Alec Toombs is at the tee with this spoiler-free review of #HappyGilmore 2 -- a challenge for the #Netflix-based sequel -- and says it isn't an eagle or a birdie nor is it a bogey – it’s pretty much on par. #moviereview filmyap.substack.com/p/happy-gilmor…

Timed for the release of #HappyGilmore2, the crew over the Rough Cut Retrospective #podcast offer their scorecard of #AdamSandler movies to see what belongs in the hall of fame. filmyap.substack.com/p/podcast-the-…

I remember first seeing Lola Kirke in "Mistress America," imho still one of the most underappreciated movies of the last decade, and thinking she was going to be the next big indie film star. filmyap.substack.com/p/mistress-ame… 1/

Reed Mathis says #OhHi, opening in theaters this week, goes for a funny and insightful look at modern relationship expectations but is handcuffed by its lack of clarity or emotional deftness. #moviereview filmyap.substack.com/p/oh-hi

Christopher Lloyd says #Shoshana, opening in a limited theatrical run this week, is a harrowing and illuminating look at the violent emergence of Israel under British rule, though the romance suffers in comparison to the political thriller portion. filmyap.substack.com/p/shoshana

In today's #classicfilm column, Christopher Lloyd checks out Neil Simon's #TheGoodbyeGirl, an agreeable '70s odd couple romcom that reminds us that guys who look like Richard Dreyfuss could once be romantic leads. #moviereview filmyap.substack.com/p/reeling-back…

I recommend #DontLetsGototheDogsTonight, in limited theaters this week. Embeth Davidtz steps behind the camera for the 1st time for this evocative memoir of a little girl experiencing the end of white rule in Rhodesia. #moviereview filmyap.substack.com/p/dont-lets-go…
