Two shady French-Canadians (Paul Rudd, Paul Giamatti) hatch a get-rich-quick scheme, selling Christmas trees in New York City.

The critical consensus states: "Well-acted but uneven, All Is Bright strands a pair of strong performances from Paul Giamatti and Paul Rudd in a meandering script." Metacritic reports a weighted average of 54 out of 100 based on reviews from 15 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

It's predictable, shallow, and has some fun action sequences and light, somewhat amusing banter. The critics hated this movie, but I'd say it's pretty standard as buddy-cop movies go. Lethal Weapon and 48 hours, big hits the critics like better than Bright, seem equally dopey.

Inspired by an actual friendship between the director's mother and his mother's best friend, 'The Tree' is a poignant, heart-warming story about an 88 year-old widow (Dorothy Thorp) who takes a road trip from Wamego, Kansas, back to Terre Haute, Indiana, to visit her oldest and dearest childhood friend.

When Vanessa receives the results from her Family Tree DNA test, she discovers a family she didn't know existed and travels to their home for Christmas. Starring Aimee Teegarden, Andrew Walker, and James Tupper.

Bright is very similar. It had a weak script, poor direction, and a lot of ham fisted social commentary. Mostly it felt like a lazy production.

Brights. Brights are the only ones able to wield and use the power of a Magic Wand. While most Brights are Elves, there are Human Brights, but they're "one in a million". Orcs may be Brights as well, although the rates of this are unknown.

The world of Bright takes place in an alternate universe where humans and fantasy races like elves, orcs, goblins, dwarves, and others have co-existed since the beginning of time.

the afterlife The tree of life represents the afterlife, and connection between the earth and heaven. The bond and affection to trees is so deep that Celts believed the actual trees were their ancestors, gatekeepers to the Celtic Otherworld. As such, the tree of life in Celtic Culture is sacred.

Julia Butterfly Hill lived for 738 days, from December 1997 to December 1999, in the canopy of a giant 1500 year old redwood tree named Luna. She ended her revolutionary action when an agreement was made with Pacific Lumber Company to spare the tree and a 200 foot buffer zone surrounding the tree.

Mission completed, they wed a few days later against the backdrop of a big holly wreath and agree to spend every Christmas together for their rest of their lives - whether that's ruined by his pesky years-long deployments or not.

A Christmas Tree Miracle A father (Kevin Sizemore) and his dysfunctional family are reminded of the true meaning of Christmas from a local tree farmer (Terry Kiser) as they learn that miracles do come true, if you believe! A warm-hearted holiday tale for the whole family.

This isn't your usual, magical fantasy though - there's TONS of bad language, bloody violence and nudity in a strip club. It's NOT for kids. Characters are shot, stabbed, sliced and more with a fair amount of blood flow. In one scene, an elf's throat is slit and in another, a fairy is beaten to death with a broom.

There are very minor flaws, but it doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed Bright and I think audiences will too, I mean, go ahead and google the audience reviews. It's a Netflix movie, if people can enjoy bad movies and shows on Netflix, then people will definitely like this one.

The movie is based on 'Thud' by Terry Pratchett. Trolls have been replaced by orcs, elves have replaced dwarves and the Will Smith character is a very credible Vimes.
