The Gomer is the award for the biggest pleasant surprise in the movie world. It is a movie that I did not expect to like or anticipated disliking it, only to have a great time with it. As Gomer Pyle would say “Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!”

The Gomer for the Biggest Surprise

Previous Gomer Award Winners:  The Gift, Ferdinand, Edge of Tomorrow, We’re the Millers, The Campaign, Ouija: Origin of Evil, Bumblebee, Crawl, Greenland, Free Guy, Deadstream, Totally Killer, Transformers One

The surprises this year includes the following films: Final Destination: Bloodlines, Strange Harvest, Good Fortune, Dangerous Animals.

The runner up was this film, that I nearly gave this award: K-Pop Demon Hunters. This film certainly was a surprise. I had no belief that this was a movie that I would like, but it was awesome. However, the actual Gomer winner is a film that is in the top five of the year for me.

Gomer Award for Biggest Surprise …

Sketch

I thought this was just going to be a fun little flick with kids and monsters. It turned out to be a five star film that has a definite chance to finish in the top 5 of my movies of 2025. That is a surprise.

Sketch is so emotional, funny, exciting and fun. Everything that you could want from a film is in Sketch. And I did not see it coming.

How wonderful!
