them, but...(proceeds to read them both like a #1 Best Seller)"

[@millsykooksy4863]

LMAO

[@RachelMishael]

😂🧱🧱🧱 “A BRICK” 13:20 I nearly choked on my french fry, my WORDDDD

[@Zenobiadream]

Kathy Bates looked absolutely gorgeous in this film!! She’s soooo incredible in everything she does 😊

[@flowrinse9671]

Agreed. She was fun.

[@IllusiveBunny]

Not Kathy Bates being the cutest of the main cast.

[@animami-8]

It’s definitely a have in the background watch. Zac and Nicole’s faces were so uncanny valley 🫥

[@cindyjemutai9812]

I really couldn't get past their faces Jesus. I was so distracted

[@Bexinnamon]

Thanks for pointing out the awful wigs 😂 that yellow blonde hair irked me. And the Malibu house surprised me in the beginning i was like she's a rich girl acting like she's struggling

[@spenx09]

Listen, if you have Nicole's skin, you wear sunscreen at night 😂😂😂

[@RichardHannay]

Zac looks like a brick? 😭

[@chance757]

i hollered 😭😭

[@kellyrob4296]

Ohhh, the Paperboy…I remember that one!! It was very unique, I recall. I need to revisit!✨

[@jandmvideos9051]

The biggest issues with this movie are that it is both boring and annoying, and because of Joseph, I couldn’t stop thinking about out how bad Nicole’s wig is.

[@WhytheBookWins]

"...a reunion after she peed on him in the paperboy" Now I need to look into the paperboy and see what that was all about lol

[@LibrasReact]

Are we now in the era of cougar movies 😂

[@tthewizard7667]

why are big name actors and actresses starring in netflix movies now?

[@TechnicJunglist]

I miss when Nicole's face had emotion.

[@Penelopepetal]

Joey King tries extra hard to be cutesy and quirky and she always lands on just being annoying.

[@BluePrada]

hold on i'm gonna have to get a snack for this one 🍿

[@redhoneytea]

Not a brick 😭😭😭

[@jgirlinluv55]

I laughed so hard lol

[@BennyFordPerfectlySafe]

Now I have that Madonna song stuck in my head.

[@sweeney60]

What makes a 24 year old think she knows what a woman in her 50s is thinking and feeling? Talk about a reach.

[@veganpeace7890]

I loathe kitten heels!!!

[@TechnicJunglist]

They really are hideous

[@redrumblond]

The worst shoe ever created 😭

[@williamatkleber]

I think it had the most important features of a romantic comedy: hot people you believe fell in love. Plus, Nicole’s fear of getting involved with a young hot actor is not that she will get dumped when he moves on. Rather, it is that she does not want to have to « keep herself small » if her lover’s career fades . Loved that

[@SeekingGodsWill]

Zac Efron is a damn fine actor. This Joey King I think just took a huge leap in her career/skill. She did such a good job here playing off the other actors around her. She was so damn believable, and I am inspired by her performance. Nicole Kidman looks like they have to use CGI on her face. I'm not joking there are a few shots I think are touched up with CGI. She does a good job though as the Mom, like a pretty damn good job. I unexpectedly really enjoyed this movie. Fun to hear you fellas discuss this one. Best to you.

[@Msanabanana1973]

Yes, in some scenes Nicole has absolutely no wrinkles or lines under her eyes - it looked super weird and I couldn’t figure out what that was about, but CGI explains it 😂

[@ACF1972JHB]

‘They don’t walk among normal people’. This sounds like a long advertisement for designer label consumption aspiration. The title made me think this would be a GRADUATE inspired situation. 😂 Whatever happened to the formidably talented Ms Kidman’s delightful freckles and beautiful curly red hair? Covering the freckles may explain the garish make-up (cue Emily Gilmore: ‘The garishness! The garishness!’; cue my horror of knowing anything about that show at that level of detail).

[@jucxox]

Ok I need to pause this one and go watch the movie first now lol

[@Symon_First]

🫢 I see the side eyes 👀 are out 😁

[@katiacomk]

Love your reviews so much!!! I thought Kathy Bates looked younger than Nicole Kidman 😂😂… and seeing Nicole and Zac kissing gave me the ick. Didn’t see any chemistry. The actress playing Zara has a lot of charisma and potential. Although the situations were very unbelievably (I too noticed the weird scene by the see “isn’t it beautiful 😂”) she carried the film as she was the person who suffered (self-inflicted) the most and had an arch. I think 2 is a generous score but I suppose I did end up being sucked in (mostly in disbelief and hoping it to get better because of the quality of these actors).

