What do you mean? 2002 was 10 years ago. If it was 2022, we’d have flying cars and hoverboards
Literally was about to write "More like 20 years ago" before I sunk into depression realizing how only I am
Oh, thank you for saying that. It was absolutely going to stop me from liking the video (jk)
@@apatheticsticker8137 I have a flying car but no hoverboard. Maybe its 2017...?
I was literally about to come in here and be like "oh my sweet summer millenial sibling, from one Canadian lesbian in their 30s to another (are you 30 yet? lmao), 2002 was not ten years ago" ilysm, I love your content, we gotta hang out sometime lmao
Former military spouse here (still married, my partner is just no longer in the military): literally no one cares if your marriage is "legit" or not. You're not required to prove that you're really in love with your spouse and no one would go to prison as a penalty for getting married to someone they didn't love.
The reason military personnel get housing allowances is because the junior enlisted do not get paid enough to afford housing. It's not "extra money"- you get it because you need it. (To clarify, that is not taking into account hazard pay for combat which is a thing and was thr situation in the film but generally speaking junior enlisted don't get paid a lot.)
Also for us the health insurance wasn't very good- the insurance I had through my job was much better than what the military offered. Of course it's different for everyone (and i am not diabetic) but we had very bad experiences with military health care overall.
And the US military hasn't sent troops to Iraq in literal years. Was this movie meant to be set in the early 2000s? (I genuinely don't know)
TLDR: This movie is silly.
I know it was universally razzed by the military community (for the romanticism) … while simultaneously the joke was that the setup situation was “any given Tuesday in the Armed Forces”.
Exactly my thought. Here they don't care why you're married. Maybe some people about immigrants trying to get citizenships, I'm not sure that's even a thing the bureaucracy is worried about either. But seriously, two US citizens getting married, there is no questions or anything asked about "why" "are you sure?" "Is this just for money?" because no one really cares.
This movie is like watching Cadet Kelly to help you with D&C 🤦🏾♀️
Seriously! My grandfather was military, and granted he had seven kids, but if he made the kind of money this movie implies he would for being married, my mom might not have grown up poor!
I mean if you have no health care, any health care is good and an upgrade. And sadly, if you are waitstaff and independently employed as a musician on the side, I am sure the military healthcare is golden in your eyes. That being said, I agree they ove embellished the monetary and health care benefits for the sake of the film. But I know plenty of folks in I went to high school with who saw the Military as their best choice, not because they thought they would be rich. But because they knew they would at least have a path to housing and health care as well as other benefits. And in comparison to like working at Target or something, it seemed like a golden goose to an at least decent adult life.
"This movie would've been at home in 2002 or 2003... But that was ten years ago"
Regrettably, according to my calculator app, 2002 was in fact twenty years ago. I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you. It hurts me too.
Came here to make sure I wasn't crazy. Just old.
Not me looking if someone else caught it 😂
Shhhh, the 80s were 20 years ago.
@@catyfaurie9446 This is accurate.
Time stamp?!
Another American type one diabetic here-- I have the exact same insulin pump that Cassie is shown using in the movie and I shit you not, the company sent out an email on the day this premiered, practically bragging that they were featured in it...a movie where the core premise was someone needing to commit fraud in order to afford their life-sustaining piece of technology. The lack of self-awareness was STAGGERING.
It's not the companies fault you live in the ONLY shitty rich country that doesn't manage to establish a proper healthcare system.
The lack of YOUR awareness is staggering. It's not the company to blame, but the US government.
It's basically the majority of US citizens lacking any awareness. Every time they need to vote for better conditions some politicians just wave the star spangled banner and the brains go out of the window.
Your food is shit, your healthcare is awful, your educational system is a mess, prisons are full, power grid and water system are on the edge, people have to work their ass off for minimum wages...but hey, who cares...
Haha I hope your diabetes defeats you 😂😊
That is both hilarious and depressing.
How u get diabetes
And when
As Kennie JD pointed out, if he is still voting for you to lose your rights, that is not love.
The timing of the release of this show was pretty great. Around a week or so after it released the Republican party successfully blocked a bill that would've capped insulin prices. But hey, when you mix blue and red you get purple. So that's cool, right?
