The Father - Review
Spoiler-free until 11:00 In these troubling times, it is always nice to watch a depressing movie. The Father is a movie about a guy with dementia, from the point of view of the guy with dementia. That is a loaded concept, one with a lot of potential, but potential is a two way street. The…

Chaos Walking - Review
SPOILER-FREE UNTIL 18:45 Hello, is your Chaos Walking? Well you better go catch it! This was the mentality of the filmmakers behind Chaos Walking, who somehow created a movie so unbelievably bad that not even Lionsgate would release it. Of course, it's been a long time since 2017 (the original...

Tom and Jerry - Review (Feat. Molethu's Studios)
SPOILER FREE UNTIL 20:08 Tom and Jerry are back on the big screen for the first time since 1992, and now, they're in CG! There's a lot in that sentence that may strike fear into the hearts of Tom and Jerry fans. Firstly, the 1992 movie was... iffy... to say the least, and cartoons getting the CG...

Judas and the Black Messiah - Review
SPOILER FREE UNTIL 21:02 Black history months calls for black history films, and that is exactly what Judas and the Black Messiah sets out to be! A biopic about the leader of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, Judas has been an award show sweetheart and is being called the best…

The Little Things - Review
SPOILER-FREE UNTIL 17:24 The Little Things (sadly not based on the hit Good Charlotte single of the same name) is a crime drama that tries to set itself apart by having a lot of people you've heard of. What could possibly go wrong? The plot is simple, the good guys try to catch the bad guy…

Wonder Woman 1984 - Review
SPOILER FREE UNTIL 21:32 Warner Brothers decided to skip Wonder Woman 2-1983 and go right to Wonder Woman 1984. That doesn't scare The Movie Hoppers though, no sir. WW84 is a case of a movie that started out with critical praise across the board only for the rating to drop like a rock the moment...
-
Soul - Review (Feat. Molethu's Studios and Emme)
SPOILERS START AT 44:55 Soul is finally out and getting rave reviews across the board but you know, it's Pixar, if they released The Queen's Corgi they would have gotten rave reviews. Luckily, there's The Movie Hoppers. So little people actually watch this show that Disney hasn't even offered us...

-
The Croods: A New Age - Review
SPOILER-FREE KINDA (READ DESC.) Remember The Croods? No? Maybe? That's okay, the first movie came out back in 2013. Honestly, if you do remember The Croods, you've probably aged out of the target demographic, which makes this movie very interesting. I'm getting ahead of myself, The Croods: A New...
-
Vangaurd - Review
SPOILER-FREE KINDA (READ DESC.) Jackie Chan is still making movies for whatever reason, and someone has to watch them, so I guess that has to be us. Vanguard is a Chinese film about a private security agency that does private security agency things like securing people privately. There's a lot of...

The Climb - Review
ALL MOVIE HOPPERS EPISODES ARE SPOILER FREE UNTIL THE DESIGNATED SPOILER-TALK SECTION I've been waiting for this one, and it's finally out. Yeah I know, a movie that Joe actually wanted to watch, this movie must suck! Aiyanna on the other hand....... Anyway, The Climb is an indie comedy about two...

Freaky - Review
Blumhouse is at it again with a new R-rated horror-comedy! Freaky is a horror remake/parody/something of Freaky Friday (which Freaky Friday? I have no clue). Vince Vaughn (bad guy) body swaps with a teenage girl and the girl has to redo it within 24 hours. Okay, yeah, the 24 hour thing is pretty...
-
The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run - Review
Everybody loves Spongebob (well almost everybody), which is why there is so much Spongebob media out there. Video games, shirts, toys, and now, three movies. Sponge on the Run is the third Spongebob movie, and the first to be animated entirely in CG. We all have our own opinions about that little...
-
Come Play - Review
Would it be Halloween without a PG-13 horror movie in theaters? I think not! Come Play is about an autistic boy with a demon in his iPad and of course, antics ensue. There's not much to summarize about this one, it's a PG-13 horror movie, you can't go in expecting a great story. There's still...
-
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm - Review
If you asked anyone last year if there would ever be a Borat sequel, they'd call you crazy for even asking. Hell, if you asked anyone three months ago if there would ever be a Borat sequel they'd call you crazy for even asking, but here we all. Borat is one of my favorite movies of all time, a...
-
Honest Thief - Review
Yep, another thriller hit theaters this weekend. But hey Liam Nesson is in this one so that's good... maybe. Honest Thief is about a bank robber who has to confront his past to help improve his future. He tires to go to the cops and turn himself in but of course, antics ensue. Corruption, a...

