Amy's Fucket List

nice😂😋

oh

So I now have a crush on Alyson Gorske after watching Obliterated on Netflix, so now I am obligated to watch everything she has ever been in. Amy's F-it List has a premise that could go in a lot of directions and I had no idea going in what kind of tone this movie would have. I expected a light hearted drama which seems like what they were aiming for, but it misses the mark For a brief synopsis, basically our heroine is living a dead end life after the death of her father when she finds out she has a terminal brain tumor, so she and her sister go on a quest to check off her f it list. From the moment the list is introduced everything just feels rushed and nothing is given the weight it should have given the circumstances involved. The moments that should be funny just come off as corny and the moments that should be heart wrenching just feel like nothing. There's no weight to the subject matter. Much like Amy, it feels like the film makers had a list of scenes to get through, but not enough to connect them and better understand the characters. It doesn't evoke any emotion for the heavy subject matter This feels like a rough draft of a better movie. Honestly this seemed like a movie I could have seen in the 90s. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but the direction, script, and acting all do not seem in line with modern film making and cultural sensibilities. One egregious example is the final list item that is just sort of thrown in like an after thought when it should be a huge all encompassing topic. I think we are supposed to surmise that this is the reason Amy's life goes off track, but the whole movie pins this on her father's death, so it just doesn't work and feels like a cheap ploy to shock the audience Alyson Gorske and Angel Prater who plays her sister are fine actors, they just didn't have the right ingredients to make this work. It all just comes off as a senior year film studies project. However, I like the idea and think it could work in a more refined movie, and given my new crush on Gorske I can't give this less than a 5. If you have nothing else to watch on a Sunday afternoon it might help you pass the time while scrolling on your phone and folding laundry.

Magandang pelikula!
