Don't be afraid of different
To all the naysayers who took time to try to criticize this movie, I say "Guess what? There are really people like this in the world." Not everyone is the cookie cutter typical rom-com character, action hero or sci-fi alien that Hollywood churns out by the truckload. Do I relate to them? No, not particularly, but do I know some people like these characters in real life? Yes, we all do. Are these characters a bit over the top? Yes, but guess what, it's a comedy and like any good movie or book they are going to be caricature's of real people. And it refreshing to watch a movie that showcases an off beat type of person once in a while. So, sit back, enjoy the slightly absurd take on the situation, laugh at their bizarre approach to life and get a glimpse into the way some people choose to live their lives.
All that said, the movie succeeds mostly due to the excellent direction, clean editing, good script and solid acting.
The blend of off beat humor and the real life personal drama that everyone experience in really is very well balanced. I look forward to more movies like this and less of the CGI blockbusters and silly horror movies that have become cliche. - lusjack - 14 May 2024
Absolutely Hilarious.....
Comedies like these have been missing from the movie screens over the last few years. This one is side splittingly funny. Absolutely hilarious from start to finish. A couple over the top scenes, but still well done. There are some extremely funny lines in this. Spoiler alert: My favorite line is when she thanks the plumber for his service. My brother and I caught it as a Mystery Movie Night...and we both loved it. I knew the film was coming out, and was happy it was the feature. Yep, some of humor is about poop, but wow it's very funny. Give it a shot, and go in with an open mind. You won't be disappointed.
