Spinster

This movie is kind of frustrating, because I agree with a lot of the messaging behind it. It's very "a woman doesn't need to find love or have kids to live a successful, fulfilling life". But the implementation of that messaging feels very heavy-handed and clumsy. Characters will randomly ask the main character if she has kids so that they can launch into the whole conversation surrounding it, and the actual dialogue feels kind of stilted.

It's solid messaging though, and very true! Everything surrounding that is competent. Directing is solid, if unremarkable, acting is fine. There's some attempts at emotional stakes that don't always land, but the main character has a developing bond with her niece that I enjoyed.

Overall I'd say it's worth a watch if you don't have anything better going on, but you're not missing anything spectacular if you don't watch it.

I liked this movie. I will say, it's made for people who like romantic comedies, that is the target audience. Also, it wasn't really funny. It contains one laugh-out-loud moment, which was also included in the trailer.

Regardless, I had a good time watching, it's sort of a look at a 39-year-old woman finding her way in life and just seeing her get used to probably ending up alone. The main character is not the most likeable person in the world, but I could sympathize with her. The movie contains a lot of coded messages, no doubt aiming to educate and inspire the moure young viewers, but they do stick out in a noticeable way when you watch as an adult.

The good part about the film was how comforting it was, it demonstrated that you can find contentment in life just by prioritizng your own wants. It's not the most life-changing movie you will ever see, but it was a nice way to pass the time.

First off, the fact this movie has a 5.1 review score is ridiculous. This film is not so much a romcom as it is a realistic portrayal of how and where women can find value in different areas of their lives in the absence of romantic relationships. If is really well acted, and Chelsea Perretti hits all the right marks.

I like it. It tells the story of a girl, that is brave enough to look for love, even it never happens. She doesn't settle just with somebody to have company, she is looking for meaningful relationship.

You can count on anything Chelsea Peretti is in to illicit at least a few laughs. Funny movie.
