What does Sam do in this situation? What would anyone do?

After Movie Review
What passes as young romance for the film’s intended audience sends out some questionable messages but Hardin is after all super dreamy. Oh and I might have forgotten to mention he speaks with a smooth British accent. He also read books and drives a cool car.

There are numerous moments in the storyline that mirror one’s own experiences of early romances but only for those with a very over developed sense of revisionist reality. No one was actually that smooth ...
Spider-Man: Far from Home Movie Review
The movie is filled with a plethora of insider jokes for fans of the MCU as well as a level of spectacle that rivals almost any other superhero franchise.

Men in Black: International Movie Review
Director F. Gary Gray (The Fate of the Furious and Straight Outta Compton) shows that he can still handle a special effects driven project and keep the human elements appealing. Even the CGI characters are giving substantial personalities, especially Kumail Nanjiani as Pawny. He is used to great comic effects.
