Re: Cha Cha Real Smooth
This is this year's CODA in terms of Sundance titles. I thought it was beautiful, hilarious and incredibly sweet - it felt like The Wedding Singer meets Garden State. Cooper Raiff and Dakota Johnson have sensational chemistry and this actually may be Johnson's best performance. It hit a lot of chords for me in the way it tackled themes of growing up and coming of age as well as the importance of family - the end made me cry. A massive crowdpleaser. A-

Re: Cha Cha Real Smooth
I loved this. It's laugh-out-loud funny and very moving. This is the first movie I've seen from Cooper Raiff and I'm instantly a fan. He's very charming here. Dakota Johnson is also great. The ending went exactly where I was hoping it would go.
This is a big crowd-pleaser. The kind of movie that once upon a time would have been a sleeper hit at the box office. This is Cooper Raiff's Garden State. I'm a bit disappointed it went to a streamer so it won't have the chance to become a small box office hit. But hopefully many will see it on Apple TV+. It is going to some theaters. I'm hoping for one of them to be mine because I'd absolutely go see this again.
