South Africa (16 May 2025)<\/em> – Welcome to The Friday Five, my absolute favourite weekly ritual here at Good Things Guy. Think of it as a little virtual catch-up between us, where I get to share the best things I\u2019ve watched, read, listened to, eaten and experienced\u2026 so that you don\u2019t have to scroll aimlessly trying to find something decent.<\/p>\n Every week, I sift through the noise, the Netflix trailers, the playlist drops and the pop-up event invites to bring you five (okay, sometimes more) handpicked recommendations that are good for the soul. And sometimes, just really, really fun.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a space where I get to give you my honest thoughts. You see, I get invited to movie premieres before they even hit your screens. I get early access to new series and I sometimes get to eat food before it’s even officially on a menu (a perk I take very seriously).<\/p>\n So, every Friday, I round up my absolute favourites… the stuff I think you\u2019ll love too.<\/p>\n This movie. This movie! Vince Vaughn leads a heartfelt, hilarious and honestly goosebump-inducing cast as the founder of a restaurant run entirely by real-life Italian grandmothers. The film is inspired by Jody \u201cJoe\u201d Scaravella\u2019s true story, a man who took grief, love and garlic and turned it into something deeply nourishing for the soul.<\/p>\n It\u2019s everything you want in a romantic comedy and more… touching without being cheesy, funny without trying too hard and completely grounded in something real.<\/p>\n Also, Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Brenda Vaccaro and Talia Shire? That\u2019s a power table I\u2019d love to sit at.<\/p>\n Two hours well spent. Just don\u2019t watch it hungry. You\u2019ve been warned.<\/p>\n Now available on Netflix.<\/p>\n\ud83c\udfac Movies you NEED to watch!<\/h3>\n