The War with Grandpa - Review
Alright Tenet, play time's over, the big boys are coming out. The War with Grandpa is an adaptation of a kids book that was supposed to come out in 2018, then it got pushed, then Weinstein happened, so we're getting it now. It's a family comedy about a heated battle between a grandpa and his...
-
Infidel - Review
No, this isn't the 2010 Jewish comedy, it's the 2020 Christian thriller. D'Souza produced this movie, which should tell you everything you need to know, but this is no documentary. Actually, this is a lot different then you might imagine a Christian film to be. Of course, that doesn't…

Break the Silence: The Movie - Review
BTS is the most popular KPOP group out there, so it's no surprise that they have a movie. Actually, this is their third movie (that is surprising) and it cornicles the Love Yourself World Tour. Yep, most groups would put their tour movie on DVD, but BTS put it in theaters, three times. That…

Feels Good Man - Review
The story of Pepe the meme frog is one with laughs, cries, hope, desperation, life, death, and I am not even joking. In this internet obsessed world, can we really be surprised that such a basic thing like a picture of a cartoon frog would warrant a documentary? Feels Good Man is a documentary...

The Broken Hearts Gallery - Review (Feat. tccasanova Gaming)
Despite theaters only being open a few weeks, there is already a second rom-com coming down the pipeline. The Broken Hearts Gallery is produced by Selena Gomez (for no reason at all) and is about to seemingly different people trying to get over their past to embrace their future. If that sounds...

Mulan (2020) - Review (Feat. Molethu's Studios)
The new Mulan movie has finally dropped on Disney Plus for $29.99! Yep! The house of the mouse has once again lowered the bar by making you pay for a movie on a streaming service you have to pay for. Of course, with such... confidence, this movie must be good, right? Well, Mulan is more of an...
-
Tenet - Review
The movie that is supposed to open the theaters is finally out! Tenet is the new Christopher Nolan film about... uh... time travel. I'm not going to lie, I didn't really understand the mechanics of the film from the trailer, but hey, that's what the actual movie is for! Yep I saw it and yep I...
-
Bill & Ted Face the Music - Review
It's been a pretty bogus year for us all, which makes the timing of this new Bill and Ted movie most excellent. Bill and Ted Face the Music is the third film in the Bill and Ted franchise, releasing 29 years after the second film. Bogus Journey divided the fan base, but hopefully this one can…

The Personal History of David Copperfield - Review
No! It's not about the magician! It's about a Charles Dickens book! Sorry to disappoint, just wanted to get that out of the way. Anyway, The Personal History of David Copperfield is about David Copperfield (go figure). It's basically a bunch of short stories, but at the same time, it kind of…

The New Mutants - Review
Yes! It is finally out! The curse is broken, The New Mutants has finally released in theaters! Of course, it wasn't screened for critics, which isn't a good sign, but who cares about signs? The New Mutants is out, baby! The New Mutants is an X-Men spin-off about a bunch of dysfunctional young...
-
Words on Bathroom Walls - Review
Of course, the theaters couldn't even be open a day without a PG-13 romantic comedy being introduced. Words on Bathroom walls is about a guy with schizophrenia just trying to be a normal high schooler. He, of course, meets a girl and that changes things somewhat. I would say "and that changes...
-
Unhinged - Review
The movies are open again, and what do we get? A Russell Crowe movie! Yay? Unhinged is about Russell Crowe in a car. Russell Crowe then gets mad. That's basically the plot of the whole movie. Just because it has a simple plot doesn't mean it's bad of course, simple plots can be a good thing for a...
-
Spree - Review
Hop in boys, we're going on a spree, a killing spree! Spree is about an Uber (it's basically Uber) driver who kills people for views. This is not unlike The Movie Hoppers who subjects themselves to the worst films ever made! Anyway, yeah, killing spree, antics ensue, yadda yadda yadda, we've seen...

