Watched a movie yesterday - Issy and Ozzy
Yesterday, my sister came back from a friend's house to join the lockdown with family at home. Well, as many of you are doing, we decided to watch a movie on Netflix. In fact, we are doing that almost every day and we take turns choosing the movie. Yesterday was my sister's turn and while she was choosing the movie, my mother and I were discussing, or rather, guessing what kind of movie she would choose, I told my mother that she was more likely to choose an action movie or even a thriller. However, my mother thought that my sister would choose some horror(?) movie. Finally she made her choice and it was "Issy and Ozzy". According to the thumbnail on Netflix it looked like a romantic movie, which I disliked in the first place and since it was her day to choose the movie, i couldn't complain, so I just frowned (put my eyebrows together to show anger or disagreement... i know there's a word for that). The movie started and turned out to be funny after all. Without spoilers, the plot is about a very wealthy girl named Issy whose parents won't stop controlling her because all her life they told her how to act, how to behave and, of course, how to be and what to do in every situation that she was in. This backfires on her parents since she grows up wanting to piss them off, misbehaving at important dinners and being attracted to all the stuff her parents didn't like. The opposite to Issy, there's this boy called Ozzy, whose mother's wealthiness is $27.06. His mother raised him all alone, his grandfather went to jail for shooting a foreigner dead. As he grew up so did his anger towards the world and the situation that he was born into. Because of his anger issues, his mother signed him up to a boxing academy/gym and it helped him to develop good boxing skills.
Well, these two guys end up meeting by chance at a fast food burger restaurant in a moment that both needed something from the other. Issy's parents had cut her money/income until she gave up the idea of becoming a chef by signing up to a cooking course run by a famous chef in New York city. And Ozzy needed 8 thousand bucks to be able to fight a match whose winner was gonna be given the chance of promotion to a professional league. Izzy proposes a deal to him, that he will pretend to be her boyfriend, which would guarantee upsetting her parents, and she would pay him the money that he needed for the fight.
This being said, I wasn't wrong about the film being a romantic one, but to my surprise, it was really hilarious.
