READY OR NOT
I have been wanting to watch Ready or Not since its release in August, but just couldn’t get there. Now, you will all be delighted to enjoy my review later rather
than sooner because I’m lazy. So, off we go…
The premise to Ready or Not is when Grace marries into the Le Domas Family, she must play a game with the family on her wedding night. After the wedding,
Daddio explains the rules of the game that began originally with Great Great Granddaddio, Victor, who looks suspiciously like Jack Black from School of Rock.
Anyone entering the family must draw a card and the game begins. Grace draws Hide and Seek and that’s when the family grabs various weapons and come
after her.
It is hilarious fun! Almost like Clue with lots of comedy and cussing thrown in. The family daughter is just unlucky in all things and manages to kill most of the
staff by accident. Mumsie, played by Andie McDowell (who is the only actor in this movie that you will recognize), is trying to keep the family focused as they
run around a mansion looking for the bride. The rule is if the family doesn’t capture the bride and perform the ritual by sun-up, the whole family will die, so
most of the family is very serious about this, while some of the others are just along for the chaos of it all.
I give this movie 2 bottles of 1820 Juglar Cuvee at the modest rate price of $43,500 per bottle, because the premise of the movie is perfect and I think everyone
getting married should play the game, 2 bottles of 1999 Dom Perignon (complete with gift box) at $199.00 per bottle, because there were some really LOL
moments where the family reminds you so much of your own, you almost black out, and 1 bottle of Wycliff Brut at $5.99 per bottle because I didn’t really care
for the ending. I mean, it made sense and all, but I expected better.
