Netflix just dropped a brand-new movie perfect for those who love cheesy Hallmark flicks and shows like Virgin River.
The film only arrived today (May 8) on Netflix, but the critics have already delivered their verdicts, with something of a split in the consensus.
The reviewer goes on to state: “Eliciting exasperated laughs at its every manipulation, it may be the most ridiculously corny movie of all time.”
acters “feel authentic” despite the “formulaic” narrative and the mystery at its heart was “dull”.
The outlet said that surprisingly the “tried-and-tested clichés” were “far more enjoyable” than expected.

While The Independent wrote in their 2/5 star review that the movie needs “more talking octopus”.
The Guardian was more complimentary in its 3/5 review and hailed it as a “gentle Netflix charmer”.
The publication praised the film for its third act, describing it as “a neatly contrived yet sweetly effective and emotionally earned ending”.
The review concluded: “Remarkable might be a stretch, but decent will do.”
While TheWrap said it was “too heartwarming to dismiss” and the movie didn’t “need to be remarkable to be worthwhile”.
Remarkably Bright Creatures is adapted from the bestselling novel by Shelby Van Pelt of the same name.

The movie follows a widow and aquarium worker Tova (plashed by Sally Field) and her friendship with Cameron (Lewis Pullman), who comes to town in search of his long-lost father.
Prior to Cameron’s arrival, Tova has formed an unlikely bond with a giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus (voiced by Alfred Molina), who narrates the film and has a surprising role to play in the story.
Along with the leads, Remarkably Bright Creatures stars Gangs of London and Star Trek legend Colm Meaney, Joan Chen from The Wedding Banquet, The Ranch’s Kathy Baker, Little Miss Sunshine of Beth Grant, and Sofia Black-D’Elia from The Night Of.
