- Materialists: A Modern Rom-Com with Heart
If you’re searching for a trending film that brings a fresh twist to the romantic comedy genre, “Materialists” (2025) is a must see. This rom com, directed by Celine Song, explores the world of luxury dating in New York City, blending humour, ambition, and the search for genuine connection. In this ShowScorer review, we’ll break down the plot, highlight the best and worst moments, and share why “Materialists” is making waves among movie fans and critics alike. Plot Summary “Materialists” follows Lucy Mason (Dakota Johnson), a talented matchmaker at the exclusive agency Adore. Her job is to help others find love, but her own romantic life is far from simple. Lucy is caught between her charming ex, John Pitts (Chris Evans), a struggling theatre actor and waiter, and Harry Castillo (Pedro Pascal), a wealthy new suitor who seems to offer everything she’s ever wanted—except certainty. The film’s story dives into the tension between authentic connection and the allure of material success, all set against the backdrop of New York’s glamorous dating scene. The supporting cast, including Zoë Winters as Sophie and Marin Ireland as Violet, adds humour and insight into the realities of modern dating. The witty dialogue and sharp observations about status, ambition, and vulnerability make “Materialists” more than just a standard rom com. The city itself is a character, with its bustling streets, high-end fashion, and luxury venues providing a visually stunning setting for the drama. ShowScorer Favs One of the best things about “Materialists” is the cast’s chemistry. Dakota Johnson delivers a standout performance as Lucy, balancing vulnerability and ambition in a way that makes her journey feel authentic. Pedro Pascal’s portrayal of Harry is both magnetic and mysterious, while Chris Evans adds emotional depth to John, making the love triangle believable and engaging. The supporting cast, including Zoë Winters and Marin Ireland, brings humor and complexity to the story. Their interactions with Lucy highlight the challenges and absurdities of dating in a city obsessed with status. The film’s direction by Celine Song is sharp, capturing the energy and anxiety of modern romance. The wardrobe and set design are not just stylish but reinforce the themes of materialism and aspiration, with fashion choices that make the world of “Materialists” feel both aspirational and grounded. Roger Ebert calls the film “brutally honest and bracingly contemporary” in its depiction of dating (Roger Ebert) . Chris Evans, in particular, is praised for bringing “depth beyond its genre trappings,” making his character more than just a typical rom com love interest. Empire highlights the film’s “sharp eye for modern romance,” noting how the visuals and social commentary set it apart from other romantic comedies (Empire Magazine, August 2025). Celine Song herself describes the film’s central theme: “Wealth is the most seductive thing; it is the greatest drug that is possible in modern society” (ABC) . This perspective is woven throughout the film, making the story’s exploration of materialism feel both timely and relevant. After devastating audiences with Past Lives, Celine Song has created another impossible love triangle in Materialists. (Supplied: Sony Pictures) ShowScorer Flops While “Materialists” is entertaining and visually appealing, it does have its flaws. The plot follows some familiar rom com beats, and a few supporting characters could have been developed more. Empire points out that “the story follows familiar rom-com beats, but the energy and anxiety of dating in a city obsessed with status is captured well.” At times, the film glosses over the more complex realities of materialism, leaving some themes less explored than they could be. Some critics have noted that the screenplay could have delved deeper into the darker side of ambition and the sacrifices people make for love and success. The film occasionally opts for a lighter touch, which, while enjoyable, may leave viewers wanting more emotional depth. The resolution of the love triangle, though satisfying, feels somewhat predictable, and certain storylines are left unresolved. Feature Image: Sony Pictures. The Verdict “Materialists” is a stylish, contemporary rom com that balances humour and heart. The film’s exploration of ambition, vulnerability, and the desire for connection resonates with anyone who’s ever navigated the complexities of modern relationships. What sets “Materialists” apart is its ability to capture the energy and anxiety of dating in a city where status and success are always in play. The film doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it offers a fresh take on familiar themes, thanks to its strong performances and sharp direction. The visual appeal, from the fashion to the cityscapes, adds another layer of enjoyment. Making it a trending film that’s perfect for fans of modern romance and city life.

