Minha Namorada Favorita

I'm a bit of a psychology nerd, so I decided to give this a shot. A bit campy and cheesy, yes. But surprisingly a great take on the psychological theories of 'Internal Family Systems' and 'Personality Fragmentation' using the RomCom format, and terms the average person recognizes like multiple personalities, even though its existence is hotly debated.

Found it to be a welcome break from all the horror and thriller movies constantly villanizing people with mental illness. Highly recommend the book 'No Bad Parts by Dr. Richard C. Schwartz' to anyone who enjoyed this.

If they actually do the sequel, I really hope they introduce an IFS therapist character, instead of the hypnotherapist guy, and really explore all the different personality fragments, and get to the source of the trauma, which led to her fragmentation. Would be fun to really see her get better and become a more functional and integrated person.

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.

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.

The acting was stiff and uncomfortable. The plot was predictable. Why did someone make this ? I feel like there was no heart in this. It was rushed, tacky and the main lead actress lacked basic skills. I would pass on this one.
