Starring Ellen Pompeo, Mark Duplass, Dulé Hill and Imogen Faith Reid, Good American Family is a new drama/mini-series about a Midwestern couple’s adoption gone wrong.

Three things, firstly, Ellen Pompeo has a special place in my heart because of Grey’s Anatomy. As a result, I’m inclined to give this a try. Second, I have to find out about the type of fraudulent madness being attempted here, who is involved, and why. Last but not least. I couldn’t help but think of this sketch while this trailer played. I wonder if one exists because of the other.

One more thing, while searching for the link for the above sketch, I accidentally used the search term ‘adult baby’ on YouTube. Be good to yourself and don’t do that.

What are your thoughts on the Good American Family?

Directed by Katie Robbins; Sarayu Blue, Azriel Dalman, Aias Dalman, Christina Hendricks, Kim Shaw, Chase Mangum, Jerod Haynes, Rey Herrera and Derek Webster also star.

Good American Family Release Dates: March 19th, 2025 (US & UK)…

Directed and co-written by Alex Lehmann, Paddletown stars Ray Romano and Mark Duplass as two misfit neighbours in an unlikely friendship.

The two men find themselves on an emotional journey after one of them is diagnosed with terminal cancer.

I’m in for the story, the bromance and to see if I can forget my knowledge and appreciation of Duplass as a comedic actor (The Mindy Project) and stop expecting him to say and do something funny every second, which is basically what I did during this trailer.

Marguerite Moreau, Christine Woods, Alexandra Billings, Kadeem Hardison, Matt Bush, Dendrie Taylor and Stephen Oyoung also star.

Paddletown Release Dates: February 22nd, 2019 (US)…

Starring Charlize Theron, Mackenzie Davis and Ron Livingston, Tully is a comedy about motherhood. One in which a mother of  three children, begrudgingly accepts her well-to-do brother’s gift of a ‘night nanny’, in the hopes that it will help destress her life.

A change in her life certainly happens, just in the most unexpected ways.Tully is written by Diablo Cody of Juno (2007) and Young Adult (2011), while Jason Reitman directs.

I know it’s only January, but this is already one of my favourite trailers of 2018. Right after the ‘frozen pizza, awesome’ comment, I was almost certain that the next clip would show that she’d killed him. But then I realised that she, of course, had absolutely no energy left to spare.

Mark Duplass, Emily Haine, Marceline Hugot, Gameela Wright and Elaine Tan also star 

Tully Release Dates: April 20th, 2018 (US & UK)…

Jeffrey Blitz is the director behind the new Anna Kendrick, Stephen Merchant, Craig Robinson and Lisa Kudrow comedy/drama, Table 19.

Table 19 represents that table at a wedding for the random people that the bride and groom aren’t particularly close to anymore, but feel obligated to invite.

I already like the vibe of this trailer, thanks to the edit and music. Also, brothers Jay and Mark Duplass are the writers which  means at the very least, it should be watchable.

Thomas Cocquerel, Tony Revolori, June Squib, Amanda Crew and Wyatt Russell also make an appearance.

Table 19 Release Dates: January 20th, 2017 (US & UK)…

THE ONE I LOVE (2014): So, Here’s Something Different…

It is well documented that repetition inevitably gets dull and people end up switching off. This is the case with many romantic comedies and generally any genre that repeats the same themes and plot lines continuously and with minimal difference.

The One I Love (2014) can be accused of no such thing. Yes, the narrative contains a classic stage in the long term relationship lifecycle. But the execution offers a very refreshing and unexpected difference in a story about a married couple. A pair trying to find their way back to that great past period in their relationship; a place  where happiness was the default setting. And as they begin their journey, rather peculiar things start happening.

For me, The One I Love is more of a drama than a romantic comedy, even though it has been categorised as all three (comedy, romance and drama) simultaneously.

I say watch it because of the two impressive lead actors. Watch it for the different kind of execution, because you’re somewhat bored of the formulaic nature of rom-coms and need something else. And  lastly, definitely watch it because you want to be pleasantly surprised.

Here’s the trailer.