- Lilo and Stitch Live Action Review: A Beautiful Half-Story
Lilo and Stitch live action remake - IMBD The long-awaited Lilo and Stitch live action remake has finally landed. But does it live up to the legacy of the 2002 cartoon classic? For many fans, this one’s been a long time coming, a chance to revisit the heartwarming story of family, belonging, and a chaotic little blue alien who stole everyone’s hearts. Visually updated and reimagined for a new generation, this version of Lilo and Stitch live action brings with it both excitement and a fair bit of curiosity. With modern effects, fresh and flawed performances, and a few changes along the way, there’s a lot to unpack. But as always with reboots, here’s the big question: was this remake really made with 'ohana in mind—or is it just another shiny nostalgia cash grab? Film’s SPOILER Overview The Lilo and Stitch live action plot sticks closely to the heart of the original, even with a few modern tweaks. Set on the lush island of Kaua‘i, the story follows Lilo, a quirky and lonely Hawaiian girl being raised by her older sister Nani after the tragic loss of their parents. When Lilo wishes for a friend, she ends up adopting what she believes is a dog—but it turns out to be Stitch, a genetically-engineered alien experiment who crash-landed on Earth while escaping capture. Chaos, laughs, and a surprising amount of emotional depth follow as the two outsiders form an unlikely bond. With alien agents, and Jumba being the new antagonist on Stitch’s tail and social workers watching Nani’s every move, the story becomes a heartfelt look at chosen family and unconditional love—all with that signature Lilo and Stitch mix of humour, weirdness, and warmth. ShowScorer Favs Storyline Look, I get that some fans were disappointed. With copyright dramas around soundtrack licensing and a tighter budget, Disney had to adjust a fair chunk of the original story. That meant cutting or reshaping some scenes, and removing a few beloved Lilo and Stitch characters like Captain Gantu and Pleakley from the main spotlight. But you know what? Even with all that, they still managed to keep the heart of the story beating. The family bond, the weird but deep connection between Lilo and Stitch characters—that was all still there. And to be fair, they made an effort to keep the vibe of the original soundtrack too. They couldn’t get full rights to all the songs, but the opening scene especially felt musically close to the 2002 version, and I appreciated that nod. Honestly, I cried when I thought Stitch was about to die. That moment was still raw, and it reminded me of why this story hit so hard the first time around. Robert Ebert expressed that the producers are " careful about preserving the most beloved details of the original but making it more inclusive." and I have to agree. CGI Animation Speaking of Stitch—he looked amazing. The animation and CGI were genuinely impressive, especially for a film that clearly didn’t have the deepest pockets. Every eyebrow wiggle, every chaotic leap—it was spot-on. A huge part of that magic came from the fact that Chris Sanders , the original 2002 director and the voice of Stitch, returned for this version. That familiar voice brought so much authenticity. It felt like the old Stitch was right there again, just in a new setting. Consequence wrote " Compared to the blank faces of the lions in Jon Favreau’s The Lion King, the CGI Stitch is a massive improvement. It also helps that Camp and the effects team really do integrate him seamlessly, without ever crossing over into the uncanny valley. The result is that Stitch remains as he’s always been: A dangerous scamp who becomes easy to love, by the end ." Lilo & Stitch live action remake - IMBD Actress - Maia Kealoha (Lilo) And then there’s Lilo—what an absolute standout. For such a young actress, she completely nailed the character. Maia Kealoha , an upcoming 6 year old Hawaiian actress had all the weird, bold, emotional energy that made Lilo so unforgettable. I really believed her. Even when the rest of the film felt a bit patchy, she held it together with real heart. The Economic Times said it best: “the rising talent who’s giving new life to a Disney classic” ShowScorer Flaws Casting & Performance While the Lilo and Stitch live action had its heart in the right place, it definitely had some rough patches that can’t be ignored. Let’s start with Nani — her acting was a bit underwhelming. Sydney Agudong lacked emotional range with no tears, no real movement (besides her surfing and singing skills), and a struggle to connect with the CGI characters which really hurts the immersion. The Guardian described “Nani in particular a more “correct”, entirely uninteresting ending .”If you’re a fan of the original Lilo and Stitch characters, this new Nani might not hit the mark. Adding to the woes, Zach Galifianakis — who plays one of the Lilo and Stitch characters (Jumba the new antagonist) — didn’t quite land the role. Critics felt it was a miscast that didn’t let him shine, which was a missed opportunity given his usual comedic chops. The Charlotte Observer referenced his interview conversation mentioning he actually wanted to play Pleakley but got requested to play Jumba, his response “Dean, I don’t