I rotate through my four favorites based on whatever’s currently on my mind. Actual top four can be found in my pinned favorites list. Films are only August 2024 - present, I didn’t add anything I’ve seen before then. ★★★★★ - Really resonated with me, all around a flawless movie in my eyes. Definitely my style of film, and loved every bit of it. ★★★★½ - Absolutely incredible, almost perfect but something was a little off that held it back. ★★★★ - Great, I liked it a lot, but could’ve been a little better in some way. ★★★½ - Good, leaned more toward my liking but had various flaws/wasn’t quite my tone. ★★★ - It was okay/decent, had many mixed feelings. ★★½ - Not the best watch, didn’t get anything out of it. ★★ - Consistently just not good. ★½ - No redeeming qualities. ★ - Awful and probably a little laughable. ½ - Just laughably bad.

I was definitely expecting more, but I’m not necessarily disappointed. Felt like it did everything right. It’s simple yet heartfelt, and doesn’t try too hard to be anything else.

Top 3 quotes: > *"*One morning, over at Elizabeth's beach house, she asked me if I'd rather go water skiing or lay out. And I realized that not only did I not want to answer that question, but I never wanted to answer another water sports question, or see any of these people again for the rest of my life." > *“God, this is great, sitting here in the laundry room... you working on your vocabulary, and we're sharing these tamales.” * > *“I'm also coaching a Little League soccer team called the Hurricanes. They're mostly beginners, but they've got a lot of spirit, and they don't let defeat get them down.“* I also want to highlight literally any interaction between Kumar and Dignan, absolutely hilarious in such a subtle way. Along with the fireworks montage, probably the best scene in the whole movie. By no means is this a five-star movie, at least not objectively. But it has consistent subjective qualities that hit every mark for me. I love it so much, it’s criminally underrated. Man, I miss Wes’ older style.
