Default New movie on Netflix

I just watched The Peanut Butter Falcon this evening.
Very nice movie; I didn’t know what to expect, but was pleasantly
surprised at how much I liked it.

It’s not new, just new to Netflix. But it’s fantastic. Well worth a watch for anyone who hasn’t seen it…

Is it OK to watch if you have a peanut allergy ?

I watched and liked it too, about a year ago. I thought it was on Netflix but could have been on Amazon. Anyway, it's a film that, given the subject matter, could have been saccharine and corny but is neither. It is thoughtfully written, filmed, and acted. Definitely worth the 2 hour (or whatever) investment!

Actually it's only an hour and 37 minutes long.

Might have been Amazon (who coincidentally charges the most to rent it) or Netflix (part of the sub), or AppleTV, or YouTube (I think you can see where I'm going here....NOT a rare flick).

It’s a “feel good” movie. We could use more of these as long as they are well done. This one was.

I watched it last night and really enjoyed. In the absence of Shaia Lebouf, Dakota Johnson and Bruce Dern it could have been an indy movie....

Just watched it, and enjoyed it very much.

I'm not a fan of Lebouf, but he did a nice job in this one. And I didn't know that was Ms. Johnson until I read it here. Didn't recognize her with her clothes on, I guess!
