Movie: My Place or Mine
By: Cece Hymes
Got a chance to watch this movie on Netflix. It was about Debbie and Peter, they hooked up 20 years ago one time. Peter told Debbie he wasn’t ready for a relationship. So, they become best friends. Peter had moved away to New York While Debbie was in LA. Within the 20 years Debbie has a son and is married she gets a divorce but her life is based around her son.
Debbie has to go away to take a final in New York her babysitter cancels on her so Peter decides to come and babysit her son for a week. They swap houses and lives for one week. They discover what they think they want but might not be what they really need.
My motto is always your best friend is your soulmate. So many people are scared to take that jump because they think it will mess up their friendship, some people settle in relationships not happy just because they have kids together. Can you imagine having a best friend that’s the opposite sex that you can communicate about everything and also be different from one another. It takes that balance.
We as people ignore the signs and spend our lives looking for happiness when it is right under our nose. I enjoyed this movie, it showed what true friends are like and taking chances. It also showed that when you have great people in your life don’t let them go. Nothing beats a failure but to try new things out to see what makes you happy. It also tells you to be honest with yourself and speak up. Things could be so different in life if you wouldn’t hold out on things.
Debbie and Peter needed that week to live each other’s life so that they could push each other for greatness. Peter helped out with showing her son a new life and new things and Debbie pushed Peter’s book that he always wanted to get published but never pushed it.
Great movie on Netflix if you watched it let me know what you think. If you haven’t, check it out.
