Spoiler Alert is based on Michael Ausiello’s best-selling memoir, “Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies,” . It tells the story of how Michael and Kit’s relationship is transformed and deepened when Michael falls ill.
Starring The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parson as Michael, Ben Aldridge as Kit, the legend that is Sally Field as Kit’s Mum, and there’s even a cameo from Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski, Spoiler Alert is a beautiful film. It is advertised as a romcom but I wouldn’t put it in that category. It’s a gorgeous love story – the love between Michael and Kit and the love between them and Kit’s parents – warts and all.
The clue, as to whether or not there is going to be a happy ending in this film, is in the title, but watching this, I really did hope that Kit would get better and he and Michael would live happily ever after. I shouldn’t have been shocked when Kit did die, but I was and I was a blubbering mess.
Please do not let the sad ending stop you watching this film because it wasn’t all tears, there were many laughs, heartfelt moments, and even frustrations. It is such a gorgeous film that is available to rent on Apple TV now.
Hi,
I’m Sarina Bellissimo and this is the place I come to indulge in my love of all things entertainment. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t fascinated by all things Hollywood/showbiz. I blame my parents!
As a child my mum used to force me to watch old Elvis Presley films with her, and both my mum & dad would take my brothers and I to the Drive-In to watch the latest films (this is where my love for ROCKY began!). When not watching movies, I was trying to figure out ways to pull the back off the TV so I could somehow get into it and be a part of all the action on the screen!
This blog isn’t a place that revels in gossip and negativity. It’s a place where entertainment is celebrated. That said, this is a place you can turn to for honesty. Honesty and criticism don’t always mean attacks. I choose to criticise the piece of work but not the person and I acknowledge that just because I don’t like something, it doesn’t mean someone else won’t.
Here you’ll find interviews with some of the biggest names in the world of Entertainment, reviews, breaking news and my very own musings.