care. Whatever you need me to do. What, I’m gonna get into, really, one of these characters more deeply? It doesn’t matter ”. Pleakley and Jumba - IMBD Budget Cuts The film cut a lot of their screen time, likely due to budget cuts from Disney underestimating the impact of this classic film from their audiences. The film was granted $100 million which is considered significantly low compared to Disney’s other live action remakes. For the film to be a success, it needs to achieve more than double for any future sequel Lilo and Stitch live action remakes… Then there’s Jumba and Pleakley, beloved Lilo and Stitch characters who got severely sidelined. The Guardian highlighted how their “funny walks” and attempts at humour just don’t come together, with actors seemingly performing into a void. It’s a big drop from the original cartoon. And budget cuts were obvious in the absence of Captain Gantu, one of the iconic Lilo and Stitch characters. His removal left the story feeling thinner and less dynamic. Cutting Captain Gantu was a baffling decision that robbed the film of some of its natural tension and humour. Some fans even called the producers of “ boycotting the upcoming remake ” The Daily Mail UK The Verdict: Lilo and Stitch Live Action So, where does the Lilo and Stitch live action film land overall? For all its flaws—like shaky casting choices, budget-driven cuts, and a few disappointing omissions—it still manages to hold onto that core emotional spark. The bond between Lilo and Stitch, the gorgeous Hawaiian backdrop, and the surprisingly solid CGI make it a film worth watching, even if it’s not quite the triumph fans were hoping for. There’s heart here, no doubt about it. It just feels like half the story got told, and the other half got caught in licensing red tape and budget spreadsheets. If you're a fan of the original Lilo and Stitch characters, you might find yourself torn. It’s charming, emotional, and visually impressive in parts—but still leaves you wishing Disney had trusted it with more. Rating: 3/5 Was the storyline better than the original? Did the Lilo and Stitch live action live up to its full potential—or did it fall short of the magic? Drop your thoughts below and let me know your own star rating!
- Another Simple Favor Review: Style Over Substance
Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick in Another Simple Favour (2025) - IMBD Some sequels raise the bar—others just ride the wave. Another Simple Favor falls into the second camp. Directed by Paul Feig, this 2025 mystery-comedy reunites Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick as it tries to recapture the original’s quirky charm and bold style. And while the fashion, fun settings, and snappy banter are all there, the story feels like it's just coasting along. Another Simple Favor is a stylish, globe-trotting adventure set against the stunning backdrop of Capri. With Blake Lively, Anna Kendrick, and Michele Morrone bringing plenty of charm, there’s no shortage of star power. But with a plot that feels like an afterthought, you start to wonder—does all that sparkle make up for what’s missing? Film SPOILER Overview In Another Simple Favour, it’s been five years since Stephanie (Anna Kendrick) got tangled up in the chaos that is Emily (Blake Lively). Stephanie is now a true crime vlogger. When Emily gets out of prison, she ropes Stephanie into being her maid of honour for a lavish wedding in Capri. Naturally, things go off the rails. A few murders later, it turns out Emily has a secret triplet sister - Charity (shocker)! Who’s been posing as her to take over a mafia-connected family empire. Charity ends up in cuffs, Emily vanishes (again), and Stephanie’s left caring for Emily’s kid. And just when you think it’s all over... the film hints there’s more madness still to come. ShowScorer Favs Casting & Performance Reuniting the iconic love-hate duo of Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick is easily the best thing about Another Simple Favour. Their chemistry is as sharp and entertaining as ever, and it’s what keeps the whole film on its feet. Blake’s unapologetically crude one-liners are bold and hilarious. Her mix of charm and sociopathic edge is oddly captivating. Opposite her, Anna Kendrick brings that bubbly, relatable energy we know and love. She grounds all the madness with just enough heart to keep it believable (well, almost). The sequel also ups the ante with a star-studded supporting cast, including Michele Morrone, Henry Golding, and Oscar-winner Allison Janney. Allison absolutely owns her role as a ruthless, unhinged wildcard, adding some real bite to the mystery. Altogether, it’s a stylish, tongue-in-cheek thriller that leans into its own absurdity—and somehow makes it work. Another Simple Favor Cast (2025) - IMBD Destination Cinema Choosing Capri as the setting for Another Simple Favour was a brilliant call. The stunning views, grand villas, and old-world charm of the Amalfi Coast gives the film a serious visual boost. