Hey, have you heard anything about the new romantic comedy that's playing at the movie theater? I heard that it's funny.
I heard that it's funny, too! I also read that it's uplifting
Really? That's interesting. I can imagine that it's funny, but is it more uplifting than the documentary that is also playing? I read that the documentary follows a female business leader.
I like the sound of that documentary a lot! How inspiring.
Sounds like a tough choice between those 2 films. Have you heard of anything else interesting coming out lately?
Yes, actually! There's another movie that I'm interested in - a black comedy about a man recently released from prison.
Hmm, I am not sure about that black comedy. I'm sure it's funny but it does sound like it could be depressing, too.
I think the comedy's morbid sense of humor helps to mitigate any of the protagonist's otherwise almost objectively-depressing circumstances.
How can we decide between these 3 movies? What do you think the reviews recommend?
From what I have read, the reviews tend to recommend all 3 of these about equally - it's really just up to what you are in the mood for. You said you liked the sound of something inspiring or uplifting, right?
Yes, I would prefer to see something inspiring and uplifting, and I would like it if the content was funny as well.
It seems like it's really just down to the romantic comedy and documentary, then. Those are both funny and uplifting. The rom-com would be more uplifting and the documentary would be more inspiring.
Are there any other clues that reviews give you as to what we might feel like after we see each film? I really don't want to be in a down mood after I go see a film on my day off.
Yes, one of the reviews said that the rom-com would also leave you feeling hopeful about the future.
That sounds nice, what about the documentary?
Reviewers say the documentary leaves you feeling inspired and might even give you a surge of motivation and creativity after seeing how this woman managed to succeed despite all odds!
This is going to be a tough choice between those 2 films. Both the romantic comedy and the documentary sound like something I would enjoy a lot. So basically it comes down to whether I want to see something inspiring or motivating?
Yes. I can also tell you I remember seeing that the documentary was rated 1 star higher than the romantic comedy.
How many reviewers rated the documentary higher, and why?
Several reviewers rated the documentary about 1 star higher. Most reasons given for the higher review were about how positive the film left them feeling after watching it.
I think the documentary sounds like the right fit over the romantic comedy - I could really use an uplifting film to give me a motivational boost and that sounds like the one to do it.
I agree! I am excited about the documentary. It sounds fascinating and really interesting!