Naturally, those people should just suck it up & marry a military member! They can look over their differences in *looks at smudged writing on hand* beliefs on human rights!
@@spookyteal brilliant *chef's kiss*
Excuse me….the hell?!
It feels connected
"Things are getting a bit serious in war..." 😂
Someone said the movie is for girls with racist bfs and I wholeheartedly agree
So accurate
Maybe the girls are also racists
You’re not wrong 😬 specifically the girlies who also identify as liberal or like have “activist” or “blm” in their bios like…cmon now
@@jojo-he5gj the amount of those people who fight with me about black issues and the black experience in the US 💀
So my friend recommended this movie and in the same conversation said she hoped her boyfriend hadn't offended me with his homophobic jokes the day before. She said he was just being "silly" 🙃 Anyway, I'll be out trying to make new friends this weekend.
I have never hated a movie that was so acclaimed by most of its audience until this movie came out. It got so much praise from a good portion of people and for what?? At least with movie series like 365 and After, the vocal majority *know* that they're bad.
To paraphrase a tweet I saw a week or two after it released, this movie is definitely made for the girls with racist military boyfriends...
honestly this movie seems so boring
@@blueblack3591 It is but in the most conservative, pro-military way possible
Yeap definitely made for pseudo progressive pick me girls who just want the cool points but won't give up the racist, sexist boyfriend 🥰
@Kirk Wolfe - Indie Music it’s red because of republicans and blue because of democrats but tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if they wanted to be quirky and include that too
It got good reviews because a lot of privledged people who aren't as directly affected by the ills of society (like being diabetic and unable to afford insulin for example) they want to pretend we live in a magical world where political differences are just twitter fodder that they never have to think too much about or take too seriously lest they be inconvenienced by the very harsh realities of our society. This kind of movie makes it okay for them to act like their political ideologies are just opinions that they have a right to vs real policies and practices that cause ACTUAL HARM TO PEOPLE.
Those two end up in divorce court, and he ends up a thumb cop. She ends up a single mom looking for a healthy relationship. He gets away with domestic abuse because of his family connections.
This is how it would really end up. The sequel should be a horror movie.
Exactly and no sensible guy would ever go for a single mom who makes bad decisions, so she whines about it on social media. And the thumb cops gets married to some other vulnerable woman and becomes a wife beater, continuing the cycle.
As a military brat, this movie severely overestimates the Marine Corps give a shit about 'real marriage'. I have seen people get married for less and never have issues. My aunt was the maid of honor for her friend's 'wedding' (justice of the peace four days before her boyfriend of three weeks deployed), she met the best man who asked for her hand by the end of the night with the romantic overture, "I'm moving to Guam on Tuesday, do you want to get married?" No one ever questioned them. Also, the jar-head attitude is spot on- I have heard that "good enough to fight for your ass..." line like a thousand times waiting tables near bases on payday weekend. This movie is complete dogshit, but they did get that right.
I graduated high school in 2001 so I had a *lot* of friends in the military. And a good majority of those friends were deployed.
Marriages that were just for the benefits were common across all the branches.
Basically the attitude was “why let these benefits just sit there being unused when I have friends in need?”
When the serviceman getting married wasn’t deployed, him and his “wife” just lived as roommates.
Everyone knew what the deal was and didn’t think much of it and I didn’t know anyone that went to these elaborate lengths to establish a fake relationship.
It’s not like they have MPs that sniff out fake relationships and people “StEaLiNg FrOm ThE gOvErMeNt”. No one cares.
that's such a sad thing to get right
This movie could've been improved EASILY if the guy had decided to enlist to support his family or something like that. Then he'd have a reason to support being in the military that isn't, you know, american rights (?) and the couples' core belief systems wouldn't be so fucking different
And it wouldn't hypocritical as hell that he writes her off as a lazy liberal stereotype despite her working three jobs while he's in debt to a guy named Johnno
@@bigbearkat2010 well at least that's accurate to real conservatives
@@bigbearkat2010 I don't know. I think it'd only be hypocritical if he stereotyped her as a trust-fund kid with a Lexus paid for by her parents who is trying to cheat the system- while ALSO trying to cheat the system. Not only to pay off his hypothetical drug dealer- but also that he can avoid a DUI b/c his ex-cop father let him off the hook for totaling his $50,000 Corolla.
