    Our Review: Watched it on 11-12-2023 with HS, ASB, and CB in Burlington. It’s a Netflix film. “Forgotten Love” (Polish: Znachor, meaning “The Quack”) is a 2023 Polish film directed by Michał Gazda. It is an adaptation of the novel Znachor by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz. It has received very positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. It was a top film in 59 countries the first week it came out. A romantic drama, the film explores themes of love, loss, and the power of memories. If you’re a fan of foreign films, you’ll love this one! The story and acting are excellent. The main characters suffer incredible losses, yet a happy and emotionally moving ending comes to prevail. It’s an incredibly powerful film! Enjoyment rating: 4.5 stars.

    Clean Review: From a clean standpoint, there are a couple of scenes that portray couples starting to get intimate, but in truth, they are kept in their place so to speak. There is also great loss throughout the first 3/4 of the film, and some graphic scenes of medical procedures. On morality levels, this is a fairly average film. Adults, view it at your discretion and we hope these comments help you decide. Possibly not suitable for children or young teens. Clean Rating: 3.

    TMDB: A once-respected surgeon who’s lost his family and his memory gets a chance at redemption when he reconnects with someone from his forgotten past.

  • Two Weeks Notice

    Two Weeks Notice

    2002, 1h 41m


    Genre: Comedy, Romance
    TMDB Rating: 64%

    Our Comments: 10-10-2023 with HS, in Niagara. Rented it on Amazon. Very funny and enjoyable, with a believable story about a self-centered, womanizing, shallow multi-millionaire developer and an activist lawyer who winds up working for him through an interesting twist. There are memorably funny/witty lines in this movie. It’s a good date night movie to watch at home by mature viewers. Enjoyment rating: 3.5 star

    Clean Comments: Given that the leading man is a shallow womanizer, you can surmise that there will be sexual references throughout the movie. There is a strip-chess scene that has a couple winding up in their underwear, and references to casual sex. But these things are not central to the movie. It stands on its own outside of these themes. This movie is not for kids or impressionable teens. But it is still basically an “average” movie from a morality standpoint. Two Weeks Notice would be a discretionary choice for mature viewers. Clean Rating: 3 (3 = Average for a Mainstream Film (several moral* issues; watch at your discretion).

    TMDB: “Dedicated environmental lawyer Lucy Kelson goes to work for billionaire George Wade as part of a deal to preserve a community center. Indecisive and weak-willed George grows dependent on Lucy’s guidance on everything from legal matters to clothing. Exasperated, Lucy gives notice and picks Harvard graduate June Carter as her replacement. As Lucy’s time at the firm nears an end, she grows jealous of June and has second thoughts about leaving George.”

    TMDB Rating: 66%

    My Comments: 09-05-2023 (approx date) at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). Sweet and innocent classic musical, romance. Pleasant story line, some interesting complexity to it in that the story follows both the young man and his sister, who each fall into their own separate romances at the state fair.

    TMDB: “During their annual visit to the Iowa State Fair, the Frake family enjoy many adventures. Proud patriarch Abel has high hopes for his champion swine Blueboy; and his wife Melissa enters the mincemeat and pickles contest…with hilarious results.”

    My Comments: √ 07-21-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). Cute Hallmark romance. Feel good.

    TMDB: “Lindsey Wilson first found love in the romantic city of Paris when she was a university student studying art there. Now, twenty years later, she is returning to the City of Light to take her daughter on an adventure there. With a little inspiration from the city’s famed “love locks” on its scenic bridges, the adventure proves to be a journey of romance and rediscovery for the divorced Lindsey when she reconnects with her college flame in Paris and finds that her first love just might be the lasting love of her life after all.”

    My Comments: 07-14-2023 at SS’s place in Burlington with HS, SS. Watched on Netflix. Good and tender premise, but you have to endure a lot of crassness. We sure did enjoy being with SS for the evening, regardless!

    TMDB: “Henry is a player skilled at seducing women. But when this veterinarian meets Lucy, a girl with a quirky problem when it comes to total recall, he realizes it’s possible to fall in love all over again…and again, and again. That’s because the delightful Lucy has no short-term memory, so Henry must woo her day after day until he finally sweeps her off her feet.”

    Our Comments: √ 07-03-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). Enjoyable entertainment with stellar performances by Keaton, Nicholson, etc. 4 star.

    Clean Review: From a clean perspective, there are a few scenes that may be of concern. For example, the beginnings of an unmarried couple getting intimate, and very brief partially nude scene that’s actually very funny, and honestly shouldn’t put anyone’s knickers in a knot. On morality levels, this is a fairly average film. Adults, view it at your discretion. Not suitable for children or young impressionable teens. Clean rating: 3.

    TMDB: Harry Sanborn is an aged music industry exec with a fondness for younger women like Marin, his latest trophy girlfriend. Things get a little awkward when Harry suffers a heart attack at the home of Marin’s mother, Erica. Left in the care of Erica and his doctor, a love triangle starts to take shape.

    Our Comments: √ 06-30-2023. PS, HS in Niagara. Always a lovely movie with a nice story and beautiful scenery. But this last time, I have to say, I’m disappointed in the lax sexuality. Enjoyment rating: 3.5 star.

    TMDB: “After a rough divorce, Frances, a 35 year old book editor from San Francisco takes a tour of Tuscany at the urgings of her friends. On a whim she buys Bramasole, a run down villa in the Tuscan countryside and begins to piece her life together starting with the villa and finds that life sometimes has unexpected ways of giving her everything she wanted.”

    My Comments: √ Watched it many times, including on 03-19-2023 at our place in Niagara, and again on 05-04-2024, (PS, HS). One of our all time favorite classics (in our top 3 or 4); and perhaps in the TOP TWO of Fred and Ginger movies. A cute musical romance in that 1930’s style. A well-crafted classic that just feels right from one end to the other. The misunderstanding of who Fred’s character really is brings about a lot of entertainment. Fred and Ginger have amazing chemistry in this film and their dancing together is sublime. Enjoyment rating: 4.5 star.

    My Comments:

    √ Watched it 03-18-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). Excellent interaction between the film’s 3 main characters (Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, and Ronald Colman). It’s an excellent commentary on the interplay on law, morality, and common sense in society. There’s romance brewing, but you can’t tell right away who’s going to get the girl. A wonderful classic.
