AfrAId was slightly disappointing. The story was solid and it posed a bunch of really good questions regarding artificial intelligence.
The part that has me in turmoil over the grade was the role of Meredith. (Katherine Waterston) I would love some feedback on what you Runpeeps think. She felt out of place to me. She had no chemistry with any of the other actors and seemed distracted.

It’s a super short movie so the pace is great, they didn’t stick in any filler stuff, it was straight storytelling.
I took my granddaughter and asked her what grade she’d give it, she said an A. It scared her and made her question the usage of AI. She doesn’t care about acting and style, she’s all about the story. So they nailed it for her. (She’s 11) I was more so thinking a C. If it weren’t for the distraction of Meredith I’d say a B.
All in all, I think anyone under 17 will love it and anyone over 17 will be slightly more critical. Again, it does pose great questions and makes you think.
Grade: C+
About The Peetimes: After seeing this movie it became clear the Peetime I submitted was the only safe time to go. The actual movie is only 76 minutes long, luckily my Peetime is about half way through it.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of AfrAId.

Movie Watching Must Have!!
I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!