[@anapaulino3882]

Thanks for so much ❤

[@emjay8709]

Dang, I love Living Out Loud it’s so sweet

[@supervixen8556]

Living Out Loud is a great film and this film isn’t worth the crap on the sidewalk Holly Hunter could’ve walked over the streets of Harlem going to the Jazz club. That film was excellent and so underrated!

[@Bexinnamon]

I stopped the movie halfway to come here...so far it's not giving 😬 I needed some Fish Jelly shady review to help me😂😂😂😂

[@tosomt5419]

efron's "alleged" facial implants really aged him.

[@laci2966]

These two didn’t have chemistry

[@Msanabanana1973]

Zack looks like He-man 😮 It’s also strange that he’s super tanned and Nicole is sooo pale 😅

[@evitagiron]

I’m wondering if Joey King’s character is also jealous of her mom’s love life? Meaning the fact that she may not have one. Just a thought…I haven’t seen the film yet

[@supervixen8556]

I couldn’t get past Nicole’s crap wig. She always wears the most obvious wigs. She’s a blonde and didn’t need a wig!

[@flowrinse9671]

Maybe she losing hair? So unnecessary if not…

[@mashenka6189]

I only watched the preview, and I also can’t get past her yellow blonde hair and puffy face. .i loved Nicole in eyes wide shut…she peaked in that movie…now Zac,please…wtf is wrong with his face? He was such a beautiful young man …

[@millsykooksy4863]

I thought this movie was unintentionally hilarious. It was such a stupid idea but I actually liked it because it was completely preposterous. I found myself laughing hysterically over the absolute ridiculousness parts of this flick.

[@clutch2827]

And people got paid for this.

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

Not just paid. Millions!😂

[@jujutaylor2186]

This sounds terrible. Ive never seen joey king in anything good honestly

[@kimberlyrobinson1978]

Sounds stupid but I would probably watch it 🤔

[@AlmostPerfect3d]

What is Zac doing to his face. It looks bloated in interviews, idk it's weird...

[@puspavelai8353]

Joseph's line of questioning the daughter's logic of 'protecting rich Mom' angle was honest! Maybe low in the comedic... I mean, got me thinking the script was trying to be clever by switching roles of a "concerned Mother" to a daughter instead - but it still falls flat🤨

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

Such a pity the script was not strong, everything else looked like this could be good, cast and director both standouts to me

[@a_hsalem6314]

The problem with this movie was the daughter. The daughter is meant to be 24 but acts like a 13 year old. The daughter is what ruined this movie.

[@brandonchristopher9657]

13:15 looks like a brick 🧱 💀

[@collinmiller4721]

Any excuse to watch Nic, Zac, and Kathy.

[@gamerdrops]

Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head

[@debbie991]

Nichol and Ethan are in a race not to look like themselves....

[@mimiM1970]

Did you misspell their names on purpose?? Lmao

[@redrumblond]

Sounds boring and more writing by out of touch people you called it Joseph. I do love Kathy Bates also. But who is writing these movies? And i think Nicole is well past 50 isn't she?? Lol 😂 I gotta see this just for the wigs 😂

[@boolife7927]

I truly enjoyed this movie

[@anapaulino3882]

💜💜💜

[@jgirlinluv55]

Is it worse than the brooke shields netflix movie?

[@mashenka6189]

I watched 10 min of that garbage film..

[@alyssaann893]

Yes it is 😅

[@evitagiron]

😂😂😂

[@shantoreywilkins651]

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🌞🍶🍿🍿🍿

[@Bamgeutcutiepie]

i couldn't get past the first 20 minutes.....

[@katiacomk]

You didn’t miss much 😅

[@tambulee]

I stopped about 15min in

[@katiacomk]

You didn’t miss much 😅

[@mikekelly4702]

Great face work

[@Msanabanana1973]

Nicole and Zack need to lay off the Botox 😮

[@ssme_]

Sounds terrible
