This week, we feature an unexpectedly good animated sequel featuring lovable characters and a character-driven World War I film.
New Release
‘The Good Half’
Nick Jonas stars as Renn Wheeland, a writer who travels to his hometown for his mother’s funeral. On the plane, he meets Zoey Abbot (Alexandra Shipp), an insightful young woman who helps him address long-standing familial issues.Although this dramedy aims to portray the peculiarities of grief, it often struggles to convey believable characters. Even the flashbacks of Renn’s mother don’t elicit much emotion. Despite its good intentions, the film’s heartfelt moments are somewhat hampered by its contrived characters.