Now THAT would be hypocritical.
@@TheNumnutRandomness Glad none of that happened then. Oh wait.
I was about to say something snide but then I realized my abject hate for the enemies to lovers trope was coloring literally every remark I could think of, which is not fair to legit fans of the trope. I'm being subjective. I shall bite my tongue.
The only thing I can say about this movie is that they got how racist and blood thirsty marines to be 100% accurate! My best friend is in the marines and his horror stories about it are absolutely disgusting.
So your best friend is racist and blood thirsty...?
my brief stint with dating a green army boy, i learned so many slurs i wish i could erase from my vocabulary. the brainwashing they do to force soldiers to be obedient and units to be cohesive made it impossible to try and reel him back from turning into a racist monster. :( how does someone compartmentalize against a centuries-old institution that's perfected the art of breaking down your personality and suffocating you with hatred for the Other until you have no energy left to question it?
It would've been an interestig commentary if ONLY they hadn't underplayed the racism just to romanticize the marines! This WHOLE movie's problem is that it romanticizes the messed up shit that could come up with.
@@IMayOrMayHaveNot Exactly! Like, news flash the guy is still going to be horrifically racist when he gets out of jail
Yup. A friend of mine from college was drugged and raped (repeatedly) by a group of off-duty Marines in Arkansas during spring break one year. She was a huge supporter of the armed forces, frequently donated to Wounded Warrior Project and other charities, volunteered for in her spare time, hugely patriotic. Not so much any more. Had to get an abortion. Fortunately, I talked her into hiring a private investigator (since she refused to go to the authorities), and later on I learned that several of the guys had been killed or disfigured in a fiery auto crash, so at least there is some semblance of justice in the universe.
The diabetes and not affording insulin is spot on and no joke, my insurance did the same thing and decided to fuck with my prescription since it says to take between 3-15 units depending on what my blood sugar is at that time but my insurance company only saw the 3 and decided the refill date from that. Needless to say but I didn't have the 630 to pay out of pocket and it took nearly 4 days for my doctor to get things changed and preapproved and I ended up in DKA aka. dying and ended up in the hospital for 5 days. My only solace afterward was knowing my insurance had to pay for a hospital bill that was over 200 times the cost of the initially refused insulin. So yeah, you better believe I'd have no problem banging some Marine dude if it meant not going through that again!
Did the ins co or the pharmacy? I used to work in pharmacy and we’d have new people and didn’t understand insulin math (that it wasn’t complicated) and do the day supply wrong. Otherwise you probably just need a PA. Did the pharmacy give you that option?
@@nekograce7914 yeah most of the time my med issues are with the pharmacy techs. They like to look at the number of my pills and put it in as a three month supply (it's 30 days) and then they tell me it's too soon to fill it. It is frustrating trying to figure out whose error it is and being terrified of not getting your meds.
i had an opportunity to work in USA but I am diabetic as well, and when started asking my american friends about insurance was totally disgusted with way how it works. Prices are abnormal (not only for insuline but any other medical stuff) and bills for entering hospital is sth beyond my understanding. I pay monthly pretty high price in my work check but I have health care for free and noone will charge me if I go to hospital. Also insuline is for free, I pay just for needles and some of equipment (if I decide to have more fancy glucometer). My sallary is not so high in comparison but I don't have to worry if I will be able to pay medical bills
I'm so sorry that happened i hope you are doing a lot better now
This is so fekt. Wtf is wrong with America aside from everything?
They were so close to being “ok.” Imagine if he said she couldn’t afford her life saving medication on the stand and said “what am I fighting for if I have to marry a friend for her to live!” CMON ANYTHING
"What rights for Americans are you fighting for in Iraq in 2022?" plus the sound effect killed me lmao😂. Brilliant commentary as usual.
shit, we all knew they weren't fighting for any american rights in 2003 either. even before we knew about the WMD lie, we all knew it was about revenge.
Brainwashed clowns. They're no better than drones.
Edit: Drones don't r4pe, so the'yre worse.
