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.

"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!

''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...

Nothing questionable, but a very sweet movie of the redemption of the main character from her depression of loosing her best friend during a recently canceled party by a unique alien. Very creative idea and execution, characters are not top of the line actors, but do an awesome job at very believable regular people going through the aftermath of the death of a best friend, if there were aliens studying us, this would be a great way to do it. Charming interactions between the two characters, with lots of cute issues to deal with. Great location and scenery. A few cuss words, no nudity or "other" content, focusing on the story completely. Refreshing fun and cute movie. Great for the whole family. Has a great message for those needing a lift in life.

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.
