Love, Simon (2018)

If you don't have time to watch Love, Simon, a high school comedy drama about a student's largely trouble-free coming-out to his only beautiful, articulate and supportive family members and friends, a scroll through the United Colours of Benetton website will suffice, but if you do have time, it is a manufactured, sanitised, suicide-free, family violence-free, largely schoolyard bullying-free and a wonderfully - perhaps not impossibly - feel-good hoot.

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse (2015)

This movie's raison d'etre is to bring pubescent boys and strippers, sex and gore together and to make it seem clever and not just another movie that brings pubescent boys, strippers, sex and gore together, but the giveaway that this is in fact just another not-very-clever movie with pubescents, strippers, sex and gratuitous blood and guts is the fact the movie could just as easily be called, Strippers' Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse - there's not much evidence in this zombie outbreak movie that the scouts' preparedness and resourcefulness is any better than the stripper's.