I hated it. It was bad. Not even just the politics, but also how rushed the relationship felt. It was like boom boom boom in love. They didn't change as characters, just the relationship changed. Both have to grow and be dynamic or it is boring and falls flat. Layering that with the politics makes it worse. His beliefs are horrendous. He doesn't even see her mom as a person. Is her mom just gonna never ever meet that guy?
My apologies for not using names. I already forgot every name but Johno.
As an Australian who lives where every other guy has an 'O' added to the end of his name, honestly that was completely acceptable to me, haha
That's insta love at its best - or should I say worst.
There is so many issues in this movie, the racism, the health care issues in America, the romanisations of the military, the misogyny, yet some people are loosing their damn mind over this movie and how good they think it is!!
Just because the 2 main actors are good looking, it doesn’t mean its sexy
people are pleased by simple things
Oh those are all issues, but also the dialogue was terrible, the plot was terrible and the acting was barely passable. Like I'm glad I had it on in the background because this wasn't it. I enjoyed Partner Track way more than this, even that Kat Graham romance was better even though it was bad it was better.
@@kgal1298 that Kat graham romance was egregious, but I agree with you. Did all of the movie directors not read Romeo and Juliet? It is not the epic love story they think it is
@@blueblack3591 honestly I think it’s just because both of the actors are really good looking! Like the amount of edits I’ve seen on tik tok of the scene where the guy demands the girl to sit down is honestly concerning!
Americans suck at actually watching movies
"2002, 2003... That was 10 years ago!"
Amanda, that was TWENTY years ago, actually.
right it really does feel like it though
😂😂😂
Lmaooo how tf did I not notice that damn
I just aged rapidly after you brought that to my attention.
Shhhh, the 80s were 20 years ago.
I don't really understand why they should go to jail. It was, in a legal sense, a legitimate marriage, right? Papers signed and everything? As long as its legal the motive shouldn't matter. People marry for mercenary reasons all the time, and have done for as long as marriage has existed. It might not be a decent thing to thing to do, but it shouldn't be the governments/military's business if you marry for ~ Twue Wove ~ or just to make a household that benefits both parties. A dishonorable discharge for immoral behavior or something seems more like a punishment to fit the crime in this case
Can’t speak to the case in the film specifically but my step mom is an immigration attorney and the Government is VERY invested in making sure people get married for ~twue wove~ and not just to get citizenship status in that case, though I don’t think you get arrested in that case, the non citizen just gets deported.
there's a difference between a marriage for citizenship (one citizen and one foreigner) and a boot camp marriage (usually both are already citizens). And honestly, if they jailed all the military who didn't have ~twue wove~ marriages, our forces would be significantly depleted. it takes more than just getting married for benefits for the military to care. and yes, loss of rank and up to and including discharge would be a more likely consequence.
@@byMidnyt The difference is that a fake 'boot camp marriage' means you get benefits you have no right to, and nobody seems to care despite it being essentially a fraud to get 'tax payers money' everyone is always so concerned about when talking about social welfare or universal health care or anything poor people could benefit from.
While a marriage for citizenship doesn't necessarily mean you get government money, actually society as a whole could benefit from the spouse paying taxes etc., and there's still a huge effort to investigate those cases and punish 'offenders'. It seems that the majority of people don't have a problem giving money to the military, even if it's unwarranted, but don't want to give citizenship to foreigners, regardless if they would profit from it or not. I guess that's what 'patriotism' looks like in the US.
@@altothealtoiest1682 "twue wove" 😂
@@altothealtoiest1682 as others said, they don't seem to care about two US citizens (and why would they, they can't check every marriage) but more about the case you described (as seen in the movie "The Proposal" and other movies). But still, in this movie it shouldn't be an issue. A man and a woman, both US citizens, get married. So what? I don't think the military cares and others confirmed that.
As a connoisseur of bad conservative films, it’s amazing to me what these folks *put in their own movies.* They didn’t HAVE to make the lefty lady a diabetic whose choices end up between the Marine or literal death, thanks to conservative health care policies (or lack thereof) but they did. They didn’t HAVE to make the Marine’s debt to a drug dealer, but they did. So now they’re asking me to empathize with the small-minded jingoist hypocrite who won’t even defend his “wife” to his friends, over the woman with a job and drive and goals and no debt to a drug dealer because of a massive fuck up? Ok, movie, sure.