Hamilton - Review
The Broadway phenomenon Hamilton is now available on Disney Plus! A direct conversion of the play, Hamilton follows the story of Hamilton as he does Hamilton thingies, with fun music! While it is critically acclaimed, that doesn't mean the Movie Hoppers aren't going to turn up the heat. Does...
-
My Spy - Review
Well, My Spy finally came out on Amazon Prime and you know what that means, it's time for The Movie Hoppers to do their thing. Everyone has seen the trailer by now, but what is it really about? What genre is it? Who is the target audience? Who knows, I mean, we know. Is My Spy a force to be...

Irresistible - Review

The King of Staten Island - Review
Pete Davidson stars as Pete Davidson in this new film written in part by Pete Davidson, "The King of Staten Island"! The King of Staten Island is a new(ish) PVOD semi-autobiographical comedy drama directed by Judd Apatow. I know that's a lot to take in, but the movie itself is a lot to take in....
-
Da 5 Bloods - Review
The new Spike Lee joint, Da 5 Bloods, has just launched on Netflix and the Movie Hoppers are taking it on! The film follows a group of Vietnam venerates trying to look for actual buried treasure that they buried during the war. During this social climate in the USA, a Spike Lee film seems like…

Artemis Fowl - Review
Almost two decades of development hell later and Artemis Fowl has finally hit the... small screen. Yep, Fowl is one of the newest films to bypass the big screen, by that doesn't mean we won't review it. We take personal pride here at The Movie Hoppers in making sure you don't waste a second of…
more -
The Lovebirds - Review
If you've been in a theater for the last decade, you probably saw the trailers for The Lovebirds. A couple witnesses a murder and reacts poorly, leading them to have to solve the crime on their own. It's a silly, high-concept idea, but it also sets itself up as a silly, high-concept movie. The…

THE MOVIE HOPPERS 1 YEAR BIRTHDAY BASH EXTRAVAGANZA
Yes, that's right folks. It's been one full year since the fateful first Movie Hoppers episode. It was a day of biblical proportions, which obviously requires a celebration of equal proportions, which is what we're doing. Listen to us reminisce on the good times, the bad times, and everything in...
-
Scoob! - Review (Feat. Aiyanna)
Ruh-roh! Zoinks! Jinkies! Fuck! Scooby-Doo is back (well, it really never left if you've been paying attention), and of course, it is a CGI kids film. Scoob! is a reboot of the classic Hannah-Barbara cartoon Scooby-Doo and got the same star-studded treatment a lot of these movies have. Of course,...

Jerry Seinfeld: 23 Hours to Kill - Review (Feat. Aiyanna)
Jerry Seinfeld, like a lot of us these days, has a lot of time to kill, but does he use it in the right way? 23 hours to kill is Seinfeld's first new stand-up special since 1998. After that special was recorded, he vowed to never reuse Seinfeld jokes again, so this is all new stuff, but is that a...
-
TFW no GF - Review
Just when you thought there would never be a movie called TFW no GF, well, it happened. TFW no GF (that feel when no girlfriend) is a documentary about 4channers and what they do with their depressing lives. It is a fresh insight on the historically dehumanized 4chan landscape, but is that a good...
-
Trolls World Tour - Review (Feat. Aiyanna)
Not even Corona could keep this release down! The sequel to Trolls is here and this time, Poppy and the gang of famous people have to save the world from the evil hard rock trolls (history repeats itself, eh?). Against all odds, the first Trolls movie wasn't that bad, but that doesn't give the...
-
I Still Believe - Review (Feat. Aiyanna)
Today the Hoppers are tackling the new Christian film by the Erwin brothers, "I Still Believe" which serves as a biopic for Jeremy Camp.

Impractical Jokers: The Movie - Review (Feat. Aiyanna)
So this movie came out of nowhere. Just in case you missed the memo, there is a movie out about the famous truTV prank show, Impractical Jokers titled "Impractical Jokers: The Movie". I never watched the TV show but I like funny things, so this should still work. Impractical Jokers: The Movie is...
