Watch Tully For Free

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Reader most likely already knows what the movie's about, so. Positives: (1.) That Charlize would gain fifty pounds to make the character is way beyond duty. Fooled me, I thought it was very good prosthetics - and would have been healthier for her. (2.) Script topic was unusual, but important. Well written, and well acted by all. The lack of discussion about pro help was not important as most low income and/or educated and/or rural persons that's not an easy viable option. Negatives: (1.) As seems to be the norm in movies that show teachers and administrators they are portrayed as self-centered, unknowing, little caring, few scarifies, dumpkoffs. Still the stereotype. (2.) Tully was a little too unrealistic in many ways such that at one point I thought she was a mental illness/breakdown imaginary creation of Charlize's character. But, enjoyable whether real or not.

Charlize Theron takes on the role of playing a mother of three in need of a revival. She shines in the role as she always does of riding the emotional rollercoaster in being a mother. With highs few and far between, writer Diablo Cody really took a deep dive into motherhood, not fully capturing what it's like to be a mother, but more of a take on how hard it can really be. How tired moms get, and how many responsibilities that they have to keep up with. This is shown off with her take on the idea of a night nanny, a young woman who comes in and helps out where she needs help. Which really is just showing the problems of being maybe not an absent father, but definitely not a very helpful father. With this new night nanny Marlo, played by Theron, hopes to have her life's stress to go away and for peace to fall upon her. From al of the biopics that comes out these days, there was so many indicators that this would be a biopic of a mother, one that has surprisingly not been done very well in the past. However, Cody decides to go down a more theatrical and dramatic take. With the addition of Tully in her life, the story takes many different turns and travels further past bio-pic and more into a dramatic almost thriller.

Tully (4 out of 5 stars).Tully is a comedy drama film that shows the raw concept of a relationship between a mother and their children. Tully is good. Charlize Theron gives one of the best performances. Of course, she gained weight for the role. Seeing her closing her eyes in a car while her child is screaming and kicking her seat. Like she is about to snap was incredible. The film is like a modern day Mary Poppins, were a night nanny comes and makes everything all better. The plot was good. Marlo (Charlize Theron) is a mother of two and pregnant with the third. Her son struggles with a development disorder were he has a mental breakdown when things do not go his way. Or is afraid to flush the public toilet cause it would make a loud noise. The school he goes too. The principle is trying to inform Marlo that they need to hire him an aid. Since the teacher cannot focus on just him when they have other kids to teach. And their daughter is a reasonable child that tries to help her mother. When Marlo has her baby. She barely has time for herself. She barely gets any sleep, tries to get chores, and take the kids to school and face against a meeting with the principle everytime. Her husband Drew (Ron Livingston) is busy with work and only shows up in the evening and than is busy playing video games. While her brother Craig (Mark Duplass) suggest they hire a night nanny. They hire Tully (Mackenzie Davis). A night nanny that does all the babysitting at night, she does the cleaning, and bakes desserts for the morning. Tully's plot is like one of those life lesson themes. Were Tully suggest that Marlo has it easy. She has the sameness which she takes for granted. While Marlo is missing her earlier years, were her body physique was thin, and she had plenty of energy. Seeing Tully and Marlo sharing their experiences and how one has it better was great. Tully is an interesting character. She has plenty of energy, open spirit perspective on life. Having newborns can be stressful on the parents. It is the most beautiful things in life with the babies growing every day and keeping you up all night. Charlize Theron was fantastic. Seeing her character being exhausted, trying to take care of her kids, and when she sits down at the dinner table. You can see that she is exhausted mentally and physically. Mackenzie Davis was great as Tully. She is like the modern day Mary Poppins. She is always cheery and energetic on life. She is the night nanny that every mother needs. Overall, Tully is a good comedy drama film. Charlize Theron and Mackenzie Davis are great. The plot and concept of the beauty aspect of mothers dealing with newborns and their kids can be raw. But its those small moments that every mother can cherish with the bond and their babies.

Marlo (Charlize Theron) is very pregnant. Her husband Drew (Ron Livingston) spends his spare time playing video games. Her son's tantrums are causing problems at school and they demand she hire an aide for him. After the birth, she is overwhelmed by the new baby. Her wealthy brother Craig (Mark Duplass) casually suggests a night nanny ignoring the costs. The arrival of Tully (Mackenzie Davis) is a salvation and they slowly become more than friends.Charlize is stripped of her Hollywood super gorgeous idolatry. She's great. I wasn't sure with the addition of Tully. It takes one particularly strange turn before it goes full crazy and I bought into it. The reveal is a little muddled and I would subtract Drew's comment about having a night nanny at the hospital. That little comment causes some issues. I'd revise it in a specific way. No matter what, that's a minor bump in an otherwise terrific movie.
