<p>Watch this movie on Prime Video</p>
<h2>Love of Your Life</h2>
<p>Maya is a nurse and one day she meets Charlie. Slowly they fall in love, move in together and get married. Charlie is the love of Maya&#8217;s life. Then suddenly everything changes because COVID-19 pandemic is happening. Maya is a nurse so she is working long days, and they also have to be careful because Charlie has asthma. But unfortunately Charlie passes away. And even before the funeral, Maya runs away from her life and goes to Portugal. And now she is figuring out how to deal with the grief and how to move forward.</p>
<h2>Review</h2>
<p>I think I came across the trailler or a snippet of this movie somewhere on social media, and it looked pretty cute, beautiful, and heartbreaking all at once. Naturally, I had high expectations going into it.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s start with the beginning. The first half hour is all about Maya and Charlie meeting, falling in love, getting married, and building a life together. I loved this part! Their relationship wasn&#8217;t perfect, but it was clear that they genuinely loved each other. It was sweet to watch their love story unfold, and I found myself getting invested in their relationship.</p>
<p>Then Charlie gets COVID, and everything changes. Because he has asthma, the situation is especially worrying, and unfortunately, he doesn&#8217;t survive. The next thing we see is Maya in Portugal. At first, I thought she was simply taking a break from life and going on the trip she and Charlie had planned together. However, it quickly becomes clear that she has moved there and is trying to start over.</p>
<p>You can immediately tell that Maya is struggling. The happy, carefree woman we saw at the beginning is gone, and it&#8217;s heartbreaking to see how much she has changed after losing the love of her life.</p>
<p>As I mentioned, I really enjoyed the first part of the movie. It was cute, and engaging. The pacing was also quite fast, as we got to see their entire love story unfold in roughtly 30 minutes. However, once Maya arrives in Portugal, the pace changes completely. Everything becomes much slower, and honestly, it was too slow for my liking. I generally prefer movies with a faster pace, so this was where I started losing interest.</p>
<p>Honestly, I don&#8217;t think there was anything inherently wrong with the movie. The characters were great, the acting was good, and the story was genuinely sad. However, the slow pacing made it difficult for me to stay engaged. I lost that connection and found myself wanting to scroll on my phone instead. It felt like not much was happening, even though the cinematography and scenery were beautiful.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the slow pacing ended up ruining the movie for me. I wanted to love it, especially because the story had so much potential, but it just didn&#8217;t hold my attention.</p>
<p>Of course, this is entirely a personal preference. Some people absolutely love slow-paced movies, and after checking IMDb, I noticed that the opinions on this one seem to be quite mixed. Some viewers loved it, while others struggled with the pacing, just like me.</p>
<p>So, if you enjoy slower, more emotional movies that focuses on grief, healing, and finding yourself again, this might be worth watching. I could still appreciate the good aspects of the movie, even though this movie wasn&#8217;t it for me.</p><p>The post <a href="https://bettietoon.com/love-of-your-life-2026-movie-review/">Love of Your Life (2026) | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.</p><p>&lt;p&gt;The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com/love-of-your-life-2026-movie-review/">Love of Your Life (2026) | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.&lt;/p&gt;</p>

<h2>The Love Hypothesis</h2>
<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" dir="auto" data-start="0" data-end="245">Olive’s best friend, Anh, is refusing to go on a date with Jeremy because Olive has a crush on him. But Olive wants Anh to be happy, so she tells her that she is already dating someone else and is completely over Jeremy. Of course, that’s a lie.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="247" data-end="478">One night, Olive is supposed to be on a date with her new boyfriend, but Anh happens to be in the same lab building that night. Olive panics and kisses the first guy she sees, who happens to be Adam Carlsen, also known as Dr. Evil.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="480" data-end="701" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Then Adam proposes a deal: he’ll pretend to be her boyfriend. This way, Olive can show Anh that she is over Jeremy, while Adam can show the faculty that he is in a relationship and hopefully get the grant for his project.</p>
<h2>Review</h2>