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to book a holiday straight after the credits roll. Director Paul Feig made great use of real locations like the Grand Hotel Quisisana and Villa Jovis, which add a touch of luxury and history to the whole film. Critics have pointed out that Capri isn’t just a pretty backdrop—it’s almost a character itself. Empire Online called the film “frothy, sun-drenched fun,” saying the glamorous setting fits perfectly with the wild wedding drama. SpicyPulp described it as “an intoxicating mix of murder, martinis, and mayhem,” and honestly, that sums it up pretty well. The use of Italian language, architecture, and local customs adds another layer to the experience. It makes the world feel richer and more immersive. Personally, I found it pulled me in even more. The visuals alone are so strong, I could watch it again on mute and still enjoy the vibe. Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick in Capri - IMBD ShowScorer Flops Storyline The storyline in Another Simple Favour never really finds its footing. The film sets up an intriguing premise, then loses the plot—literally. The mystery is serviceable, but it lacks the twists that made the first film pop. It honestly feels like the plot was reverse-engineered just to justify the glamorous Capri setting, rather than letting the story lead. While Another Simple Favour has the charm of Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick and a stunning backdrop, the story plays it safe. The plot is recycling familiar family drama instead of offering something new. The film centres around Emily’s long-lost triplet sister, Charity, which feels like a stretch. This sequel had so much potential to evolve the story and characters, but instead, it falls back on the same tired family drama. Rather than rehashing what we’ve already seen, it could’ve pushed the plot in a bold new direction, building on the original in a more exciting way. Critics have picked up on this too. The Washington Post described the film as " so dreadful that it’s a mystery why actors of any credibility would have signed on " pointing to its weak plotting and lacklustre script. Likewise, RogerEbert.com noted that "the plotting and pacing have a habit of sagging when the film needs to build," making the mystery feel underdeveloped and slow to land. The choice to focus the entire plot on Emily’s family history, especially the triplet twist, feels like a copy and paste. It stretches credibility and takes away the chance to explore something new and exciting. As Bleeding Cool put it, the sequel "wants to be just as captivating as the first film, but it feels like the younger sister who is desperately trying to emulate the effortless grace of her older sister." Yes, the Capri setting is gorgeous. And yes, Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick still have fantastic chemistry. But in the end, it’s not enough to save a story that feels forced and unoriginal. By recycling plot points instead of taking the story forward, Another Simple Favour misses a real opportunity to expand the universe in a more meaningful way. Blake Lively, Anna Kendrick & 'Another Simple Favor' Cast Take a Friendship Test | Glamour The Verdict: Another Simple Favor If you loved A Simple Favor for its sharp wit, killer wardrobe, and genre-blending weirdness, you’ll likely enjoy Another Simple Favor—just don’t expect to be wowed by the mystery. This film is a vacation: easy, breezy, and a little shallow. Rating: 2.5/5 What did you think of Another Simple Favor? Did it live up to the style of the original or fall short in substance?

Directed once again by award-winning director Jon M. Chu and starring the spectacular returning cast, led by Academy Award® nominated superstars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the final chapter of the untold story of the witches of Oz begins with Elphaba and Glinda estranged and living with the consequences of their choices. Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum). Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard. As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Olivier award winner and Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Tony nominee Ethan Slater) and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives. As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good. Wicked: For Good also stars Emmy nominee Bowen Yang and Bronwyn James as Glinda’s fawning assistants, Pfannee and ShenShen and BAFTA and Grammy nominee Sharon D. Clarke (Caroline, or Change) as the voice of Elphaba’s childhood nanny, Dulcibear. The film is produced by returning Tony and Emmy winning powerhouse Marc Platt p.g.a. and by multiple Tony winner David Stone. The executive producers are Stephen Schwartz, David Nicksay, Jared LeBoff, Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox. The first film, Wicked, released in November 2024, earned 10 Academy Award® nominations, including Best Picture, and won the Oscars® for Costume Design and Production Design. To date, the film has grossed $750 million worldwide. Wicked: For Good is based on the generation-defining musical stage play with music and lyrics by legendary Grammy and Oscar® winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman, from the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire. The screenplay is by Winnie Holzman and Winnie Holzman & Dana Fox. The film score is by John Powell & Stephen Schwartz, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz.
