Patti Cakes ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
I couldn’t sleep so I flicked through the “new on board” category. I wasn’t bored enough to watch “Murder on the Orient Express” and I thought I recognised the name of this film from a good review I’d seen or heard so I thought I’d give it a try. But when I selected it, it didn’t look promising as it seemed to be something about rappers. But I figured I’d give it a try for a few minutes…
Wow. A movie that shouldn’t have liked but I enjoyed it immensely. I was caught up in it from the very first scene and genuinely wanted to know what was going to happen.
There’s a slight corniness to the story but all of the characters are interesting the story moves along at a clip. Even though I wouldn’t call myself a rap fan, there’s an intensity to the music in the film that is universal.
The woman who plays the lead character is absolutely excellent.
Rating System
In case you’d forgotten, I use a five sun rating system. It works like this:
-
Movie gets one sun for interesting story with good acting.
-
Movie gets one sun for not having an English villain.
-
Movie gets one sun for not being too dark or having lots of special effects, so you can enjoy it properly on an airplane screen.
-
Movie gets one sun if I watched all the way to the end without falling asleep or turning over because I was bored.
-
Movie gets one sun if it doesn’t have Kate Winslet in it.
So any movie I watch on a place gets at least one sun, and if they pull out all the stops they can get five.
