WE’VE BEEN SIFTING through the TV movie options available this week.
Happy Gilmore
Adam Sandler plays an unsuccessful ice hockey player who discovers he’s incredibly good at golf.
Room
Based on the book by Emma Donoghue, Room tells the story of 5-year-old Jack and his mother – played by Brie Larson – who has been kept captive in a 10 foot by 10 foot room for seven years. It starts off very grim, but stick with it.
27 Dresses
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, Jane (Katherine Heigl) finds herself being asked to put on her 28th bridesmaid dress as her sister announces she’s marrying a man Jane is secretly in love with. What could go wrong?
The Butcher Boy
This dark Irish comedy centres on 12-year-old Francie Brady, a boy who retreats into a violent fantasy world to escape from his family’s dysfunctionality. As he loses his grip on reality the boy begins to lash out.
The Adventures of Tintin
A Spielberg animated adventure based on Herge’s comic series. Tintin the intrepid reporter heads off on a treasure hint for a sunken ship.
Johnny English Strikes Again
The original movie wasn’t a massive barrel of laughs (and we love Rowan Atkinson!) so you won’t be surprised to hear the 2018 sequel, which was recently added to Netflix, is also unlikely to deliver the kinds of laughs you need to forget for a moment you’re living through a global pandemic.
