Alien at the Movies

A working class girl (Emilia Clarke) desperately in need of employment is hired to care for a wealthy family's paraplegic son (Sam Claflin) in this terrific romantic comedy. True to its genre, two opposites meet & don't get along but over time they become attracted to each other. Clarke is fabulous as the endearing chatty girl with small dreams of a simple life & a colorful fashion sense. Her world changes when she focuses on helping a broken man who is bitter about the cards life has dealt him & wishes to end his pain & suffering. This tearjerker about two individuals trapped in their situations is an emotional roller coaster as the film seeks an escape solution for both of them.

Alien gives it 3 "black & yellow striped tights" stars out of 4.
