Oh, Hi! (2025)

Jack and I enjoyed this quirky dark comedy and not only because we're fans of its star Molly Gordon. It starts with a couple on the road to a romantic getaway and soon (the plot) makes a sharp left turn. Logan Lerman is her seemingly ideal boyfriend, Geraldine Viswanathan is her best friend, and David Cross a funny weird neighbor. Polly Draper has a cameo as Gordon's mom.

This is director/writer Sophie Brooks' second feature. Steven Price's original score can be streamed on Apple Music and elsewhere, and there's a long list of songs by others.

Gordon (best known for fifteen episodes of The Bear) was last blogged for Theater Camp, Lerman for Shirley, Viswanathan for Drive-Away Dolls, Cross for You Hurt My Feelings, Draper (85 episodes of thirtysomething) for Shiva Baby (Gordon was in that with her), Brooks for The Boy Downstairs, and Price for Dolphin Reef and Diving with Dolphins.

Rotten Tomatoes' critics and audiences are not greeting this warmly, averaging 63 and 66% respectively. We rented it on August 26.

Milestone alert! I forgot to mention with the last post that I have now written about 1600 movies on babetteflix in the seventeen years I've been blogging! I have an alphabetical index and just linked the blog to a free substack but, as a newbie, I have much to learn about that site/application.
