Cha Cha Real Smooth

Writen by MarciaClarke on January 04, 2024

This movie is very middle of the road blandness. It is an incredibly sanitized portrait of mental illness, neurodivergence, and depression. All these apparently flawed people seem to fill their days with well-adjusted and open discussions about their struggles. There's no nuance or dimension to any of the characters. Everyone is perfectly nice to everyone except for the stereotypical son/father bully duo who are of course huge pieces of shit. It at least follows a coherent narrative and is watchable. I'd say a good litmus test on whether to watch it or not is if the title gives you the icks. I should have known better.
