aTypical Wednesday

This movie is so subtley genius. The character relationships and messages about race and mental health are told in funny yet poignant ways. JLee's portrayal of Gabe is so beautifully done and as much as his actions frustrate you, you also begin to feel so deeply for his character as he is forced to face, and come to terms with, his own demons.

I really enjoyed this movie. it really is a reflection of the intricacies and trails of normal relationships, life and problems... with a little drama thrown in for good measure.

It's a well written story for the most part, and the lead -Jlee really does a good job portraying the character of a worried, insecure but morally principled guy trying to manage a series of unfortunate events. I know him from 'The Orville' an exceptional Star Trek adaptation in which he plays helmsman/ chief engineer. He's ok in it, but here he does a far better job, albeit in his somewhat low key manner. The whole cast is pretty competent and does good job with the meterial, though Emmy Raver-Lampman who plays the 'Crazy' ex-lover does a spectacular job with the role.

The movie has some good laugh out load moments, but I wouldn't say its a funny movie, certainly not a comedy. I'm not even sure that is what was being aimed at. If I had to guess I would say 'humorous' which has been well achieved.

I think 7/10 is a fair and accurate rating, and it was a nice surprise to come across something so refreshing unexpectedly.

Great common sense meets crazy movie! Great guy Gabe and timely friend Alec mentor it out. This movie would make a great series.

Very funny movie. It also reminds me of some kids that I know.

Funny. Laughed out loud. Loved the characters and the acting. Great story and clever. I want a sequel and a series-enjoyed it that much!! Will look for more movies by J Lee!
