My Favorite Girlfriend

There really isn't much to like about this film. The acting is stiff, the pacing is weird. I'm not sure if the directing was off or if it was the writing (leaning toward the writing). The overarching voice goes for funny, but it's just annoying. I didn't believe any interaction in the movie. It felt very much like a student film, which - maybe it was?

The leads were frustrating and unlikable. When you first meet the guy I think they're going for him being a himbo, but you have to be likable to be a himbo. The first time we meet the woman, Molly, she is rude and self absorbed and it's supposed to be cute? It's not. The dialogue was super odd. I don't know if the writer knows how anyone actually talks - because no one speaks like that.

"You're lucky I don't condone violence." "You're lucky I didn't drink milk growing up." Hahahahaha......... no.

Honestly, if you're on the fence about watching this, it's completely passable. You aren't missing a single thing. I would give this a 0/10 if I could.

At first you think you're viewing a romcom.. and you are. But then, it takes it's twists and turns. Conrad is a blank slate that the movie builds on. You don't know much about him until you see him interact with the other characters and the female lead. His journey to help someone else ends up helping him, too.

The buddy scenes are hilarious and the pizza chef, Regina brings so much sass. The lighthearted way she jokes with the staff/owners is perfectly balanced with the serious subject of the film. It's the right amount of LOL's and AWWW's The final scene leaves us wanting to know "what's next!!??"

I've seen a lot of bad movies, but this is a special kind of bad. It's a romantic comedy that is neither comedic nor romantic. It's a collection of rough draft notes someone managed to stretch into an hour and a half long dumpster fire.

To kick off this wreck of a film, we introduce our main guy: Conrad. Conrad has no personality to speak of. He has no history either. He is a completely blank piece of paper who everyone is mean to for no reason, and he offers about as much to the plot as your average living room sofa. Outside of him having OCD (which is not plot relevant AT ALL and somehow doesn't seem to add any nuance to his character), Conrad has nothing discernible interesting about him.

And yet here he is, pursuing Molly - a woman he was weirdly hostile to once in a coffee shop while on an errand for his boss and now we have the setup for our movie. Molly is your average romance movie girl. She's blonde and a woman, but other than that she feels more like a doll than a person. Even her additional personalities are boring, one-dimensional cardboard cutouts with no depth to speak of.

And this is all without touching on the fact that the acting is abysmal. It's not even so bad it's funny. It's just plain painful to watch. Not a single line is delivered with any amount of believability. Honestly this feels like a deep learning program's first attempt at generating human interaction. It's awkward and disjointed and it's only made worse by the fact that NONE of these characters have chemistry. I'm not even sure Conrad and Molly would make good friends, let alone romantic partners.

All in all, it's terrible. Bad acting, bad setup, and a bad premise that does a major disservice to OCD and DID. Don't waste your time or money.

Have you ever found a magazine while cleaning,and decided to give a quick read-through after finishing the housework? Then after finally finishing that magazine you were compelled to clean again,just to clear your mind of that awful mess of media and boring writing. This movie was that magazine. Hulu must've had a quota to fill or something,because it wasn't bad acting that tainted this film,It seemed to be rushed in each scene with little emotion from all the 'personalities' and that's me being generous. Its not a repeat viewing,its a 'turn on for background noise' film.(Now that I think about it,this would've made for a tolerable podcast🤔)

Seriously I wish I had not watched this movie. Once I start something though I have to finish it. It was very cringey and played into boring stereotypes. Learn from my mistakes and suffering, do not bother with this.
