Blowing Up Right Now movie review.

In some relationships, couples loose their spark after a while and fall out of love. Especially in this social media age where people post their so called "perfect life" on social media and make others feel pressured to follow in their footsteps. But honestly, those who portray a happy or perfect life on the internet  are usually the ones that are suffering and unhappy in reality.

        Blowing Up Right Now is about a couple Shep (Danny Jolles) and Mandy (Sujata Day). They are about to celebrate  5 years of their relationship but they have fallen out of love with each other. Prior to this, they made their relationship look so happy and perfect to their friends . They made up lies and they took a lot of photos so they they can pick and post the best one online. Mandy finally summons enough courage to break up with Shep after they realized that they both wanted different things in life. As soon as she breaks up with him they get an alert on their phones that a Ballastic Missile was bound for their city Los Angeles.  Together they make the best of their last day on earth.

      This movie was inspired by what happend in Hawaii on January 13th 2018 when they got a false alarm that a ballistic missile was heading there. The two main characters gave great performances and there are a lot of funny scenes in this movie.
Overall, the moral of this movie is that we should avoid living fake lives and we should always be honest with our friends and partners.  If Mandy and Shep had tried to make themselves happy and not try to please their followers, they would have had a happy relationship.

It also shows hiw diverse Puerto Ricans can be both in skin color and the language they speak. This movie is a realistic example of how life after Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico was.
