Overview
13-year-old Nate Foster has big Broadway dreams but there’s only one problem — he can’t even land a part in the school play. When his parents leave town, Nate and his best friend Libby sneak off to the Big Apple for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to prove everyone wrong. A chance encounter with Nate’s long-lost Aunt Heidi turns his journey upside-down, and together they must learn that life’s greatest adventures are only as big as your dreams.

This has one really fantastic musical number in it, the rest of the film ranges from “alright” to “pretty good”. Kinda felt like it didn’t live up to its cinematic potential in a lot of its technical areas but the performances and direction are solid! Mostly left me a bit disappointed that we didn’t get something that much better, because there’s lots to like here.

#FilmReview #BetterNateThanEver #DisneyPlus Recently released on Disney+, "Better Nate Than Ever" is a delightful watch filled with fun moments and plenty of laughter. It was a treat to see Lisa Kudrow, known for her role as Phoebe in the TV show Friends, back on screen. Her comedic timing and mannerisms are as charming as ever, making her a joy to watch in any role. The movie follows a child's dream of making it to Broadway despite facing rejection and feeling isolated. It beautifully portrays the message that perfection is not a prerequisite for success; hard work and determination are what truly matter. While the film is packed with classic Disney moments, there is a particularly emotional scene involving a young man and his brother portrayed by Joshua Bassett that tugs at the heartstrings. "Better Nate Than Ever" is a heartwarming family film that is both entertaining and touching.
