If you have Netflix and you’re looking for something to watch this holiday weekend, then I recommend The Incredible Jessica James starring Jessica Williams. I LOVED this movie! And take note that I’m not an all caps type of person.
Williams is known mostly for her role as senior correspondent on The Daily Show. I think she’s awesome. She’s funny, smart, sarcastic — black girl magic. And as she describes herself in the film, a cocoa queen.
The Incredible Jessica James is another movie that I wished existed when I was in my twenties. But I’m perfectly happy to have it now.
Overall the film is fun and lighthearted. Something to take your mind away from all the bad news in the world for an hour and a half.
The character Jessica is a quirky young woman trying to find her place in the world and get over her ex-boyfriend. Also, she is a teacher and the scenes with her students are absolutely adorable.
What else? The film is sexy, romantic, sweet and inspiring. After having watched the movie, I was left wanting way more and hope that this movie can turn into an ongoing series. I want to see what happens next! You probably will too.
