It has been quite a while since I've watched a brand new movie. Part of it was "life," but also part has been nothing has really grabbed my interest enough to want to see it. I have a few movies I've purchased, but even now, they sit on the coffee table waiting...waiting. They even still have the plastic wrappers still on. Maybe I'll get them watched over the holiday break...or maybe not. We'll see. In the meantime, tonight I decided to watch Lady Ballers. This was a good see.
This kept my interest for the whole movie. More than that, I can see actually watching this movie a second time. The story arc was good. I liked the ending. It made sense how they got into the predicaments and how they got out of things in the end. It had the right mix of humor and serious moments while maintaining the overall comedy genre. I only wish I weren't still prone to coughing/hacking (recent illness) in order to full-out laugh. All the more reason to re-watch it again later.
Some of the fun of this movie was to watch things get crazier and crazier. I especially enjoyed the progression of change from the two WIAW newscasters. Some of the other fun with this movie was spotting where the different personalities from the Daily Wire--and Jeremy's products--would make their appearance. Some subtle appearances. Some not so subtle. And some was hearing particular lines coming out of particular personalities' mouths (Ben Shapiro, Brett Cooper, Matt Walsh, etc.).
I also quite liked the choice of ballet-music as the music of choice for some of the sports montages, heightened by the slo-mo and staging choices.
This was a comedy that I could enjoy, and I do recommend that others see it. It is well worth the watch.
