Weekend Films: Ask Me to Dance, Pumpkin Everything and The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

Happy Weekend! What's everyone's movie plans? There are a lot of movies out this weekend but not a lot that I want to see. Here are the three that I'm interested in: Ask Me to Dance, Pumpkin Everything and The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry. They're all in the romance genre.

Ask Me to Dance is a dance movie (hence the title) which is a genre of movies I love (one of these days I'm going to post a picture of my dance movie collection), it seems like a fun romantic comedy of two people trying to find love along with their love of dancing. Pumpkin Everything centers on a writer who went back to her small town to look after her grandfather which I believe during pumpkin season and also finds love. The last movie is The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, when I read the book (or tried, it was a Did Not Finish) I couldn't connect with the story and found what I read to be boring. However, the trailer for the movie which seems really interesting makes me want to give the book a second read.

Well, these are the movies that I want to watch, what movies are you interested in seeing?
