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

This Beautiful Fantastic (2017)

Woman with OCD, a bleak wardrobe, and a fear of nature -- somehow caused by being left in a park as an infant -- gets on the bad side of her gruff widower neighbor. He's a lover of beautiful gardens and cannot tolerate the way that she's neglected hers. When she's given 30 days to turn her garden around or lose her lease, she cannot see a way forward. Who do you think steps up to help?

It's predictable and definitely breaks zero new ground. But it's also sweet and an inoffensive way to pass 90 minutes. Plus: Andrew Scott's in it.
