FAMILY HISTORY (2019)

Image
( source ) Written and Directed by MICHAEL V When plans for the day did not come to fruition, dad, mom, and I decided to watch a movie instead.  We've seen most of the blockbusters, and the others were Horror Flicks(not really our cups of tea, with some exceptions, of course) so we were left with no choice  but to watch FAMILY HISTORY.

I guess I shouldn't "worry" about her then. ;-) The Movies I did get to see I watched this movie four times. Laugh trip!  Although there were unnecessary comments, I overlooked them because there were many, many times that the audience laughed...as in roared with laughter...they even clapped and loved every moment of it. Kudos to the cast and crew! Eugene, you deserve to have ...
