I have to say I made the mistake of not asking for a recommendation
for the genre of comedy. I had absolutely no idea what film to what. So what
did I do you ask, I went to movies on demand of course finding a random movie
under “comedy.” The movie I happened upon was called Love the Coopers. I had
seen commercials for this around Christmas time and I have to say it did look
like something that would amuse me. I expected this movie to be about some
crazy family and what their “struggle” would be around Christmas time. I was
right, but there was more than just funny scenes to this movie. I am not sure
what genre I would put this movie under because it would not be total comedy.
Of course there are very funny parts in the movie such as an old aunt with dementia
who never fails to make the audience laugh. But then there is also the over
confident but insecure sister who just happens to fall in love with an equally
but oppositely funny man. And of course the rest of the family comes with their
own issues that correlate to the corruption of Christmas dinner. The comedy
comes in times of two teenagers hopelessly “in love” unable to kiss correctly and
the little girl who tells everyone they’re a (not so nice word). These parts of
the movie allow me to see why it is under the genre of comedy. However, seriousness
comes along as well especially when the corruption of the family is at its peak
and the family finds their way to fixing what is so broken. My mom watched this
movie with me and while we were talking about how a lot of scenes were sad or
sentimental I described the movie as a “comedy with feels.” Love the Coopers
gives the audience a couple of tears (if your overly emotional) along with a
good laugh. Throughout the movie there were parts that confused me to where I was
not sure if I was going to like it or now. But I have to be honest I did thoroughly
enjoy this movie. Rating: 7/10
