Audience Member I like little indies like this 3.4 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/11/21 Full Review Audience Member A unique RomDramCom. The writing is good, and Peyton Michelle Edwards stands out in a strong leading role. The ending is a bit abrupt, but overall it’s well done and worth the watch. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/21 Full Review Audience Member It has an abrupt ending which I am not crazy about. It's an odd movie but interesting. I would hope that it does not portray a majority of youth today because they all should have put an end to the situation from early on. It also includes the typical casual sex with questionable characters theme. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed this movie. Full disclosure: I usually get bored watching romantic movies (which I typically get dragged to). I assure you this was not the case for this movie. This was mainly due to the fact that the "Weekenders" possesses a very clever script/storyline, it is really well-cast, the music is excellent, the cinematography is beautiful, but most importantly (for me) the pacing of the movie is superb. At no point, did I find myself checking the time nor yawning during this movie. On the contrary, I was captivated during the entire movie and found myself smiling at its tender and witty moments. The chemistry between the four main characters was so organic. There was nothing forced about it. James and Harper were such likable characters that I was routing for them throughout the movie. I highly recommend you check out this movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member IN A NUTSHELL: Emmy Award-winner Erik Bloomquist is the writer, director, and star of this rom-com. Twenty-somethings will think this movie is full of cool people they'd want to hang out with. It made me, however, grateful that I'm not single anymore. The story features four singles who end up sharing an Airbnb house due to a scheduling mix-up. They bring baggage, both real and emotional, as well as look at what kind of real connections they value. Have you ever felt an instant connection with someone? Me too. You feel that in this movie. This film is not to be confused with the 2019 movie THE WEEKENDERS or Weekender. THINGS I LIKED: The small cast includes Peyton Michelle Edwards, Erik Bloomquist, Ehad Berisha, Maggie McMeans, Rudd Anderson, and Jeffrey Fryer. I don't think I had ever seen any of them in anything before. The characters play an interesting game called, "Paranoia" that really does get everyone paranoid. Airbnb gets a big shout-out in the movie. I used to be a "SuperHost" when I rented out one of our houses. It's a great company that allows people to earn extra income, as well as find inexpensive accommodations when a hotel won't work. Watching the characters interact with one another is a study in body language. The banter and dialogue seemed very real. You feel the pain of what it's like to be with the wrong person. I like the sweet relationship Harper has with her dad. THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: Lots of awkward conversations and moments. Things I hate: one-night stands and players... The two girls kind of look alike. It would have been easier to distinguish between them if one of them had different-colored hair. I know, that's super picky... TIPS FOR PARENTS: Some profanity and crude language Lots of alcohol Kids will be bored Talk of sex and then you see 2 unmarried couples go at it THEMES: Love, romance, true love Connection Honesty You can see my full review on my Movie Review Mom YouTube channel!
