On your wedding day, the vows are promises you make to each other. Normally they’re of the “love and hold and cherish until death do we part” variety, but some couples like to get even more personal. That’s the case with our two lovebirds Chance (Chris Chalk) and Grace (K.D. Chalk). We open on the happy couple getting married and then fast forward a year later as they head to a friend’s country house to celebrate their anniversary and also say goodbye as they plan to move across the country.
What happens when your in-laws become your bullies? We find out one outcome in Jessie Jalee’s The In-Law Gang. The film stars Jalee along with comedian Clifton Powell and follows Jalee’s Cassie – a celebrity chef – as she tries to navigate her new marriage with John Jr. (Nashawn Kearse) and the in-laws that come with it. Their love seems real and true until her mother-in-law, Madelyn (LaShonda LaLa’ Courtney) turns the family against Cassie whom she deems not good enough for her son. Of course there’s more to the story than meets the eye and as we move towards the straw that breaks Cassie’s back, we embark on a journey full of twists, turns, hidden secrets and surprises.
The film revolves around an unlikely pair of brothers thrown together by the foster system. Will Sharp (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) is fresh from the military and trying to find stability and financial security for his new son and ailing wife. Danny Sharp (Jake Gyllenhaal) stayed home and picked up the family business of robbing banks and vandalism.
Michael Bay’s Ambulance is a thrill per minute! Too bad there are 135 of them. Excepting about 15 minutes of setup, the action gets going and never stops until about 20 minutes before the end. That’s when there’s a ton of slow motion. While this hectic action can be maintained in a 90-minute property, 2 hours and 15 minutes is a lot of adrenaline to spend.
