A look at a day in the life of a bunch of new yorkers, with their own tasks to complete. And because it's new york, everyone is a bit quirky. Some familiar faces...michael cera was in every film, for a while. He and the writer had made "entertainment" together in 2015. Tavi gevinson was on gossip girl. Abbi jacobson was the mind behind "broad city"; i didn't see it, but it was nominated for some emmies. In one story, the cops are investigating a murder, so phil hires claire to help dig into a murder, for his paper. But he's a terrible reporter. A couple of the stories just weren't that interesting. I kept waiting for the various stories to intersect. But they never do. Some negatives... wendy talks in long, run-on sentences, which gets annoying fast. When the cops go to arrest someone, they don't identify themselves as cops, they don't say what they want, and no-one shows a badge. The script needed work; maybe the writer should have concentrated on one of the stories, and really developed it. This grouping of short, unrelated tales doesn't really go anywhere. Written and directed by dustin defa. It's such a random group of ideas that didn't catch my interest.
