Featured reviews
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.
Allison Janney rocks yet again. This time as.in a different kind of character not seen before. The movie begins with her being a simple wife who is not even enough self assertive to begin with...and then...Good script leading to an entertaining thriller that is thoroughly enjoyable. Good direction by Tate Taylor. I enjoyed her last thriller AVA which was the reason I decided to watch this one and she does not disappoint.
Like,people,come on. How this Gem has only 5.4 Imdb and such low Metascore. I've never laugh so many times in like two years watching comedy. Yeah, I get it look like absurd and parodyt of movie but that what it is. It was really interesting to watch, it had so many plot twists, main character did amazing work. The best comedy of this year, hands down.
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!