<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" dir="auto" data-start="0" data-end="280">I read the book years ago, when it first came out. So, I still remember most of the story, but not all the details. I do remember that I loved this book. I thought it was cute. So, when they announced the movie, I was so excited. And last weekend, it was finally time to watch it.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="282" data-end="535">I was kind of scared, if I’m being honest. Usually, when I watch a show or movie based on a book, I end up disappointed. I always think the book is way better. And yes, in this case, I also think the book is still better, <strong data-start="504" data-end="535">but I also loved the movie.</strong></p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="537" data-end="957">The characters are both great, but they’re complete opposites. Olive is pure sunshine, while Adam is definitely not sunshine. Everyone else calls him Dr. Evil, and all of the students are scared of him. But together, they are just perfect. You can definitely tell that they bring out the best in each other. Adam becomes nicer to his students, while Olive starts opening up to other people and putting herself out there.</p>
<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" dir="auto" data-start="959" data-end="1400">The story is still fun and cute. I love how awkward their relationship was in the beginning. It was so awkward and cringey to watch, but in a good way. It actually made me laugh because of how awkward it was. I really enjoyed it, especially the sunscreen scene. It was so awkward, but it also made the whole fake-dating situation feel more realistic. I mean, obviously it’s going to be awkward when you’re pretending to be in a relationship!</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="1402" data-end="1739">Seriously, the two hours flew by like it was nothing. I absolutely enjoyed every single moment of this movie. Well, there was one certain guy who deserved a punch or two. That part made me so sad, but I’m happy Olive stood up for herself. Adam did too when he found out what happened. That made for a very satisfying ending to the movie.</p>
<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" dir="auto" data-start="1741" data-end="2045">Overall, I had high expectations because of the book, and I was kind of scared that the movie would disappoint me. But that was totally unnecessary because the movie was so enjoyable and fun. It’s another great rom-com that was released this year, alongside <em data-start="1999" data-end="2023">Voicemails to Isabelle</em> and <em data-start="2028" data-end="2044">One Night Only</em>.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="2047" data-end="2180" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">I have a feeling that rom-coms are finally making a comeback after years of mediocre rom-com movies, and I am absolutely here for it.</p><p>The post <a href="https://bettietoon.com/the-love-hypothesis-2026-movie-review/">The Love Hypothesis (2026) | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.</p><p>&lt;p&gt;The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com/the-love-hypothesis-2026-movie-review/">The Love Hypothesis (2026) | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.&lt;/p&gt;</p>

<h2>Enola Holmes 3</h2>
<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-start="63" data-end="323">Enola Holmes is getting married, but on her wedding day, she starts having doubts. While Tewkesbury is waiting at the altar, she is still at the hotel. Eventually, she decides she can&#8217;t keep him waiting any longer and finally makes the decision to get married.</p>
<p data-start="328" data-end="590">But on her way to the ceremony, Dr. Watson catches up with her and brings her some bad news: her brother, Sherlock, is missing. A day later, she discovers that Tewkesbury&#8217;s mother is also missing. Enola must solve the case and find out who abducted them and why.</p>
<h2>Review</h2>
<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-start="110" data-end="419">This is the third movie in the <em data-start="141" data-end="155">Enola Holmes</em> trilogy. I also think it is going to be the last movie, because it ends with a wedding, and I feel like almost every trilogy ends with a wedding. I really loved the first two movies, so I couldn&#8217;t wait to watch this one as well. Did it live up to my expectations?</p>
<p data-start="421" data-end="766">The short answer to that question is no, it did not live up to my expectations. While I really enjoyed the first two movies, I wasn&#8217;t feeling this movie at all. But let&#8217;s start with the positive things. I still like the way she narrates throughout the movie, and some of the lines were quite funny. The visuals and performances were great again.</p>
<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-start="768" data-end="1208">However, it felt to me that the story was quite boring compared to the other two movies. While I was invested in the other movies, it was hard for me to stay focused on the story. It was lacking something; I think I needed a bit more action and adventure. Most of the action happens at the end of the movie, which is why I started getting bored. I was expecting a lot more after watching the first two movies. The pacing was also a bit slow.</p>
<p data-start="1210" data-end="1676">Unfortunately, it was one of those movies I will forget about in a day, which is sad because I really enjoyed the first two movies. This movie was definitely my least favorite in the series. I honestly think it might be better not to make a fourth movie, although, as I mentioned, I think this was already meant to be the last one because of the wedding. It is time for Millie Bobby Brown to focus on different projects, because I still enjoy watching her in movies.</p>
