Short AF Movie Review | Bad Moms


Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Bad Moms". As usual, this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free. (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie.)


"When three overworked and under - appreciated moms are pushed beyond their limits, they ditch their conventional responsibilities for a jolt of long overdue freedom, fun and comedic self - indulgence."

So the main reason I wanted to watch this movie is because there are so many actors in this movie that I love (especially Mila Kunis), and it looked like such a funny comedy to get into. Let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed. I loved that the main theme of the story was that they shouldn't put each other down and should join in their womanhood in being "bad moms". Personally, I cannot touch on the mother experience as I don't have kids, and I also don't want kids. This movie was amazing though, it was really feel good and super funny! I love the character development in this movie especially with Amy and Kiki. I love that they were all strong, independent women OR became strong independent women. I'd give this movie a 9 out of 10, and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a good comedy movie.

Have you watched this movie yet? If you did, what did you think of it? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Have a wonderful day,

Short AF Movie Review | Everything, Everything


Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Everything, Everything". As usual, this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie)


"A teenager who's spent her whole life confined to her home falls for the boy next door."

So when the movie came out for this I was so excited to watch it. However, it took me forever to watch it because I wanted to read the book before watching the movie. So I finally got down to reading the book (which I'll probably do a short AF review on one day but today just isn't that day), I loved it so I decided I wanted to watch the movie. I loved it, honestly there wasn't a lot of things missing from the movie that there was from the book (I mean, there were a couple but nothing that would drive me crazy watching the movie). The story between these two progresses so naturally and I could eat up every moment of it. The visuals were stunning in this movie and they brought everything I could see in my own mind whilst reading the book to life. If you're a sucker for romance movies with a twist then you'll love this movie. I give it a 10 out of 10 for sure, and would recommend this to everyone (Unless you don't like romance movies obviously).

Short AF Movie Review | The Boy Downstairs




Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "The Boy Downstirs". As usual, this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free.

"A young woman is forced to reflect on her first relationship when she inadvertently moves into her ex - boyfriend's apartment building."

Okay so I promised you I wasn't going to be doing another musical this week and I stuck to this promise. However, I believe this will be the first ever non - positive movie review I've done on this blog. When the trailer for this movie came out, I was really excited for it. I love rom coms especially ones like this. I just didn't like this one. There was a lot of reasons for me to not like this movie. For example: The way it jumps around is so confusing and hard to keep up with and I just found myself getting disinterested (It can be done well, if you want a good movie that does that well watch "The Last Five Years"). Also I hated the ending, so much. It's the type of ending they want you to love but it just didn't work. The character's were really whiny and there was little to no character development. (I'm sorry to the people who may have enjoyed this but this one just wasn't for me)

Have you watched this movie yet? If you did, what did you think of it? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Short AF Movie Review | Beauty And The Beast (2017)



Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Beauty And The Beast". As usual, this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free. (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie)


So once again, this is another musical film (I'm sorry guys I promise my next one is not going to be a musical film but I just love them), and not only is it a musical film, it's a remake of a classic that I grew up with. So to jump straight into this movie I was really worried that it wasn't going to be similar to the original Disney movie. I was also a little bit speculative of Emma playing the role of Belle (Emma is an amazing actress by the way, it's just the fact that it was a singing part and I've never heard her sing. She was perfect for the role in every other way however). Belle was always a princess I could relate to, always had her head stuck in a book and loved stories. So it held a very special place in my heart growing up. This movie was a brilliant remake. I loved seeing the characters I know and love brought to life. My favourite character in this movie would definitely have to be Maurice. He was a lot different than he was from the original movie but also had a lot of the traits we love about him in the original too. I was amazed at some of the songs they added in to the movie and how they performed the old ones as well. Please if you want to watch this movie don't shrug it off just because you're worried it's not going to be the same, because to be honest it isn't, but it's not the same in a good way. It's marvellous.

Have you watched this movie yet? If you did, what did you think of it? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Short AF Movie Review | The Greatest Showman



Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "The Greatest Showman". As usual, this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free. (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie)


"Celebrate the birth of show business, and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation."

So if you know me, you'll know my guilty pleasure is musical movies. I adore nothing more than a good musical. I also adore Hugh Jackman, so put them together and you've certainly got the perfect movie. I loved this movie, I loved the magic around the movie and around P.T. Barnum's mind. I loved the love in this movie, I loved the sadness. It was a full on roller coaster of emotions in this movie. One of the big points in this movie was around racism, and how people of colour was treated back then (and are continuously treated now). I'm not gonna touch too much on that because it's not my place, but it was portrayed really well. (Also Zendaya was amazing in this movie, however it took me a good couple of minutes to realize it was her. Pink hair suits her so much). The songs in this are wonderful and so catchy. My favourite song in the movie is definitely "A Million Dreams" (Before you all come at me, yes "This Is Me" is amazing. But "A Million Dreams" has more of that musical sound that I adore plus the visuals whilst they were singing it was stunning, also even if you don't watch the movie, please give these two songs and "Rewrite the stars" a listen, you won't be dissapointed). If you love musicals I would definitely recommend this one. There's a huge reason it's getting so much praise. Trust me when I say it's worth it.

Have you watched this movie yet? If you did, what did you think of it? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Short AF Movie Review | To All The Boys I've Loved Before


Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "To All The Boys I've Loved Before".

(However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie)


"A teenage girl's secret love letters are exposed and wreak havoc on her love life."

So as I said last week when I did a Short AF review on "Sierra Burgess Is A Loser" netflix have been bringing out some fab films lately, and this is one of them! To all the boys I've loved before is a cute rom com based of the book of the same name by Jenny Han. (A book that I've now got on my wishlist to get on payday so I can read it after watching this movie). I loved this movie so much, it was cute, it was funny, it had real, raw emotion. Once again, it reminded me of all the 90's rom coms I used to watch growing up however mixing in today's school life and technology making it more interesting to watch. I definitely recommend this to everyone and anyone you should definitely give it a chance! It definitely has made me want to read the book now though!

Once again, get yourself on netflix and watch this movie, it's pretty awesome and hopefully you'll love it as much as I did.

Have you watched this movie yet? If you did, what did you think of it? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Short AF Movie Review | Sierra Burgess Is A Loser


Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Sierra Burgess Is A Loser".

(However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie)


"A case of mistaken identity results in unexpected romance when the most popular girl in high school and the biggest loser must come together to win over their crushes."

So I've been hyped up for this movie since the advert came out because one netflix have been bringing out some fab movies lately and two something about it reminded me of late 80's early 90's teen movies. On that side, it did not disappoint. It was quirky, it was funny there were so many parts in this movie that was just relatable. However.. (This bit is slightly spoilery, but not at the same time) Sierra Burgess was a body positive young girl who told herself she was wonderful in the mirror at the beginning of this movie. At the end of this movie she was insecure because of a boy. This was a huge disappointment. There's not enough movies out there which shows body positive girls and then they show one and take it away the moment a boy is involved. I know this makes me sound like a stuck up feminist, but it just was sad to see. This movie could have been a real feel good movie if it was not for that. There were some characters I adored the development of, especially veronica, and I just wish there were more of that in the movie. I would recommend this if you like movies like this, because it is an enjoyable movie. That was my only fault with it and it's not enough of one to tell people not to watch it, and also not enough to not watch it again. If you get a chance too and you like movies like this it's currently on netfix right now!

Have you watched this movie yet? If you did, what did you think of it? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!
