Seems like between our family members we subscribe to (and share) all pay networks except those that carry Yellowstone.
Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO Max, YouTube Premium, Amazon Prime, and I can't remember what-all else.

I thought it was feel-good romp and give it 7 on a scale of 1-10. Not one of the greats, but certainly worthy of the two hours I spent watching it. Likeable actors and inventive story - not the typical rom-com pabulum.

I thought the ending was rather abrupt lol.
I wasn't quite ready for it to end..I wanted more.
I felt the same way.

Where Crawdads Sing on Netflix. It was quite good and ended well, but some of it was rough.

Me, too. But then I thought about it and the what-happens-next was pretty obvious.

Did you read the book? I did and am wondering how well they managed the adaptation. Some book to film adaptations are pretty good despite leaving out quite a bit (Hunger Games series comes to mind), and some are so terrible that word gets out to readers to avoid the movie at all costs (The Goldfinch was a recent example.)

I read the book and thought it was great. Movie not so much. Got bored and went to bed before it was over.

Thanks for the review. That's pretty close to what I figured. People I know who read it were very skeptical that the tone and details could translate well to a movie.

I did not read the book, but after watching the movie, I looked at the reviews on Amazon. There were a couple of complaints about how closely the movie adhered to the book.
I don't remember ever seeing a book get as many positive reviews on Amazon as this particular book. It blew me away.

I did read the book ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’. I was not impressed with the movie adaptation.

Watched ‘Wednesday’ on Netflix. Like several others mentioned I liked it, surprisingly. It’s very witty ; cynical at times.

A super cheesy 1969 movie called "Pit Stop". What a hoot.

'All Quiet on the Western Front' (1970 /w Richard Thomas).
With free streaming & sub-titles I'm becoming quite a linquist.

Translated on Prime. A man in ancient Rome is transported to modern 21st Century Oregon claiming to be the Apostle Paul.
Where The Crawdads Sing on Netflix. I didn't watch it for quite awhile after a bad review I read on here. Then I read a good review and tonight decided to watch it. This movie is EXCELLENT! I loved the setting and the times and the theme and the characters and everything about it. Watch it if you can on Netflix.
I watched Lady Chatterley's Lover on Netflix. I thought it was excellent, interesting story and characters. Emma Corrin and Jack O'Connell were wonderful. The movie ended too soon, left me wanting more.
I read the book many, many years ago, and just bought it to read again.

Thanks for the recommendation, @katlupe I enjoyed this; nicely done. Also thought-provoking in a good way.

Last night I watched "A Song For Jenny" using my ROKU and thanks to our public library. It was a very, very sad movie about the Edgewater Bombing in London on July 7, 2005. On that day 52 people were killed. Four men, all Moslems, blew a subway car apart. The movie dealt with the mother finding out that her 24 year old daughter, Jenny, was killed in that explosion.
I am not much on comedies and I do like serious films. This was a British film and was exceptional well done. The acting was super. Highly recommended but be aware that's it's a really sad especially when the mother comes to the coffin of her dead daughter or the pieces that were left of her. The film is based on real events.

Last night, watched the 1988 comedy Twins with Arnold Schwarzenegger on Amazon Prime Video. The contrast with his tall, good looks and Danny DeVito's short body was hilarious. The ending was good. It was a feel good movie, although it could have had less violence.
