Sometimes, perhaps now more than ever, we need to relax and watch something that doesn’t make too much sense but is enjoyable all the same.
That’s why our final recommendation of the week is the romantic comedy Some Kind of Beautiful. It features some top talent who brilliantly goes to waste in a movie that only scored 6% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The movie is about a poetry professor who reevaluates his love life after impregnating someone then falling in love with her sister.
