I’m going to say something unusual: Yes, I think this is a good movie. No, you shouldn’t see it in theaters.

Let me explain.

It’s obviously a romantic-comedy with a dash of drama. If you’re watching this movie with a partner, there will be many scenes that you may want to pause and discuss the dynamics of the situation, as one does.

But, wait, there’s more. In the reality of the movie, there are many different Eternities with posters and people advertising for each. Most of this material is brief, and you have to be quick to notice it, and no matter what, you’re going to miss some of it. This is a movie that I would definitely pause and rewind 5 seconds to read a poster. For instance, on of the posters advertised a “Man-free eternity” and there was a banner over saying “Sold Out”. That is hilarious. And that was just one of a hundred different little easter eggs in this movie.

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!

Acting

I feel like everyone did a fine job, but there is a distance to the acting that is hard to describe. There is a difference between watching a movie and feeling like you’re in it. This is definitely like watching a performance. Even though I can vaguely relate to Miles Teller’s character Larry, I rarely ever felt connected to him. I don’t think this is so much on the acting as the writing and directing. There needed to be just a two or three scenes for each actor that would help us feel what that character was going through, and I didn’t feel it. However, it may just be me. I am also busy working during the movie to find Peetimes. Sometimes that prevents me from falling into the story. But really good movies, make me forget that I’m working. This one didn’t do that. That’s why it gets a B. It’s a solid movie, with plenty of good material and more than a few laughs. You’ll really enjoy this movie, when it’s streaming.

Grade: B

About The Peetimes:

There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Eternity.

Plot
In an afterlife where souls have one week to decide where to spend eternity, Joan is faced with the impossible choice between the man she spent her life with and her first love, who died young and has waited decades for her to arrive.

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂

Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