<p data-start="1678" data-end="1913">It was not any of the actors&#8217; fault that this movie felt a little dull or boring. It was purely the script and the story. But if you are a fan of the other movies, maybe watch this one anyway. I mean, some parts are still fun to watch.</p><p>The post <a href="https://bettietoon.com/enola-holmes-3-movie-review/">Enola Holmes 3 | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.</p><p>&lt;p&gt;The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com/enola-holmes-3-movie-review/">Enola Holmes 3 | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.&lt;/p&gt;</p>

She used to tell her sister everything, and even now she leaves voicemails for Isabelle, updating her on the events of her life.</p>
<p data-start="345" data-end="692">What Jill doesn&#8217;t know is that Isabelle&#8217;s old phone number no longer belongs to her. The number now belongs to Wes, who has been receiving all of Jill&#8217;s messages. Rather than telling her, he finds himself looking forward to each voicemail. Through her stories, humor, and honesty, he becomes fascinated by the woman on the other end of the line.</p>
<p data-start="697" data-end="957" data-is-last-node="">Determined to meet her, Wes travels to San Francisco. As they get to know each other, they slowly fall in love. But there&#8217;s one thing Wes hasn&#8217;t told Jill: he&#8217;s the one who has been listening to all of the voicemails she thought she was leaving for her sister.</p>

<p data-start="255" data-end="429">And it did not disappoint at all! It gives <em data-start="298" data-end="315">You&#8217;ve Got Mail</em> vibes, but in a more modern way. However, compared to the Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan movie, this one is a lot sadder.</p>
<p data-start="431" data-end="798">The movie starts with a compilation of Jill and her sister to show how close their relationship was and how much Isabelle was a part of Jill&#8217;s life. Isabelle had been sick since she was a little kid, which made their bond even more special. Their relationship was beautiful, but also heartbreaking. I&#8217;m not kidding when I say I was already crying after 10–15 minutes.</p>
<p data-start="800" data-end="1127">The story is just so beautiful. It&#8217;s all about Jill&#8217;s relationship with Isabelle and how the voicemails she leaves for her sister eventually lead to her own love story. The movie is an emotional rollercoaster because you go from sadness, to feeling hopeful, to happiness, to heartbreak, and it all ends with a feel-good ending.</p>
<p data-start="1129" data-end="1552">The main characters were very likable. I mean, Wes is keeping the secret that he is the one receiving the voicemails, which isn&#8217;t great. But I could understand why he did it. He thought this was her way of grieving, and he didn&#8217;t want to take that away from her. I really liked Wes and Jill together, and, as expected, the acting was pretty good. I really enjoyed this movie, and I&#8217;m happy they cast Nick and Zoey together.</p>
<p data-start="1554" data-end="1746">The only thing that made me cringe a bit was some of the slow-motion compilation scenes. There was one moment when Jill was checking a guy out, and those shots felt unnecessary, in my opinion.</p>
<p data-start="1748" data-end="1964" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">But overall, I absolutely loved this movie. It was really good, and I would definitely watch it again. The acting was great, and the story was a beautiful mix of romance and a heartfelt exploration of grief and love.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Office Romance</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jackie is the CEO of Air Cruz, and she runs a tight ship. One day, her best lawyer gets into an accident involving a burrito, and Daniel Blanchflower has just started working for Air Cruz. He immediately has to step up. As a lawyer, Daniel has to work closely with Jackie, and he doesn&#8217;t mind that at all. From the moment he first saw her, he fell in love. As they spend more time together, they grow closer and closer, but they try to keep their distance. Dating a coworker is against company policy, and this isn&#8217;t exactly the right time to start a relationship anyway because of the lawsuit against Jackie and Air Cruz.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Review</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I was sort of excited when I saw a new rom-com coming to Netflix. I mean, the movie starred Jennifer Lopez, and in the early 2000s, I was obsessed with her rom-coms. I loved watching them. At the same time, though, I wasn&#8217;t sure if I was going to like this one. I watched the trailer and got some weird vibes from it. I wasn&#8217;t convinced it was going to be a great movie.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After watching it, I&#8217;m still not sure how I feel about it. There were some parts I genuinely liked, but there were also quite a few cringeworthy moments.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s start with the positives. It wasn&#8217;t all bad, and I still enjoy seeing Jennifer Lopez in rom-coms. Honestly, I loved her outfits and overall style in this movie. I think Jennifer Lopez looks good in anything. The acting was pretty solid from both the main cast and most of the supporting characters.