"No Hard Feelings" is the most delightful family sex comedy since "Milk Money," in which Melanie Griffith plays a prostitute that a couple of young boys hire to see what a naked woman looks like, and she winds up romantically involved with their father. (Sorry if this is a spoiler!)
“After Love” sounds swell; will look for it. Plot put me in mind of the great Alec Guinness’s “The Captain’s Paradise,” where the captain has wives (also of very different appearance and temperament) in England and Gibraltar. A double feature?
I watched The Palm Beach Story not long back when it was on Criterion, and I absolutely loved it. The start-to-finish manic insanity of the film is near-incomparable. The first scene is like a mini-movie all by itself and I love that the movie never even tries to explain what the hell was going on there.
Not that anyone asked…but I finally watched “Nobody.” What a great picture. Odenkirk is wonderful, as is Christopher Lloyd and Connie Nielsen. It’s like the first John Wick movie, but tighter. Odenkirk should act more.

I'm thrilled to learn about "After Love," which sounds right up my proverbial alley.

Hey! The Palm Beach Story is definitely top-drawer Sturges (just sayin').
Even bottom drawer Sturges is better than 99% of Hollywood’s contemporary product.
That bar is not raised particularly high, unfortunately.
