When you type “zany synonyms” in Google, you find words like avant-garde, eccentric, quirky, and so on. But Netflix’s latest rom-com, The Wonder Weeks, directed by Appie Boudellahis and Aram van de Rest, is none of that, despite Netflix projecting it as a “Zany” comedy on the website. Of course, not everything Netflix says has to be true, and ninety percent of their original movies are forgettable, but this movie is god-awful. I wish I had a less harsh word to describe it, but this is just how it is.
I don’t mind the romantic comedy or family comedy genres. If things are done well, films of these genres can turn out to be as satisfactory as eating a bag full of potato chips when you have no other snacks available. But the problem with Netflix is that they have this exasperating tendency to apply an equivalent of TikTok filter to everything,...

But if, on the other hand, you are family people who believe in a better world and that your children could live peacefully with AI and sustainability… The Wonder Weeks offers you a gentle proposal and a chance to encounter the challenges of raising a baby.
Movie review
On a technical level, a correct film, with good performances of rather light comedy, the kind that won’t win you a Cesar or an Oscar.
It has a simple, natural script and is treated as a light comedy (also) at script and direction level, with a slow pace that marks well the times of the sequences and these, in the general tone,...
