- Hey Naturally Curly World, I'm Nikki,
and welcome to another episode of Watch and Go,
the series where we review things
while we do our wash and go.
For the next few Watch and Go's
for the month of August and September,
you'll be seeing brands that are featured
in our Texture on the Runway show.
It's a hair and fashion show that's held in New York
during New York Fashion Week.
I'll also be styling my hair using
the Mielle Organics products,
using the moisturizing avocado hair milk,
the white peony leave-in conditioner- you've seen this
a lot, and the Mielle styling gel, honey and ginger,
I really do like the styling gel.
On this episode, I'll be reviewing
the movie The Incredible Jessica James.
(upbeat music)
- I didn't realize my feelings weren't as valid as yours.
- Jessica, I really like you.
- Of course you do, everybody does, I'm freaking dope.
- [Woman] What is your name?
- My hair is already pretty clean,
so I'm just gonna be styling my hair with this wash and go.
I am going to wet my hair so that I can work through it.
So I'm gonna wet this to get my wash and go texture back.
I'll be back.
Okay, so the Incredible Jessica James
stars Jessica Williams from The Daily Show
and from 2 Dope Queens.
It also stars Chris O'Dowd from Bridesmaids
and Lakeith Stanfield from Get Out.
And it's a story that you've heard before
and you've seen before, 'cause it's,
you know, nothing unique there.
It's about a girl who went through a break-up recently
and she's trying to, like, get back on her feet
and she's a playwright, she's an artist,
and she's been going on dates.
She meets a guy, he also went through
a really tough break-up.
The guy is Chris O'Dowd.
They like each other, a love story forms.
That's pretty much the entire movie.
The rest of it is Jessica Williams adding to the character.
Unlike other rom-coms, Jessica's sort of goofy.
The first, like, couple minutes of the movie,
she's, like, dancing around, there's this whole dance scene
that I don't know what's going on,
it's just, she's dancing for a smooth three minutes
in the intro of the movie.
And I'm just like, "Okay, what is this about?
Whatever, I'm gonna give it a chance 'cause I like her."
And I think the movie's great,
I just think it's about nothing.
I really enjoyed it, I just can't put into words why,
I think it was 'cause Jessica Williams
and Lakeith Stanfield.
The storyline wasn't anything that I hadn't seen before,
I hadn't seen on Hallmark.
It's a little better than Hallmark
'cause the characters are hipper
but it's the same old rom-com, break-up, meets a guy,
likes the new guy better than the old guy,
moves on with your life kind of thing.
I didn't laugh a whole lot in this movie,
I wasn't, like, dying from laughter.
I don't know, she's a comedian, I expected a little more.
I had a lot of high hopes 'cause of the actors.
And the actors are great, I love Chris O'Dowd,
I thought he was so cute and adorable,
he has this adorable little puggy face,
that makes you, like, wanna just, like,
squeeze his cheeks or whatever
and, you know, he was kind of the same character
that he was in Bridesmaids, you know,
he had this sort of, like, dopey adorableness to him.
So, I guess if you're coming to this thinking
it's gonna be a refreshing rom-com,
I don't know how refreshing it was.
I mean, I watched it, I liked it,
I'd probably watch it again if somebody was like,
"Hey, do you want to watch this movie?"
- [Evelyn] Would you?
- I would watch it again if, like,
that friends hadn't seen the movie and I had seen the movie
but, you know, I had time and I wasn't watching
anything else and they really convinced me
that they wanted me to see it, I would be like,
"Cool, I'll watch it again for you
and try not to ruin it, but, like."
It's kind of one of those movies where,
you know how you watch Hallmark movies,
and it's like Hallmark Christmas Specials,
where it's like a love story and you already
know how it's gonna end like two seconds into it beginning,
that's kind of how this was.
Acting-wise, you have these names, these well-known names,
like, people know who Jessica Williams is,
people know who Lakeith Stanfield is, and Chris O'Dowd,
like, you know who these people are,
and so you kind of expected there to be, like, great acting,
and the acting was, like, all right.
Again, like, she threw me off balance.
I don't know, sometimes she just wasn't convincing.
Like she seemed like she was kind of
bored being who she was.
I was like, "You created this character."
Lakeith Stanfield didn't have facial expressions,
so when he would talk to her, he'd be like,
"Oh, hey, I missed you.
It's nice to see you. You look like you're doing so well."
I'm like, "Are you just reading from the page?
Did they mean to put this in?"
I'm gonna put some of this hair milk in.
Y'all, I'm just layering products. I don't even know.
Now I'm gonna put this gel in,
this is one of my favorite gels.
At first I wasn't sure about it,
but when it dries, girl, yes.
The show was good but it was about nothing
and it also felt too long to be what it was, like,
I felt like y'all could have gave me
this entire thing in, like, half the time.
It could have been a short, a short story
instead of, like, a feature film.
I'm gonna go dry my hair and I'll be back with my rating.
Okay, so I'm gonna give this movie a three out of five
because I loved the actors, even though
I don't really feel like they showed up the entire time,
and I thought the movie was, like, sort of chill.
It wasn't forced upon me, it didn't give me stress
like Game of Thrones, so it was like an easy Saturday,
you know, evening movie to watch with your friends
and not feel pressured.
- [Evelyn] Why are you lying? "It was a great movie"?
- Wasn't a great movie, it was an okay movie.
It was one of those movies where you're like,
"I'm scrolling through Netflix for so long,
I might as well watch this one."
Thanks so much for watching,
please let me know what you think of the movie
and if you tried any of these Mielle products,
