Consider “Knives Out” as well.

Saw it with the family (we are all adults) last weekend. It is a “Who Dun It” comedy with a lot of A-list stars. Very little “bad language” as I recall.

The only “political” angle that could possibly be pointed to is that the nurse at the center of the action is a Latina (US citizen) whose mother is an illegal immigrant from South America. However, there is a running gag in the movie about it and it is also a material fact for some of the character’s motivations.

Fun and a nice break from my standard SciFi/War movie watching. (Not that I am feeling anything but dread about the upcoming Star Wars movie later this month. Well, at least once it drops we will be done with that nonsense for awhile.)

The Han Solo box office bomb pretty much killed Disney’s plans to milk the Star Wars franchise to its fullest by churning out multiple Star Wars related movies year after year (i.e., re-branding every science fiction B movie that they produce as a Star Wars universe movie).

Now I think they are just hoping to make enough off of the next movie to come close to breaking even on what Disney overpaid for the franchise, without completely destroying any remaining value that the franchise still has.
