There is a legend of a movie. A movie with a twist so ludicrous, I dare not speak of it, lest you scoff yourself right off of this website, never to return. It is called Wild Mountain Thyme. It is coming to Hulu on April 25, and you should definitely try to watch it without knowing the ending first. Because it is really, really, really dumb. (Do you know the twist in Serenity, the one with Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway? It’s dumber than that.)
It might seem like a movie you’d want to watch anyway: It’s written and directed by John Patrick Shanley, the Oscar-winning writer of Moonstruck and the writer/director of the ‘80s cult rom-com classic Joe vs. the Volcano. It stars a whole bunch of pretty and well-respected people, like Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan and Jon Hamm. It takes place in the gorgeous hinterlands of Ireland, and is filled with all the nature you can take.
And while these are all good reasons to watch a movie, they are not the reason you should watch this one. The twist is the reason. The goofy, goofy twist, which the trailer doesn’t even begin to hint at.
Anyway, there are also other, marginally (or significantly) less dumb things coming to Hulu this month, from a diverting-looking Jane Austen update comedy called Modern Persuasion (April 16), to a poorly reviewed pandemic-set action flick (Songbird, April 16) to a new season of The Handmaid’s Tale (April 28). Here’s everything else coming to (and leaving) the streaming service in April 2021.
