Friday night movie, Saturday morning review!*
Last night’s movie was In a World…. “An underachieving voice coach finds herself competing in the movie trailer voice-over profession against her arrogant father and his protégé.” (from IMDb.com)
I have thought about trying to record audiobooks. I’m not sure I’d be good at it, but hey, I’ve read thousands of books to my students and my kids over the years. When I heard about this movie, I really wanted to see it. In a World… is all about the voice-over world, and how difficult it is for a woman to find her voice in a male dominated field.
I really enjoyed this movie! I thought the characters were cute and quirky, and the plot moved along nicely. The dialogue had a very quick pace with pop references and reminded me of the TV show Gilmore Girls. It was about 90 minutes long, so it kept Ed’s attention. He thought that this movie was definitely a chick flick. I didn’t think so, but he’s probably right.
In a World… 4 out of 5 lemon drops
*Reviews are based on my eclectic taste and are probably old movies recently seen on Netflix or from Redbox since I don’t get out much.
I never saw this movie, but now you I want to check it out. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!! 😉

It really is a quirky yet good movie! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I like Lake Bell who is in this movie. I will have to watch it on Netflix. Thanks for your review!

Lake Bell was awesome! I don’t think I’ve seen her in anything else.
I liked that movie! It drew me in and I wanted to see it through to the end. (usually I fall asleep before finishing a movie)

I’m glad I finally saw it! We don’t watch that many movies that aren’t kid friendly around here. 😉
Definitely a chick flick, but the story is much more interesting than most. The characters were really well developed, not generic one dimensional characters like you see in most movies. Plus…it made me laugh! Ed