Like she's essentially being forced to prostitute herself to the marines on pain of death, what even the fuck
Conservatives have zero self-awareness.
In fairness, I think it's more of a "moderate" movie, in a "why can't both sides learn to get along?" And it shows exactly why that statement is s dumb. One "side" thinks the other doesn't deserve human rights, and you're asking them to get along. Cassie is the daughter of immigrants with a disability, and Luke supports a party who thinks she doesn't deserve to be in this country or live. "Why can't both sides learn to get along?" is asking one side to compromise but not the other, and that's exactly what happens in the movie.
Yeah I thought that was hilarious too. Like you could've at least tried to make the liberal girl horribly distasteful, but no lol. They made her a smart, resourceful, talented musician and the whole movie it was just her settling for someone who definitely didn't deserve a second glance like what?? 🤣🤣
It's not that they shouldn't take on these issues but they have no conception of how to handle them. It's like watching a child play with dynamite.
Honestly, i work in the health care system and dated someone whose father was in the military. First off, the line about the "just date me to get good health insurance" hahaha, I laughed at that. I've seen the "health insurance" they offer and it's crappy. The person I dated can actually confirm this. So no thank you 🙂
I don't think she wanted it because it was the best insurance, just because she couldn't afford the good ones and as a military spouse it would have been free.
It is pretty bad lol. I have the insurance the military offers which is Tricare. Copay amount is ALWAYS way higher than other insurance plans. Sigh.
@@a_grape_in_space1016 plus, they don't try to help you prevent chronic diseases and wait till the problem that could have been prevented is at its max. Seen so many patients and they tell me the same thing, tricare sucks
@@wigglemelon8807 I completely agree, like honestly, I would too if it meant it was free and it helped me get something I needed to literally live. Not the best but it's something rather than nothing
Sorry, this is off-topic, but your profile picture is exactly the same image I used as a profile picture 7 years ago, and seeing it again gave me such a bizarre, disorienting sense of temporal displacement.
Yep the white soldier and foreign woman fall in love trope. A tale that is boring as time itself.
Time is not boring😭😭
Hey...... Time isn't that boring
Do you mean cliché? Tropes can still be enjoyable if they are written well, however if it is poorly written to being unenjoyable, then it is a cliche. Though I can see where people come from for wanting to see different physical portrayals of the trope
....foreign?
@@riybtl Its a boring trope.
It makes nnoooo sense. How did they catch feelings? She was mad about the one guy, but he's just as bad!! Why would you sleep with someone that just hand waved away someone he's about to go to wat with saying he's going to hunt humans?! Ma'am, he's kinda soft admitting he agrees and you want the d because he's afraid they might try to kill him back?! Fist big argument he's calling her a slur, I know it.
“Oh my god, no! No- NOT THE *GOVERNMENT!”*

"Oh no, the pupper will be left alone!" The only valid concern with this movie!

Leave her alone she’s an aging millennial, her memory’s fading
what is a legitimate basis for marriage?? in most societies historically marriage for love is pretty uncommon and it’s such a subjective basis for a law anyways, how would you ever enforce that unless someone straight up confessed? i’ve never gotten married but i’m pretty sure the legal paperwork doesn’t make you pinky swear on your mom’s life that you feel butterflies in your stomach whenever you think about the person you’re marrying or anything like that
🤣🤣
You should look up how it is for people marrying for citizenship. In many cases, they do legitimately love one another but they have to jump through several hoops in order to "prove" it. Disabled people go through similar issues in their relationships; but more so that they often *can't* marry their able-bodied partner without losing health insurance.
7:40 so funny story, this is the exact situation my Aunt was in when she married my Uncle. Granted she isn't gay but they had separated and my Uncle was a Policeman but after getting cancer he remarried my Aunt so she would get his benefits after he did since they were still on good terms
Amanda has a great announcer voice.
My current partner is a marine and very pro-military. I am very much anti military and normally avoid anyone with a military background. However, I did make an exception for my partner due to him having invested in extensive therapy and actually being a decent human being. But that still doesn't change my opinion on the military in general, and he knows this. It's not an easy topic for us but, at our core, we still respect each other.
