Featured reviews
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.
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 think the story is quite fun. Even though the lead character is crooked, you still feel for her.
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.
At first i was reluctant to watch this mostly because of the title of the film, but I m glad i did. It's a fun film. The concept is not new but the story is actually good with plenty of twists and surprises coupled with some good acting by the female lead and the cast overall. Runtime is sufficient and the pace of the film is good, making it easy to watch. Maybe a bit more violent than you would expect but maybe also a bit more funny than you would expect; the film does not try to take itself that serious. If you are looking for a fun, multi-faceted story with the protagonists getting more and more entangled as it progresses and toppled with some dark humour, then give it a go. 7/10
