13: The Musical goes from the Broadway stage to the Netflix screen, and the streaming service made the show a man! I don’t know what that means, but basically, I am saying they did an excellent job with it.
Evan Goldman (Eli Golden) is so excited about his Bar Mitzvah in NYC that he can’t wait for the big day. The only problem, his parents recently divorced, and his mom (Debra Messing) is moving him back to Indiana to live with her mother (Rhea Perlman).
Now, his plans for the perfect Bar Mitzvah are ruined because he doesn’t know anyone there. That is until he meets outcast Patrice (Gabriella Uhl). She spends the whole summer hanging around with him, and they become best friends.
However, on the first day of school, that changes when he tries to become friends with popular kids Kendra (Lindsey Blackwell), Brett (JD McCrary), and Lucy (Frankie McNellis). They immediately take a liking to him, and he leaves Patrice behind.
Let’s talk about his new friends. Lucy is best friends with Kendra. Kendra and Brett like each other and spent the summer writing back and forth. Lucy didn’t know, and she has a crush on Brett. Lucy will do anything to get Brett.
Kendra and Brett have never kissed, and Evan comes up with a plan for them to lock lips. When Lucy finds out about his plan, she tells Evan if they kiss, no one will go to his Bar Mitzvah. Now, he has to decide what to do.
What will Evan do? Will he get his perfect Bar Mitzvah? You just have to sing and dance with him and his friends to find out!
I love musicals, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Netflix did a really great job producing it, so it feels like it was created more for the big screen than the little one.
Plus, all of the kids delivered. You forget you are watching young teens starring in this coming-of-age musical.
This is the perfect film that you can enjoy with the whole family. I can’t wait to watch it with my nieces, one of whom is 13. And now I have the song stuck in my head again. Oh yeah, be prepared to have all of the songs stuck in your head for days! And that is not a bad thing.
One of the memorable moments from this season of Stranger Things is when Eddie Munson rocked out to his death strumming out to Metallica’s Master of Puppets.
Well, Joseph Quinn, who played the lovable character, got to meet the band at Lollapalooza. Not only did he meet them, but he also got to play that song with them! The actor did such a bitchin’ job that they gave him a guitar that looked like one from the show and autographed it for him.
I am not a fan of Metallica (Napster, good! Metallica, bad!), but this almost made me like them. But then again, it is the least they can do because the Netflix series helped them climb the charts again by choosing their song.
Guillermo del Toro is reimagining Pinocchio for Netflix, and I am going to imagine it is not happening.
I hated everything about the movie as soon as I saw how ugly they made the beloved wooden boy. He is so hard to look at; I wonder who they made the film for because it obviously is not for kids. And I can’t see adults flocking to theaters to watch it in November.
Are you going to see it? Don’t lie to me because your nose will grow. And these days, it really is not cheap to get a nose job.
Kevin Hart has done buddy pics with The Rock, Tiffany Haddish, Ice Cube, and The Rock. Now, he can add Mark Wahlberg to that list. The two men are starring in Me Time which comes out on August 26th on Netflix.
Hart plays an uptight stay-at-home dad who forgot to have fun. He gets reminded of how wild he used to be when he hangs out with his crazy best friend, Mark Wahlberg. Together they do a lot of things that lead to Hart getting hurt. And as a sadist, I am here for it.
The last painful moment had me laughing the hardest. I have a problem!
I don’t know about you, but I thought that The Munsters was going to be a big screen release. Maybe that is what Rob Zombie wanted. But that is not what he is going to get.
“This fall we are gonna spook-out like it’s 1964! 🎥Yep, THE MUNSTERS and THE ADDAMS FAMILY are returning to the boob tube at the same time courtesy of @netflix ☠️,” the director wrote. “It’s been 58 years since this clash of the titans first happened. 🎃 Perfect entertainment for your pumpkin carving party. 👻”
The good news about the film going to the streaming service is that we are not going to have to pay to hate to watch it. Because you know that is what we are going to do.
The Addams Family he is talking about is the Wednesday Addams series.
