What's this about?

Lately, it seems like many of the movies/shows are just a rehash or reboot of things that have already been done. And so I started to dive into the past. It's been fun, but I find myself losing track of which ones I’ve seen and whether or not I enjoyed them. Sometimes the titles themselves just don't tell me enough to remember.

I wouldn’t have voluntarily watched a lot of these movies when I was younger. It’s strange how interests change. That goes for what I read, too. I have another blog that explores books. I’m mostly reading older fiction and memoirs, and some of the books have led me to movies/shows and vice versa. In those cases, I may post the book review over here as well.

There will be spoilers, which is different than my book reviews. That’s mostly because I want to have enough information to help me remember what I’ve seen. I’m getting older. The brain doesn’t cooperate like it used to. What can I say? The gray hairs are catching up with me!

Three Wise Men and a Baby (2022) & Three Wiser Men and a Boy (2024)

I'm going to lump these into the same review since we watched them fairly close together. We played bingo with them, but we didn't have a lot of hope when we knew what they were about. That particular theory was correct.

In the first movie, you have three brothers who have to team up to take care of a baby. The poor little mite was left of at the firehouse with one of the brother's names on it, and they just decide to take care of it since the mother says she'll be back for him. The men learn about each other and become closer as a family.

In the second movie, it's five years later. The firefighter has married the mother and is now father to the boy. The other two are all-in on the uncle job and still working on their lives. All three of them are dealing with real life issues, and now they also have to deal with Mom's new boyfriend.

Both these movies were more tolerable than the others we've watched recently. I honestly enjoyed the first one, and we all had a few laughs with it. The second one wasn't bad, but I didn't like it as much as the first one. The overly perfect pastor-man was a bit much to deal with - for the brothers and me. Neither movie gave us a bingo, but we didn't care. Actual good movies for sure!