This story is stupid because it insinuates respect is not a requirement in a working relationship.
Remember kids, if it doesn't have MUTUAL respect, it's not healthy.
Wolverine is just the touch that dining room needs. He really brightens up the place.
I do actually enjoy enemies with different beliefs to lovers when done well, but there are two caveats to that: A. That works best as a slowburn with lots of character development to explain how they reach a compromise or how one side gives up their atrocious beliefs.... and B.) I find it more enjoyable when it's grounded in a fantasy setting and not our real-world belief systems. Example: watching a monster and a monster hunter fall in love.
Enemies to lovers is usually kind of metaphorical, relying on heightened drama to create something relatable rather than entirely relatable situations, so grounding it TOO MUCH in real-world politics can kill the buzz.
Kitchen food wallpaper!!! The painting of pies is oddly comforting! I do like the Wolverine though!
Amanda knows what her fans want and she delivers 👏
"If this released in 2002, 2003...~ that was 10 years ago!"

With a partly torn tendent in my ankle, which I'm sure wouldn't be as painful as those wounds, and I can't go more than a few steeps with my boot before almost almost on the ground in pain.

Now you need to do Netflix' Love in the Villa... I certainly couldn't go from the horrible things they do to one another to happily dating someone who'd done those things.
I actually really enjoyed that one lmao, but yeah they both go way too far more than once
Hahaha still better than Purple Hearts, but that one was just as ridiculous.
Agreed. Also it kind of reminded me of Letters to Juliet at the beginning (which is better imho)
That movie was good 😊 though. He did acknowledge his bad behavior and she called him out on it. 🤣🤣It’s not a 365 DNI / Days or After franchise type of bad.
I work nightshifts and one night a coworker made me watch this entire movie because she loved it (yheap, she was watching it for the second time). She cried and singed through out the whole thing. And I was just jiggling inside, thinking what the hell is this?! It let me emotionally scarred, for the wrong reasons. And finally, I saw Amanda's thumbnail, and oh lord, this was perfect. I laughed out loud, pointing my finger like that Leo DiCaprio meme. Nice one Amanda, one of your finest works.
For anyone who wants to see a true "opposites to lovers" movie, I recommend A Walk to Remember.
Yes, thank you. Or, for a good enemies to lovers book, The Cruel Prince. It isn’t a good enemies to lovers story if there’s no character growth.
@@RB-vo4gi "The Cruel Prince" is how you do a enemies to lover!!
Semantic Error is the only enemies to lovers trope I actually like.
Most of the time this, trope is coupled with bad writing and horrendous acting.
If the military cared that much about love and marriage, there’d be a hell of a lot less SA 😬
Im an ex military wife (here in Australia). I'm now in therapy trying to deal with the trauma... Not from what you'd expect though, unless you expected that he treated me like absolute sh*t and used the systems within the army to his advantage to hurt me when i tried to leave.
Anyway. This movie sucks.
Oof yikes. Glad you got out. Sending love❤❤❤❤
I honestly don't get the whole ''sham marriage'' premise here, or when it was for the green card in The Proposal. Correct me if I'm wrong, but two consenting adults can get into marriage for ANY REASON they want, right? Why do they have to pretend they are in love to get benefits? Since when it ''love'' a legal pre-requisite of getting into marriage? The only downfall of such arrangement would be the impossibility to marry someone else, even if they fall in love. But again, it's their choice.
The green card stuff is accurate, coming from a second gen immigrant. The gov is very invested in making citizenship as difficult and costly as possible. Source: immigration laws in general and how they're enforced
Not marrying in the US, but universally green card marriages are definitely scrutinized. And depending on the country it can be treated pretty harsh, with officials being sent to the country just to confirm the reliability of documents. Countries don't want to give away citizenship and make it difficult to go through it. In the country I currently live in (Germany) it can be pretty hard so there's a joke about everyone going to Denmark even to just wed, because they take forever to give marriage licenses to internationality couples. In the US, I know a couple who during their interviews it was revealed he didn't love her and he decided he wanted to just go back home. But the interview process can be very tedious.
