| 3.5 | Song Sung Blue | Docudrama, Biography, Music | Theater | 2026/01 |
| Y | This movie is based on the true story of Lightning and Thunder, a husband and wife Neil Diamond tribute act. The duo experienced success and heartbreak in their musical journey together. The movie was sadder than expected due to some unexpected twists that happened in their lives. Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson were fantastic as the two main characters. | |||
| 3.5 | An Unexpected Valentine | Comedy, Romance | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| Y | Was surprised to see a Hallmark movie on Netflix. We had not seen this Valentine's movie with Lacey Chabert and Robert Buckley. We like both actors and enjoyed the silly adventures they went through on Valentine's day. Of course there were one or two scenes that had us rolling our eyes but that is to be expected from a Hallmark movie. | |||
| 2 | Ricky Gervais: Mortality | Comedy | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| N | I've given maybe recommendations to some of Ricky Gervais prior specials but this one had too many off-putting jokes. I did laugh at some jokes but overall it was a disappointing set. | |||
| 3 | Sleeping with Other People | Romance, Comedy, Drama | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| Y | Had never seen this 2015 movie with Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie. There were lots of good actors we like in the cast too. It wasn't a wishy-washy Hallmark story. The characters had flaws and the story took some interesting turns. | |||
| 3 | Love Life - Season 2 | Comedy, Romance, Drama | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| Y | Did not realize there was a second season released on HBO back in 2021. We watched this on Netflix because it was leaving the service soon. This season followed a different set of characters with a few minor call backs to season one. The show was engaging even though it portrayed some of the negatives of dating and relationships. | |||
| 2 | Joy Ride | Raunchy Comedy | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| M | We knew Ashley Park from her work on Emily In Paris. Gave this comedy a shot based on the trailer. Had no idea how bad the plot would be. It started out okay but got progressively stranger and had some over-the-top raunchy humor. We stuck through the whole movie which got a little better at the end. If you go into the movie knowing there will be raunchy humor then you might enjoy it. | |||
| 4 | People We Meet on Vacation | Romance, Comedy | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| Y | Fun romantic comedy to start 2026. The two leads were good. Flashbacks helped explain how the characters ended up where they were. Typical happy ending but we both enjoyed it. | |||
| 3.5 | American Boy | Comedy, Stand-up | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| Y | Entertaining comedy special by Marcello Hernandez. | |||
| 3.5 | This Is Spinal Tap | Mockumentary, Comedy | HBO | 2026/01 |
| Y | Watched this 1984 classic for the first time. Knew about the mockumentary but had never seen it. Rob Reiner did a great job pulling together a cohesive story about a fictional rock and roll band. All the dialog was improvised, which is amazing. It was fun to see some actors, like Billy Crystal, in small bit parts. Chuckled at many of the "old" clips from the bands earlier years. It really felt like a true documentary. | |||
| 4 | High Potential | Whodunit, Comedy, Mystery, Drama | Hulu | 2026/01 |
| Y | We started watching the first season in 2024. Enjoy Kaitlin Olson as a quirky single mom with a unique mind that figures out crimes. The show airs on ABC but you can also watch it on Hulu. | |||
| 3.5 | Minx | Quirky comedy, Raunchy | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| Y | We tried this show on a whim and were pleasantly surprised. Ended up watching both seasons in a few days. The story is about a young feminist joining up with a pornographer to create the first erotic magazine for women. The first season aired on Max and the second season was picked up by Starz. Sounds like there will not be a third season. (Note: There is a lot of male frontal nudity in the shows.) | |||
| 2.5 | Confessions of a Shopaholic | Romance, Comedy | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| M | We watched this 2009 movie because it was leaving Netflix in days. There are a lot of good actors in the cast. The story started off so stupid. We were ready to stop watching after 10 minutes. We were too tired to use the remote. Ended up watching the whole movie. It turned out okay. | |||
| 3 | Emily in Paris: season 5 | Comedy, Drama, Romance | Netflix | 2025/12 |
| Y | The 5th season was interesting at times. Most of it takes place in Rome, where the series left off. We still like Emily and the supporting characters. This is an enjoyable soap opera of silly twists and turns in the advertising industry. | |||
| 2.5 | Oh. What. Fun. | Holiday, Comedy | Amazon | 2025/12 |
| M | Michelle Pfeiffer plays a wife/mother who is underappreciated by her family during the holidays. There is a scene, which feels like Home Alone, when she gets left by her family. When she finally snaps and goes on a road trip the story gets even crazier. There are many scenes that had us rolling our eyes. | |||
| 2.5 | Our Little Secret | Holiday, Comedy, Romance | Netflix | 2025/12 |
| M | The movie started off a little rough. We almost stopped watching it because it felt stupid. The Kristin Chenoweth character was over-the-top. The story got better and it had a decent ending. | |||
| 3 | What's in the Box? | Game show, Reality TV | Netflix | 2025/12 |
| M | We started watching this game show on Netflix due to Neal Patrick Harris being the host. There are only 6 episodes so it is a quick watch. We didn't like all the contestants at first but the show grew on us. There were some interesting twists to how the game was played. | |||
| 2.5 | No Sleep 'Til Christmas | Holiday, Comedy, Romance , Quirky | Netflix | 2025/12 |
| M | This holiday rom-com had a strange twist. We kept watching even though the setup seemed outrageous. The two main characters eventually grew on us and there was an appropriate happy ending. | |||
| 2.5 | A Suite Holiday Romance | Holiday, Drama, Romance | Other | 2025/12 |
| M | This was an okay holiday movie. We've seen the female lead in other holiday movies. | |||
| 2.5 | Being Eddie | Biography, Documentary | Netflix | 2025/12 |
| M | Eddie Murphy has had a long, interesting career. I recall his start on SNL and the popular movies from the 80s. There were some good snippets from other comics and news stories about Eddie. The documentary was a little slow at times. The final third seemed focused on when Eddie returned to SNL to host. It was nice to see that Eddie is a grounded family man and did not flame out like some other performers. | |||
| 3 | Stranger Things: Season 5 | Drama, Fantasy, Horror | Netflix | 2025/12 |
| M | It's been a while since season 4. Watched the recap and got back up to speed. The "kids" are much older now. Watched the first four episodes in one day. There was an interesting twist at the end of the 4th episode. I think they did a good job tying up the story in the 2 hour finale. | |||
