Mother, Couch! deceives audiences with a false sense of security through the comedic dialogue and awkward familial encounters before abruptly revealing its true, unsettling nature.

What hurts Bleeding Love the most is its writing. Though it has some funny scenes, it never escapes the shackles of a cookie cutter plot.

Did we need another Pinocchio? Simple answer: No. However, I would like to point out this is not just any Pinocchio film, this is instead a creation from the mind of Guillermo del Toro.

I think I liked Christopher Robin, but I honestly don’t know. The reason I don’t know is because the combined press/public screener I went to had approximately 100 kids streaming in and out of the theater the entire time. I am NOT exaggerating. Combined press/public screeners are common, specifically if the screener is taking place a few days before the film’s wide release, and most of the ones I go to at this point are combination screeners (because I don’t write for Entertainment Weekly or whatever), but this was a very special, unique hell. Most of these types of screeners are fine, and people are quiet and obey the movie manners. But as far as I can recall, this is the first truly “kid-friendly” screener I’ve gone to; usually I avoid them like the plague, but I really wanted to see this Winnie the Pooh movie with Ewan McGregor, because I grew up with Pooh and I love Ewan with all my heart and soul. Alas. It was Not A Good Idea.
