So if you’re a fan of this website, you know I’ve been here for a few years now. Mostly I get to pick my own topics and request what I want to cover, but sometimes the editor in chief will send assignments and I don’t like to say no. So when he sent me a link to a trailer for some movie called Fresh, I had to open it and watch. Let’s watch it and react together, okay?
Ten seconds in: this is obviously a first (and terrible) date and why is this loser talking about how his date should be wearing a dress when he is wearing a wrinkled shirt with a plain scarf? Dude, suit up and then tell others how to dress. Okay, let’s keep going…
Twenty-five seconds in: one friend talking about the problems of dating and her friend reassuring her that she does not need a man. Okay, now I’m wondering why my boss sent me this. If you know anything about me then you know that a movie where someone is wanting to find Mr. Right is not my thing. But I keep watching anyway…
Thirty-seven seconds in: a meet cute in a supermarket. I am trying not to roll my eyes and I may be a little interested because now Sebastian Stan has entered the picture.
One minute in: Sebastian Stan’s character does not have an Instagram. Fake audible gasp. Wait, that’s a good song playing in the background…
1:03: the creepy vibes are hitting and I think something weird may be going on. Maybe this is not just a basic rom-com…
1:10 to the end: now they are dancing and eating and yeah, some creepy things are happening and if they are doing what I think they are doing, I need to see this film.
What did you think of the trailer?
Fresh will be on Hulu March 4th. I am clearing my schedule.
