This has been a bad year for big budget movies, so movie reviewers are recommending movies that were overlooked.  That’s how I ended up with Roofman.

It’s based on a true story about a guy who couldn’t get on track after leaving the Army.   He started robbing fast food restaurants by cutting a holes through the roofs.  When the cops were after him, he spent several months living inside a Toys ‘R’ Us store.

Early on in the movie, one aspect of the story was too incredible to suspend disbelief.

We are supposed to  believe that Channing Tatum married this woman, had three kids with her, and she divorced him because he didn’t have a successful career.

Now come on.  That’s just not plausible.

It’s all relative, but the best she could rate is maybe a 7 if she crewed a Navy ship where it’s 40 guys for every gal.  She is an Ohio 4, and a Hollywood 1 or 2.

My friend Canadian Dave would call her a ditch pig.

This actress only gets work because Hollywood has been on a self-destructive path of casting hard looking ethnic women in roles that were previously filled by attractive white women.

Here’s proof.  Her longest acting job was in the 2018 reboot of the Charmed TV series.  Hollywood was so committed to their anti-attractive campaign, this low rated TV show ran for four seasons.  (IMDB Rating:  4.8)

Here are the three witches:

The original Charmed TV show from 1998, has an IMDB rating of 7.2, with the three witches looking like this.

Everybody wants sexy witches. 

Fortunately, the ex-wife is a small part of the story, and mostly absent after the plot gets rolling.

Once Channing Tatum gets started on his good-natured crime spree, he starts dating Kirsten Dunst.  She is much more compatible.

Roofman has an IMDB rating of 7.0, and that’s about right.  It’s not a memorable movie, but it is entertaining enough.
