The Kissing Booth (2018)

User 1 Review:

It's an outstanding movie which deals with a very sensitive topic. To make a commercially viable movie on such a sensitive topic, it took a bold risk from King Kumar ( I think he's the best mainstream actor we have in India after Amitabh Bachhan) and the director R. Balki. The movie has a brisk pace and doesn't deviate from the crux and in fact goes on to add more dimensions in its second half. All in all it's a brilliant movie and the landscape shown in the movie deserves special applause. While I knew Madhya Pradesh is that picturesque I am glad it was showcased even more beautifully.

All of them performed a great acting. I kinda got bored in some scenes and some characters (like sister-in-law) had nothing to do in this film, but it was ok. Probably some people will say that Salman Khan danced like an idiot, but at least he acted as good as he could (he didn't look like "the bad boy of bollywood" as he is catalogued nowadays). In fact, I was so surprised of seeing Shahrukh's acting, he has great nuances and gets very into the character of "macho husband". Aishwarya's blind girl character was a plus because she helped Madhuri's and SRK's characters (wife + husband) to be together after their misunderstandings and his jealousy.

Dirty Dancing meets Bend It Like Beckham with snowboards, starring beautiful English rose Felicity Jones as a poor London girl who takes a job as hired help at a ski chalet, where in-between being in the service of a bunch of posh twats she practices snowboarding for an upcoming contest.Though the script is turgid, predictable and quite irresponsible, the film succeeds where it needs to, where Felicity Jones rises above all the dross with a shining leading performance which put her on the showbiz map. It's just a shame that the script called for her character to spending way too much time chasing a tedious pretty boy who doesn't deserve her.

Feel good film based in the picturesque Austrian ski resort of St Anton about a... chalet girl.Not an ordinary chalet girl though. In approximately eight weeks we see the chalet girl in question, a character named Kim Matthews transform from a working class CHAV Cockney being at the beck and call of some snooty banking family to a snowboarding champion getting the bloke in the process. Very Rocky Balboa in unrealism!The scenery is at times breathtaking and could have been taken straight from the opening sequence of James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me.Comic Bill Bailey plays a character interestingly called Bill (Kims dad). I had to sympathise with his cooking skills!The film has several sentimental moments as Kim suffers flashbacks of her late mothers death in a horrific car accident. Brooke Shields plays an unsympathetic posh mother who used to be a Concorde air hostess. Bill Nighy is her husband.The only other person I recognised was Neils dad of The Inbetweeners TV series and films.