The green card one makes sense. My parents had to do that cause my mom wasn’t a us citizen at the time so they had to prove they weren’t getting married just so she could stay after her student visa had expired. I know people who have had green card marriages and had to prove that they knew the other person prior. This military one makes no sense because they are both US citizens and consenting adults. This would never happen in real life.
Military spouse here - he gets more pay when deployed. Also adding a spouse you get increased bah or housing allowance, the spouse gets Tricare which whole not perfect is comprehensive healthcare, also those in the dorms are able to move off base. I know for our branch they no longer do those dependent IDs but instead give us chipped cards now. Additionally many don't wait to get married till after deployment because there are programs for spouses to get support at home and I'm the worst case they spouse would get support. Many do court house before deployment and then big wedding after. Also some get married to other military members to just get out of the dorm.
Bridgerton did enemies to lovers pretty much perfectly in Season 2 with Kate and Anthony. This wasn't necessary.
I didn’t know I needed to listen to a fellow Canadian snark at the US military but yes and thank you
They got married legally. They didn't fake the wedding / documents /etc., only the feelings. Why the hell did they think they would go to jail? For feelings? Is it some Brave New World thing in the US? :D
So fun fact. I grew up in the town where this movie was filmed. I recognized so much just from the clips that were shown here. That was trippy.
I swear, movies like this always give the unlikable love interest at least one somewhat likable trait, like playing with kids, in hopes it somehow undoes their flaws. It’s super annoying! One good thing doesn’t negate a whole list of red flags!
BRING BACK THE KITCHEN FOOD ITEM WALLPAPER WOOOOOOOO😂😂
also i’ve been WAITING on this video😭
love how everyone collectively hated purple hearts and made videos about it on the internet
The fact that Americans still believe the Iraqi war was a good thing and are proud of it absolutely baffles me.
As someone from the US the way it is portrayed is absolutely disgusting and I hate the US military so much
I love staring at the food wallpaper background.... its hypnotizing... where does it start... where does it end o_O
After this video I looked up insulin prices in the US and DEAR GOD ALMOST 100 DOLLARS??
Here in Brazil if you don't get it for free on the healthcare system is 6-10 dollars a vial. Man, the US really hates it's people.
This is so fucking weird. I just got out of a blisteringly fast “romance” with a military guy. At first I thought he was super cool - we got along, he made me feel safe and I thought it could work. I decided not even two days later that he was condescending, misogynistic, and had severe boundary issues(as well as some other things). This is an eerie recommendation.
@Beastbombshell I mean college is wild
I prefer the hutch background. It's like I'm living in Canada again. All you need is a Chesterfield!
2002 was 20 years ago, Amanda 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yes.... I know. Kingdom hearts was 20 years ago....
you should really do a video on NOPE. I watched it a few days ago and it blew me away. seems right up your alley
I've always hated when people treat political differences as fun little quirks rather than your core moral beliefs. "oh, I can't believe you'd cut off a family member over differences in -your core moral beliefs- politics!" "we may have some differences in -core moral beliefs- politics, but he's just such a good friend." The only people who treat political differences as trivial are people who will never be truly affected by politics.
There is not only one "core moral belief" in the world. Their are several.
@@sibanipanigrahy5509 I never implied politics were all that matters. Only that they're important.
I recently watched a classic teen romance film “American pie” and I realized that they don’t make them like they used to
Everything's better with decorative Wolverine. The situation for diabetics here in the US is so much worse than just the insulin, I am very sympathetic to this woman's escalting crisis arc. The test strip market and even the needles are all jacked up for the uninsured. The bills for the inevitable extra health complications diabetics suffer as they age are also financially crippling.
Anecdote from the ground here here in the suburbs of Baltimore, where the crime drama comes from. There's a black market for diabetic supplies operating right in the open, and as far as I know that's typical for much of the country. Signs on the road advertise "sell your extra diabetic test strips, call XXX". Even insured people usually struggle just to cover the "co-pay" amount they owe on the retail price gouging. So they get by with less testing than ideal, sell the leftovers for pennies on the dollar to help with the co-pays, and the middlemen can still make a profit selling the strips discounted from full retail prices. Real American Dream market.
I'm still laughing that she went from broke to performing at the Hollywood Bowl in the matter of what 12 months? In what reality is this???
4:03 sorry to be the bearer of bad news, 2003 wasn't 10 years ago...
