Julia Roberts and George Clooney's new film this year is nostalgic. For safety.

About 3 or 4 years ago, the U.S. music industry, I felt, merged in agreement to release one vibe of song. Doja Cat’s “Say So” and many Dua Lipa Songs have beats that strongly remind us of 90s songs. They're fun in melody, upbeat, repetitive, modern but nothing too experimental. Safe. I suppose that in times of crises, we must minimize risk and stick to what we know best.

This year two master movie stars, with all the money and status in the world to pick the most avant-garde and political movies, decide to go back to their roots. Julia Roberts and George Clooney are back again for a cheesy Romcom.

Just watch this clip, the trailer itself is as cheesy as the premise. It gives just about everything away.

I script is witty from what I can tell and Julia Roberts delivers witty lines like no other actor I know. I got nothing against going back to your roots and enhancing your craft. In times of trouble, stick to what you know best. Of course I’m going to watch this.

Thank you for reading.
