Wild Oats

I loved the first half of this charming comedy. Lange and MacLaine are both splendid in it, and sexy as hell to boot. The second half, though, turned into more of a crime caper which I felt derailed the charm of the first half a bit too much. Still, a really fun movie with some great comedy moments. 4/5

The Joneses

This is an entertaining premise that's well-acted & executed. I just wish they had gone deeper & been braver. 3/5
