An absolute RIDE

Wow.

The film started with a shot of a roaring fire and I was like, "Okay, this is nice but where's the joke?" But then, suddenly, one of the logs pops out of the fireplace and starts running around the room, and I was like, "Whoa, what just happened?"

Turns out, the logs were actually sentient beings and were tired of just being burned all the time, so they decided to take matters into their own hands. It was like a comedy of errors as they stumbled around the room, trying to avoid being caught and burned again.

The climax of the film was a full-blown log chase, with logs jumping over furniture, dodging sparks and embers, and even playing pranks on each other. It was the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen, but I couldn't stop laughing.

In short, if you're looking for a movie that will have you in stitches, look no further than this crackling fireplace film. It's like nothing you've ever seen before and is guaranteed to be a blazing good time!

See title. No rising action, no suspense, only flame and destruction.

After seeing the original production of A Fireplace at my aunt's house, I was looking forward to the screen production. The director doesn't disappoint. This is a nice, smooth fire that will bring you back to your days of youth, when someone would click the switch and viola, you have a nice fire going.

There are a couple faults that I have with the movie. One is is that the screenwriter took some liberties with the original plot that veers from the stage production. The biggest fault I find is that the story jumps right into the action without showing the lead character's earlier life that explains how he landed in the present situation. This makes the character seem a bit one dimensional. That said, it is still an enjoyable movie that can put your mind at ease after all is said and done.
