Oh hi,
This week on Filmsack, as we flee from the arms of a Good Man in the city over a misunderstanding, that probably involves daddy issues, we find ourselves driven off the road and right into the smelly survival hole of Do you know him, suspected GLP-1 user John Good Man, Oh, we all know the Good Man, who lives on 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE… back before he cut back on the Muffin’s Man… now pulling a daddy’s got regrets move by holding us safe-hostage bad-daddy style in this 2016 sorta sequel of that kaiju movie set in the same universe that proves genres are meant to be broken and shoved into John Goodman’s Barrel of acid he keeps under the sink.
Anywho, with just a little rewrite I think this would play great on the Hallmark Channel:
Throw out the Alien stuff…. add in a big city job for our main character (engaged but needs some space) and now she has to go back home to check in on her small town dad who is suffering a humorous psychotic break… while there she reconnects with high school classmate Emmitt who never left and finally gives her a piece of his mind on why she is always running from happiness. She scared. You know what… put the aliens back in, it will be fine.
Randy, I’m sorry. No one is looking for you.. not because you are not loved… but because they are all ded… oh stop crying. Don’t make me get the barrel.
