In reply to the discussion: Don't look up reviews are pretty negative. We really enjoyed it. [View all]The Roux Comes First
(1,547 posts)By the level of negativity and near-invective when I checked reviews after watching. I went into it wholly unprepared and with no expectations, and that probably sets me apart from most of those paid by the review, who seemed at least resentful that their over-the-top expectations for intricate Matrix-like plot twists and innuendoes were not fulfilled.
As for me, I came to realize that four years of watching the yam gleefully metastasize in plain sight made much of the movie seem like a nightmare suddenly inhabited by friends and relatives and difficult to watch too closely. There were good guffaws along the way, though. And I hope I can find the closing Eden scene and flip the script by reinvesting it with the original yam cast.
As an aside, huge kudos to you for your self-awareness as to your movie- and sports-watching difficulties and to both you and your husband for your amiable resulting life adjustments. The definition of a partnership!
