Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Everything, Everything (2017)

A teen romance in the vein of “The Fault in Our Stars” and “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl,” which is A-OK by me.

Maddy has been inside since she was an infant. She’s basically a girl in a really really nice bubble. Then a family moves next door and there's a son who's one of those boys who doesn’t exist in the real world but oh how every girl wishes he did. He entertains her with skits from his bedroom window and texts her and, eventually, visits the bubble.

This movie does have a bit of heft to it -- a serious twist I didn’t see coming -- but the twist wasn't needed for this to be a thumbs-up.
