Searching: suspenseful and entertaining.

Tanya’s Score: Good*

Rated: PG

Starring: Harold and Grace Adler

Plot: When a California man’s (John Cho) teen daughter goes missing, he realizes how little he truly knows her.

Tanya’s Verdict: This movie was a suspenseful and entertaining mystery enjoyed by adults and children alike. The plot of Searching unfolds entirely through screens – the audience watches face time calls, youtube videos, social media venues and news casts – making us feel like voyeurs with a front seat view of the spectacle. Call it a gimmick – but for whatever reason, it works. All in all, I enjoyed this movie – as did my girls.
