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

Holiday in the Wild (2019)

I almost turned this off 10 minutes in -- it felt like a cheap Hallmark Movie-type of thing. Kate (Kristin Davis) gets dumped by her husband literally minutes after their son leaves for college, but she decides to go ahead with the safari she'd planned for their second honeymoon alone.

Though Kate planned a high-end, pampered type of trip, she quickly decides to ditch that for pitching in at an elephant sanctuary. Although it felt low-rent and Davis's acting hasn't improved since Sex and the City, I can't deny that there was really something to this film. I was charmed and inspired by the "it's never too late to change your life" message.
