I've said it before and I'll say it again - Allison Janey is a national treasure! That woman is great in every role - no matter how big or small it is. You can tell she's really in it for the joy of acting.
And as far as this movie goes - you seriously need to watch it. It's an hour and a half of ridiculous absurdity which feels a little too real to me - like this could actually happen for real but then nah... I don't know. Just watch it already!!!! It's so good!

Every once in a while a movie comes out that flys under the radar that's really good and no one talks about and this is that movie. Crazy bonkers from start to finish. It's not amazing and it's maybe a little too bonkers at times but it's a fun film.
Crafting a tangled plot that weaves together it's deplorable characters through lies and misunderstandings. Allison Janney delivers a standout performance as the lead, impressively straddling the line between being sympathetic and morally reprehensible. It may come up a bit short on actual laughs, but it's inventive story is fun to watch play out. I can't for the life of me understand why other reviews of this are so low.
From the weird haircuts to the crazy coincidences to the horrible dullness of every day life, this movie is quite the roller coaster. It was very entertaining IMO. It wont win any Oscars but its nice to have something thats both dark and funny all at once.
I wasn't expecting much and it was a really well done story. Good actors twists and turns and some unpredictable moments. Overall I was really impressed.