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I especially loved Sidney Bloom (Betty Gilpin), Jackie&#8217;s right-hand woman. She was funny most of the time, and her facial expressions were fantastic. George Dudek from HR (Tony Hale) had very little screen time, but he did an amazing job as well. I also loved Daniel&#8217;s sister, who is in jail. I think she was the funniest character in the entire movie. I enjoyed the cultural differences between the USA and England, too. At times, the movie even gave me some good early-2000s rom-com vibes. There were definitely a few scenes that worked really well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now for the things I liked less. Right from the beginning, I got a Hallmark movie feeling. Some scenes felt a bit cheap. I don&#8217;t really know how to explain it, but if you&#8217;ve ever watched Hallmark movies, you&#8217;ll probably understand what I mean. There&#8217;s a difference between a polished movie and a typical Hallmark movie. I&#8217;m not saying Hallmark movies are bad, but the production quality often feels lower. I got that feeling from this movie every now and then, although there were also some scenes that looked much higher quality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then there were the jokes, and this is the biggest reason I gave the movie only 3/5 hearts. It was all a bit over the top. The movie felt like a constant stream of jokes. I read another review that said this movie was made for people with a terrible attention span, and I kind of agree. Jokes are important in a rom-com, but not every single minute. Sometimes it felt like the movie was trying too hard to keep the audience&#8217;s attention.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My least favorite part was probably the childbirth scene. Was it really necessary to make it so explicit? I would have deleted that scene entirely, along with the jokes they made while Sidney was giving birth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overall, I have mixed feelings about this movie. There were moments I genuinely liked and enjoyed, but there were also scenes that weren&#8217;t very funny and were sometimes even a little cringe-worthy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rating: 3/5 hearts.</strong> <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2764.png" alt="❤" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2764.png" alt="❤" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2764.png" alt="❤" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Watch this movie on Netflix</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Remarkably Bright Creatures</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tova, an elderly woman who cleans the local aquarium, needs extra help after an accident makes her job more difficult. Meanwhile, Cameron Cassmore is searching for his father, but with little success. In the meantime, he takes a cleaning job at the aquarium.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tova teaches Cameron everything he needs to know, including the fact that he should keep an eye on Marcellus, the octopus who enjoys sneaking out of his tank for nighttime adventures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Marcellus is old, and he knows the end of his life is approaching. After witnessing Tova’s accident, the octopus becomes determined to do one last thing before he dies: help heal Tova. And the new cleaning guy might just be the key to making that happen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Review</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This movie is based on the book by Shelby Van Pelt, which had been on my wishlist for a while. At the same time, I wasn’t entirely sure if it would be my kind of story, even though I had heard nothing but positive reviews and knew it had an amazing rating on <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.goodreads.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Goodreads</a>. So instead, I decided to watch the movie adaptation first.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And honestly… I don’t even know where to begin. This might be one of the best <a href="https://www.netflix.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Netflix</a> Originals I’ve seen in a long time. I usually check out most of Netflix’s new releases, but they often end up being average or sometimes just bad. Then, on rare occasions like this, you come across something truly special.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The cast was wonderful. Sally Field was phenomenal, and I also really loved Lewis Pullman’s performance. Honestly, everyone in this movie did an amazing job. The casting felt perfect.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The story itself was beautiful and emotional. I had expected it to be a slow-paced movie, which was actually one of the reasons I hesitated to read the book in the first place, but it never felt slow to me. From the very beginning, I was completely invested in the story.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I especially loved how Marcellus, the octopus, tried to heal Tova and fill the emptiness in her heart. Tova has been through so much, and Marcellus makes it his final mission to help her find a little happiness again. The bond between Tova and Marcellus was truly special and one of the most heartwarming parts of the movie.