Ratings and reviews

Look, this movie wasn't great but considering it was released during quarantine and the fact I overhyped myself off the interviews? I applaud the cast, director and film crew for their efforts as there were some scenes that took me by surprise and had me laughing along side my mother and this is all that matters to me honestly. Thanks for the much needed laughs during this crazy pandemic and hellish Quarantine 🙂

Starts off funny and has you empathizing for the main character but ended up hating her by the end as the story just became less funny and more dark in ways that kind of seemed non-nonsensical and out of place, but perhaps that's the point? I guess I went in to the movie expecting some kind of Guy Ritchie SNATCH random mishaps lining up to one fun grand conclusion kind of thing, this movie isn't that. I didn't like how it ended but I was surprised by it, so there's that I guess. I personally wouldn't recommend paying full price for this. If you like movies with unsatisfying endings, maybe this movie will do it for you.

Funny, smart, dark and convoluted. Think Fargo without the snow. An acquired taste. Not exactly everyone's cup of tea.
