I'm Totally Fine

I don't normally watch films in this genre, so I turned this movie on for background noise while trying to get some work done. But instead of getting any work done, I was completely enthralled! I was glued to the TV the entire time. It says a lot about the quality and skill of the people who put this movie together. This film is silly in all of the right ways, but it also seemed to handle the topic of grief in a realistic way without coming across as too depressing or heavy-handed. If you've ever lost something or someone, laughter is often the best medicine, and that theme comes through consistently throughout this film.

''how does it feel to feel to be feeling'', is the word of this day and these kind of emotions that strikes you when dealing with grief and loss and sorrow, mourning over a person that has just deceased, in this case, just before the ultimate weekend party at a mansion out there in the mesa's out sw, to celebrate in a cataclysmic way the 2 year anniversary of joint companyship...

its a strange film that you might find troublesome to relate to, but if youve lost a businesspartner, good friend or loved ones this will be like a magic salute to your own strive, paced very well as a duett, the living and the ghost.

Remember this is made on a small budget, and couldve been a box office hit if backed up by a 50 mill$, but the cast of 5( visual), the broad and wise touch of elegance from the screenplaywrighter and director, will somehow shake your foundations anyhow.

Im a grumpy old man that havent experienced much loss yet,( when my parents passed i had allready come to terms with the loss), but i see the value of a little bit of sci-fi comedy in the drama, well done jillian, nathalie, alisha and brandon, excellent piece of work...

This movie is more darkly comic than stand up comic. Go into it expecting that and you will enjoy it much more.

It is a slightly new take on the theme of dealing with the loss of a loved one. Also, do not see it as a serious sci-fi and try to explain it from a realistic scientific perspective...it almost seems a side plot that one of the characters is an alien...

While there are probably a thousand life time movies that try to do this theme, None will measure up to this.

The acting of both female roles is superb. The grieving friend is such a complex believable realistic character that at times, I wanted to reach in and hug her and at other times I wanted to jump on the couch playing air guitar with her. The alien monotone robotic delivery was fabulous and perfectly funny in all the right places, adding a nice dimension on an old theme.

Bottom line.... I am usually not a fan of this type of movie but found myself enjoyably entertained and thoroughly appreciating the final message of the movie. I definitely recommend.

"What we once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love becomes a part of us."

'I'm Totally Fine' is a fascinating exploration of grief, healing and friendship. The film is also subtly hilarious - I was expecting a serious sci-fi drama, but there were times when I actually found myself laughing out loud!

It was beautifully written, beautifully shot & beautifully acted from start to finish. The chemistry between Jillian Bell and Natalie Morales is palpable on screen. Talk about a dream team - I couldn't keep my eyes off them. I loved this movie and will be recommending it to anyone who will listen!

Ok, I don't know if it should be a pre-requisite or not but having lost my father, sister and mother )and I'm 57 years old) this movie tells you a lot about the grieving process. I remember shortly after my sister died, a dream in which she appeared. I spoke with her and my father i think. Anyway, I kinda cut it all short and I told them in the dream that you couldn't be real because you are dead. I really wish that i could have had 48 hrs with them anyway. It was some-times difficult to watch because a lot of the anger and frustration shown was and is very real. It takes a long time to get over that stuff. I loved this movie. Comedy? Well I guess, sort of. But it didn't really matter to me. I guess movies are like that, we all see different things in them because we are all different a people. We have emotions too. Huh, I guess that IS our downfall. But you know what I'm glad we are who we are because without the roller-coaster of a ride we call life, life itself wouldn't be much fun. I'd never give that up. (I think that may have been a spoiler of sorts). Watch it. Try to look beyond an crappy jokes because they are there for a reason. I loved this movie. Thank you.