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The ending made me cry. Honestly, I think I saw it coming, but that didn’t stop me from crying hard. I’m not even going to deny it. I also don’t want to explain exactly why it made me emotional because I don’t want to spoil too much, but the ending beautifully combines sadness, love, and family.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re looking for a movie to watch during your next movie night, I highly recommend this one. It’s a beautiful, heartwarming drama, and I genuinely loved everything about it. I honestly couldn’t find a single thing I disliked. The acting was amazing, the story was amazing, and the emotional moments felt incredibly real.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We definitely need more movies and stories like this.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even though I watched the movie before reading the book, and therefore can’t compare the two, I still absolutely want to read the book someday.</p><p>The post <a href="https://bettietoon.com/remarkably-bright-creatures-2026-movie-review/">Remarkably Bright Creatures (2026) | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.</p><p>&lt;p&gt;The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com/remarkably-bright-creatures-2026-movie-review/">Remarkably Bright Creatures (2026) | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.&lt;/p&gt;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Roommates</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Devon has just graduated and is about to start college. She’s hopeful about this new chapter; maybe now she can finally make real friends. Devon has never felt like she truly belonged in a friend group, and she hopes that will change.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At an introduction event to meet other students, she tries really hard to make a new friend, but people think she’s a bit weird. Then she meets Celeste, and they have a good time together. They even decide to become roommates.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But the friendship Devon imagined turns out to be nothing as she expected; it slowly turns into a war of passive aggression.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m not even sure how to start this review. I was just bored and wanted to watch a movie, so I picked this one. I had zero expectations, although the trailer looked decent. But I ended up having a lot to say about it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let’s start with the positives. I think <em>Roommates</em> definitely had potential. I didn’t hate it, and some of the actors were good. The actress who plays Celeste did a solid job. I mean, the character is terrible, but she portrayed that really well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, Celeste isn’t the only main character; there’s also Devon. She’s the shy, “weird” girl who has never really had friends, which was somewhat relatable. But I felt like Sadie Sandler (who plays Devon) was missing something. At first, her facial expressions felt a bit off, like she was in pain or something and for the rest of the movie, her performance was just… meh. I think what was missing was charisma.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that brings me to my next point. I’m okay with a “nepo baby” if they can actually act, but right now, I’m not convinced Sadie Sandler is a strong actress. Especially when you realize that her father, Adam Sandler, produced this movie, it kind of feels like this project exists because she wants to act, and he’s helping her. That said, I hope she proves me wrong. I usually give actors (and authors) several chances before I completely give up on them. Maybe it was the wrong movie or she just needs a little bit more experience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Devon also develops a romantic interest in her TA, Michael, but there’s basically zero chemistry between them. Honestly, it felt like she had more chemistry with her brother than with Michael.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, about the story. According to<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt37540875/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title=" IMDb,"> IMDb,</a> this is supposed to be a comedy… but where? I didn’t laugh once. I would describe it more as a coming-of-age story. The delivery robots felt completely pointless, and overall, the execution could have been much better.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The movie also has a “story within a story” structure. It follows two roommates who are constantly fighting, while Dr. Schilling tells them a story about Devon and Celeste. In my opinion, it would have been stronger if they had removed that outer storyline entirely. It didn’t add much and just felt unnecessary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So overall, I’m not the biggest fan of this movie. I’m giving it a 2.5 out of 5. I still think it had a lot of potential, but lately it feels like many movies have great ideas and very poor execution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I would recommend skipping this one; it was pretty forgettable.</p><p>The post <a href="https://bettietoon.com/roommates-2026-movie-review/">Roommates (2026) | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.