Not Amanda thinking 2002 is 10 years ago 😂
Been in the Navy for 9 years and some change. I can tell you that the most unrealistic thing about this movie is that they managed to get the admin/paperwork surrounding the marriage squared away in a single day 😂
Normally that shit would take several weeks/months, and I've even seen marriage admin problems stick around for a year.
As a type-1 diabetic, I've never hated a movie more. This is personal.
Why is it fraud if they got married? What is the crime? Not liking ur spouse?
“Would have felt right back at home in 2002 or 2003… but that was ten years ago!” I’m glad I’m not the only one unable to truly register that the 2010s were a decade ago.
Gotta say, the fine dining set background feels more welcoming than just the wall. I think this setting is better.
the fact that the military changed the script in exchange of allowing them to film on a base makes so much sense
I’m sorry but this movie and that choosing love quote was the worst thing to come from Sofia Carson…and she was in Descendants.
"Great health insurance" I don't think so 😅
I’m from a city where there is a lot military influence. I can tell you, sadly this is how a lot of military guys act.
Kitchen wall paper adds a certain cachet. Fellow herring choker here now living in NS.
BELLA AND ROSALIE HAHAHAH
I love u for this!!
“I should write one of these - for the culture.”
You joke… but I’d be down lol
In Iraq - in ANY YEAR you should have said.
Okay so maybe I missed something, but if he was deployed into an active warzone why is he calling from a military base in Landstuhl, Germany (at around 16:00)?
“2002, 2003 was ten years ago” my girl it was 20 years ago 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shhh the 80s were 20 years ago.
Amanda just uploaded.
Me - drops everything and starts watching 💜
The singing was also so hard to endure for me...
This would be like if Michael Bay directed a Romantic Dra- **remembers the Pearl Harbor Movie** oh...
"This would've been good in 2002...10 years ago" *squints at 2022 calender*
Hopefully no part 2. Honestly they should of done a TV series instead of a movie. They could have flushed out the characters and worked on the development between the two but nah. Get two attractive people with no romance vibes to overcome political differences.
"2002 was 10 years ago" Oh no, Amanda. That was *20* years ago, we're old, lmao.
You said 2002 was 10 years go and I totally feel that lol it was sadly 20 years AAAHHHHH
I honestly would like Amanda to write a book
Her cover of sweet caroline made my british heart scruch up in cringe and anger
I'm just waiting for the don't worry darling video. You know... the movie that feels like a movie
omg i love the kennie mention. i love kennie!! also amanda where are you... the background is so surprising and i feel out of place lol
The only question I have is this: Why does Amanda think the current year is 2012/2013? (time code 3:56 )
For some reason a tone of the HET enemies to lovers stuff is liberal girl x conservative guy. And it either end with them just ignoring the politics that their entire characters are based on or the girl deciding maybe she is too far left.
The hair tucked into the sweater is grudgingly forgivable. But it happened again with a jacket. ~17:25 ~ UNACCEPTABLE!
i low key love the kitchen set more with the kitschy food wallpaper
My fiancee is in a local band and yes local bands do actually get written up and open for touring bands and/ or festivals. Our friends have been on stage at festivals like Inkcarceration.
I have diabetes. And i rushed into marrying my ex husband bc hes in the army.
I had a high risk pregnancy and our baby was in the nicu. That costed us nothing.
Diabetes equipment costs thousands a month. And you need supplies monthly
Out of pocket:
Omni pods are 5k every month.
Insulin is 300 a month.
Dexcom is 400 a month.
Theres also regular maintenance you need like eye care. Endocrinologist. Blood work.
And while married all of that costed nothing. Thats life changing
16:16 Dude! That's Linden Ashby! Johnny Cage from Mortal Kombat!!!
I love this review. I love your reviews. They make my life so much more interesting so that even my cold little corporate heart feels some fun.
From my Time in the service, I can tell you there was never any cases about marriage fraud. People did that shit all the time.
Hell I had battles "Marry" a good friend for the extra pay, and they just send them money every month.
Hell, people get fake married tonmove out the barracks. This movie is wack.
Also Arab... Come on, anyone that served know we called them Hadji.
The kitchen wallpaper is 🔥
