Pretty Problems

Such a funny movie - walked into the theater grumpy AF and walked out smiling after belly laughing for almost two hours. The two female leads are the standouts - JJ Nolan is mesmerizing and a very hilarious/psycho and Britt Rentschler is like THE BEST wing woman and I want to hang with her in SIlverlake or a music festival immediately. Director Kestrin Pantera brings her indie film maven dominance to this film - with insane party scenes that create the perfect opportunity for these fab actors to really roll up their sleeves and get SUPER MESSY. Loved it. Great weekend hangover film FOR SURE. Highly Recommend!

I love a movie that relies on snappy dialogue and underlying relationship themes. I don't need big explosions or wild plot points to keep me engaged, so you may not agree with my take -- but watching humans do what humans do -- and dressing it up like a theme party (you know humans love a theme party) is what I'm here for. This is like your social media feed in real life, come to life on the screen -- the average joe gets beamed into these ridiculous lifestyles that are touted online. And I can see myself right in it. We hate "them"... and yet we want to be "them" -- this movie nailed it. The performances were excellent and I wish I saw more of these actors around, instead of the same faces. Simply put, this is a great hang. I laughed, and then I wanted to hug my partner after. Simple, delicious. It's not going to save the world, but it definitely gave me a great night at the movies. And it's one that I can see myself watching again for another great hang. Low key and easy, very fun.

I thought this movie was great. The dialogue is really funny. It's witty and current - the cacao scene was over the top! The plot has enough curiosities to keeps you engaged - its not a highbrow thriller, it provides just enough plot to give the characters something to do and move the show along.

The supporting characters are all ridiculous and entertaining. For an ensemble cast, there's still just enough focus on each character for them to stand on their own and not be forgettable.

Some pretty heavy hitters in this film - fulk designs, skywalker sound, etc.

It can be a touch cliche and tropey at times, and there are a few plot threads left unexplored, but I enjoyed it overall.

While this movie has a lot of heart, I laughed out loud through most of it! The characters are so unique and funny! My heart went out to Lindz and Jack because they had no idea what they were getting into when they accepted the invitation to vacation with people who are so rich they have lost touch with reality, but not with the same human problems that tie all the classes together. I rooted for Lindz and Jack and really wanted them to come together in the end (no spoilers!). Overall, this movie is so entertaining and I will definitely watch it multiple times - it's just that good! It's "Bridesmaids" funny!

Movie location - three/four/five years ago, this region had weird wildfires that burned wineries and took out hundreds of houses. It is great this film captures the beauty that remained and is regaining in Sonoma County California.

The actresses are fun to watch on screen - they are entertaining as flappers. The plot has a little tension, as a viewer considers what will culminate from the plot swings one might anticipate. But what a viewer might expect at the coming climax is creatively passed on to an elegant simple conclusion.

The conversations are garish examples of some of the chat that - on occasion - can actually occur in Sonoma / Napa. So the parody was kinda entertaining. The lead "Jack" is well played by the show runner.

Pretty, weird, funny, beautiful farce - spin up with skill and levity. So happy to have encountered this film.