</p><p>&lt;p&gt;The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com/roommates-2026-movie-review/">Roommates (2026) | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.&lt;/p&gt;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reminders of Him</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kenna has just been released from prison after being involved in a car crash with her boyfriend, Scotty, in which he died. She survived the accident. Now, she has returned to the small town where she fell in love with him. But the main reason she’s back is to see her daughter, the child she had with Scotty, who was taken away from her at birth while she was in prison.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, Kenna is determined to prove that she can be a good mother.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Review</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I had very low expectations for this movie. I’ve watched two other movies based on books by Colleen Hoover (<em>It Ends With Us</em> and <em>Regretting You</em>), and I wasn’t the biggest fan of those stories. <em>Regretting You</em> especially felt a bit boring to me. Still, I wanted to give this one a chance because the trailer looked promising.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And honestly, it wasn’t that bad. I actually think this might be the best story by Colleen Hoover so far. I know we’re also getting <em>Verity</em> this year, but I’ve read that book and wasn’t that impressed—it was just okay for me. Still, I’m curious to see how the movie adaptation will turn out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Back to this movie called <em>Reminders of Him</em>: I thought it was a beautiful but sad story.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kenna hasn’t been able to see her daughter because she was in prison after the accident where Scotty died. She left the scene, which is why she went to jail. But, of course, nothing is exactly as it seems—her side of the story is more complicated. She writes letters about what really happened that day and continues to write to Scotty, who was the love of her life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now that she’s back in town, people refuse to hire her because of her past. Ledger is one of the people keeping her away from her daughter, but they start spending more time together. He begins to see that she isn’t dangerous, and once he learns what really happened, he starts to help her.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kenna was a likable character. She respects the boundaries set by others but still holds on to the hope that she’ll one day see her daughter again. The chemistry between Ledger and Kenna was really good, which made the story more engaging. It’s also quite emotional. Imagine losing the love of your life, spending years in prison, and then not being able to see your own child.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So yes, I would say this is my favorite Colleen Hoover story so far. It has romance, drama, and emotional depth. I actually had a pretty good time watching it. It definitely wasn’t as bad as I expected.</p><p>The post <a href="https://bettietoon.com/reminders-of-him-2026-movie-review/">Reminders of Him (2026) | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.</p><p>&lt;p&gt;The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com/reminders-of-him-2026-movie-review/">Reminders of Him (2026) | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.&lt;/p&gt;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wuthering Heights</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Catherine lives with her abusive father, and one day he brings home another child. Catherine names him Heathcliff, and over time they become close. Heathcliff often tries to protect her from their father’s abuse. As they grow older, they develop feelings for each other. However, Catherine believes she cannot marry him because of his lower social status. Instead, she marries another man, and Heathcliff disappears. Years later, they meet again, and it becomes clear that they still have strong feelings for each other, feelings they cannot ignore.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Review</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Years ago, I bought <em>Wuthering Heights</em>. I wanted to read more classics. Well, guess what? I still haven’t read it. Mostly because I’m a bit scared. English is not my native language, and I’m afraid it will be too difficult to understand. So I decided to watch the movie instead, without reading the book first. I didn’t even know what the story was about.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I wasn’t sure if I wanted to watch this movie, if I’m being honest. I had read and heard so many negative reviews. Most people said it was super boring and that they had wasted two hours of their lives they would never get back. So yes, I was a little hesitant. But I still wanted to form my own opinion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the first hour or so, I actually thought it was pretty decent. It felt like the perfect movie for a slow Sunday, and I was somewhat invested in the love story. But after that, I started to lose interest. I had no idea how it was going to end, but it felt like something was missing—or maybe the movie was just too long. It’s around two hours, and I feel like it could have been shorter to keep the audience’s attention.