A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life with his days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. But when his home world faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctant Wolverine.
In 2018, Wade Wilson uses Cable's time-traveling device to travel from his time line, Earth-10005, to Earth-616, the "Sacred Timeline", where he meets Happy Hogan and requests to join the Avengers, but he is refused. Six years later, Wade has retired from being the masked mercenary known as Deadpool and began to work as a used car salesman after breaking up with his girlfriend Vanessa Carlysle. During his birthday party, the Time Variance Authority (TVA) captures Wade and brings him to Mr. Paradox, who offers him a place on Earth-616. However, Paradox also reveals that Wade's time line is deteriorating as a result of the death of James "Logan" Howlett, who is revealed to be the time line's "anchor being." Wade steals Paradox's TemPad to travel the multiverse and find a variant of Logan to save his time line.

Review by Heather Garcia
I went and saw this movie the weekend it came out with my friend. This movie was amazing, and I can’t wait to watch it again. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should go see it in theaters while it’s still there. I don’t want to give any spoilers if you haven’t seen it yet, but I will tell you that it has more dance scenes in it this time.

After graduating from Montclair State, New Jersey Girl Annie can't make up her mind about what to do with her life. After saving a little boy from being run over in the park, she is quickly employed as a nanny for a rich Upper East Side couple. Mr X is occupied with his business, Mrs X loves shopping, and neither really likes to spend time with their little boy Grayer. Annie quickly learns that she has more than her hands full taking care of him. Her busy schedule doesn't give her much spare time.

Twenty-one-year-old Annie Braddock has just graduated from Montclair State University. She has no idea what or who she wants to be. One day, while sitting in the park, Annie sees a young boy (Nicholas Art) about to be hit by a vehicle. Annie saves him and meets the boy's mother, who we meet as Mrs. X (Laura Linney). When she introduces herself as "Annie", Mrs. X mistakes her words for "Nanny" and hires her to look after Grayer, the boy she saved. Annie lies to her mother Judy (Donna Murphy) about taking a job at a bank and, in reality, moves into the Xs' apartment to be the nanny for Grayer.

I picked this movie from amazon prime to watch because I was recovering from COVID and wanted something to make me laugh. I enjoyed watching this movie and did not want it to end.
