  • My Old Ass (2024)

    1h 29mins

    5/10

    First time watch

    Coming of Age – Romance – Comedy

    A young girl receives some advice from her future self and has to decide whether to follow it during her summer at home before heading to college.

    I didn’t dislike this film, it’s just that I can see that it was made for a different audience than myself. I think that teens and people in their early 20’s will probably love this film.

    I love the concept of being able to talk to your older self. Would you want to know where your future was headed? Would you follow your future self’s advice or would you want to find things out for yourself?

    I liked all the little bits dropped in by Aubrey Plaza’s character that give you tiny insights into what kind of future world she has come from and was left wanting to know more.

    Would not watch again

  • Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)

    2h

    8/10

    Rewatch

    Coming of Age – Friendship – Romance

    Four best friends try to hold onto their friendship while starting their journeys into adulthood and following their own paths.

    I will always have a special place in my heart for the first film, but as sequels go, I really like this one and can enjoy by itself not just as a sequel.

    This film explores first loves and first heartbreaks. It looks at how as you begin to grow up and find your own path in life, you can start to drift a part from your friends where you’re not with each other as frequently as you were when you were younger. It is up to you to put more effort into these friendships and hold onto the ones that matter to you.

    I enjoy each of the girls storylines and the relationships between them all.

    Would watch again
