GIFTED
Directed by Marc Webb
Screenplay by Tom Flynn
Starring Chris Evans; McKenna Grace; Lyndsay Duncan; Jenny Slate; and Octavia Spencer
Well....you see the story...so I do not have to explain.
This film was a disappointment. The trailer sucked me in.
The relationship between Frank (Evans) and Bonnie (Slate), which was a very small part of this film was more interesting than the plot. Or maybe I should say less annoying. Bonnie is the only one here who is not annoying.
Frank: Just makes stupid decisions after stupid decisions. And he is an educator.
Mary: played by Mckenna Grace is sooooooooo annoying. I think the screenwriter thought she was cute and sassy. No!! Not so much. This is not a reflection on the actress Grace, she is wonderful but the script let her down.
Evelyn: Who plays Mary's Grand-mom. Who is unfocused and is just mean.
Then there is Roberta played by Octavia Spencer who is just plain wasted.Its Octavia Spencer!!!!
Then they wrap this up with a story around a one eyed cat. It felt rushed and stunningly anti climatic.
Is there any good?
Evans and every one else are very good here. It is just a bad script.
A disappointing 2 out of 5 stars for Gifted....wait until home viewing..
From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
