Emy J This film was so much fun. I can really appreciate this movie as a married man. There were so many lessons and new phrases that I was introduced to. The phrase happy spouse happy house for instance. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Kristin H Great dialogue and a fun indie, loved the two main characters and their relationship, felt relatable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Kyle S Easter Replacements is a fascinating family drama, with great acting, and exceptional writing. A married couple going through some strong disagreements, learns that the two couples that they thought were coming to their home, have cancelled and sent two other couple instead. I thought the social tension and the mood were very effective. The story unfolded in ways I didn't expect, and it was very intriguing. In addition to the married couple who is in strong disagreement, we see the relationship dynamics between the other couples play out in very surprising ways as well. This movie is worth your time, watch it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/11/23 Full Review Anne-Laure M « Easter replacements » is a refreshing and lighthearted family movie to be watched. The story of a man who invites his boss to dinner ends up in a reception with three couples that at first seem to be at odds with each other, but who end up finding a common happy ending. What would you do if your boss asked you to host complete strangers in your home in exchange for the promotion you aspire to, even if it could put your own marriage in danger? Well, that's the situation Billy is confronted with throughout this film. The story story gets spicy as we understand each other's intentions and bones of contention within each couple, whose communication and mutual support will be the keys to getting through it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/09/23 Full Review Rick I A married couple is comically pressured into hosting an Easter for 4 strangers and what transpires is full of quirky people, modern references, mistaken identities, and conflicting motivations. There's lots of back and forth leaving you to wonder who, if anyone, will ultimately get their way. And that's the whole fun of it! I dug the multiracial cast, uplifting score, and just overall positive message this movie had to share with the world. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/23 Full Review CJ J "Happy wife, happy life" ... it's a false truth. It should also read, "happy hubby, keeps you bubbly"! Anyway, when this one opens, it's pretty clear that wifey Bobby ‘ain't happy. At ALL. Hubby is, (kinda) but that's because he makes conscious choices to be happy, in spite of his angry spouse. Then their dinner Easter plans change. unhappy wife becomes VERY unhappy wifey, making things even more challenging. Billy (Monte James) does a nice job playing a level-headed husband who is trying to balance home and work life, and it's not looking good. Anasio Obioha (Bobby) is a funky wife character. She's tough on her husband and is overall pretty not nice and ridiculously entitled, wanting a life where SHE gets served, not the other way around. What's even more interesting is that she works as a marriage counselor, which is even weirder, because her own behavior would make any sane adult male divorce her in two seconds flat. Then TWO replacement couples drop in on the dysfunction for a lovely easter dinner. It's goes about as well as you expect to, and then....well you'll just have to catch the rest for yourself. This indie got a few solid laughs out of me, and it had me yelling at Bobby to be more decent to her obviously too-good for her husband. Anytime you get that engaged, that's a good thing!