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The acting was pretty good, and I enjoyed seeing Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi on screen. They did a great job, and I was rooting for them. However, I didn’t like the choices their characters made (which might mean I really should have read the book years ago). Maybe their decisions make more sense considering the time period they lived in.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Visually, the movie looks amazing. It is beautifully shot, but the story itself didn’t blow me away. It’s not a movie I would watch again or recommend. I will probably forget about it soon—it just wasn’t very memorable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The only thing I’m wondering now is what the book is like. I mean, it’s a classic for a reason, right? So many people love it. I think I’ll have to read it soon, because after watching this movie, I don’t really understand the hype around this tragic story.</p><p>The post <a href="https://bettietoon.com/wuthering-heights-2026-movie-review/">Wuthering Heights (2026) | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.</p><p>&lt;p&gt;The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com/wuthering-heights-2026-movie-review/">Wuthering Heights (2026) | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.&lt;/p&gt;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Regretting You</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When Morgan was young, she was dating her boyfriend Chris, and she was best friends with Jenny, her sister, and Jonah. Then Morgan got pregnant with Clara, and she and Chris married young. Now, seventeen years later, they look like the perfect, happy family.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But Morgan discovers a huge secret when Chris and Jenny die in a car accident, and it turns her whole life upside down. At the same time, she doesn’t want her daughter Clara to know the truth about her father. Clara adored her father and Jenny—it would ruin her.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Review</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I started doing my Saturday night movie nights again, and this time I decided to watch this movie. It has been on my watch list for a long time, and I was curious to finally see it. I hadn’t read the book before watching the movie. In fact, I had no intention of reading the book, but I did want to watch the movie.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First of all, the realization that these actors are now old enough to play the parents of a teenage daughter is mind-blowing and a bit shocking. In my mind, we all stay young, and I sometimes still think that I am too immature to be a parent. But my age says otherwise. The fact that these actors are now playing the role of parents was an eye-opening moment, haha.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have mixed feelings about the movie. There were some good things, but I also had moments when I thought they could have done it better. But let’s start with the positive things.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The actors were pretty good. I think this is the first movie I’ve seen with Mckenna Grace in it. I’ve heard about her before, but I don’t remember seeing a movie with her in it. The only thing I could think about, though, was how similar she is to Kiernan Shipka. Not just the looks—they have the same kind of energy. And of course, I already knew Dave Franco and Scott Eastwood from other movies, and they didn’t let me down. The acting was good.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The only thing I have some issues with is the story. The story is about Chris and Jenny, and they have a secret that Morgan finds out about pretty quickly. The moment they die, the secret is revealed, and then the rest of the movie is basically about Morgan keeping that secret from her daughter to protect her. But that’s the whole movie. I was expecting a little bit more. Maybe it would have been better if the secret had been revealed later in the story. If a movie revolves around a secret and then reveals it within the first 30 minutes, the rest of the movie can start to feel a bit pointless.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m not saying I thought this movie was terrible, but I did keep wondering if that was it. I think I was expecting a little bit more. I also wonder if the book might be a bit more interesting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overall, it was just an okay movie for me. The acting was good, but I think the story was lacking something. I hope the next Colleen Hoover book-to-movie adaptation will be better. That movie is called <em>Reminders of Him</em>, and I saw the trailer—it sounded pretty interesting. It’s also on my watchlist, so hopefully you’ll be able to read a review of that movie here on my blog soon.</p><p>The post <a href="https://bettietoon.com/regretting-you-2025-movie-review/">Regretting You (2025) | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.</p><p>&lt;p&gt;The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com/regretting-you-2025-movie-review/">Regretting You (2025) | Movie Review</a> first appeared on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bettietoon.com">Bettie Toon</a>.&lt;/p&gt;</p>
