I love you, JLo, but we walked out after half of your movie.

True, my six-day-old replaced right shoulder-in-a-sling was starting to bother me a little, but mostly we left because Hustlers is a really bad movie. You're beautiful, but even the T&A got boring.

In the car on the way home, I read the IMDb synopsis to my husband. Turns out we didn't miss anything, but still glad we went.

Beautiful women dancing half naked are entertaining to watch, but then you expect a passable plot and believable dialogue, especially once the dancing dwindles.

2. I applaud your willingness to try a movie less than a week after surgery.

After my rotator cuff surgeries, I don’t think I put on clothes for a week, let alone went into a crowd.

I know what you mean; I'm just in sweatpants and hubby's button-up shirt. Not my first rodeo: both hips, other shoulder, one knee. Arthritis loves me.

We were thinking of seeing Ad Astra, but somebody here said it's half "Brad Pitt's face in a helmet" so we might wait.

7. My husband would have stayed if I hadn't said I wanted to go.

The scenery was pleasant. 🙂

I would say something about the nature of 100% of the male characters but it would be a spoiler.
