    It started and going as a comedy but ended depressing and sad..

    The movie was surprisingly good, the script, the acting by Leah. It was very funny and actually real to the western society and the feminism what was going on with the main character.

    The woman who was delusional and interested only to party ended by becoming depressed by being single and without babies.

    She was crying at the end over all the men who was dating and who she either friend zoned or just dumped and who now are either married or not interested in her.

    This is the way feminism is unfolding for delusional women in the western society who end up sad and feeling sorry for all the wasted chances.

    [6.6] Sweet hope

    A marvelous, touching, emotional and funny movie with great acting by the writer, director and talented actress who embodied her character believably, touchingly and smoothly.

    It has important messages, never gets you bored, never let you down and surely is not for everybody.

    I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Recommended to women who struggle emotionally in life.

    Rotten avocados

    It's a pretty chaotic, fun and funny, I had so many laughs. A really pleasant surprise because I wasn't expecting anything special. I don't know if it's meant to be a cautionary or an empowering story. The movie is about a woman who's fun and carefree all her life, the life of the party at every wedding, and is suddenly confronted with the reality of time slipping away and she doesn't have as much of it as she thinks she does. While it might resonate with women in their 30s, the emotional roller coaster of Nellie's journey, blending fun and introspection, makes it enjoyable for anyone. The movie strikes a perfect balance between drama and comedy, offering moments of laughter amid the poignant exploration of loneliness, fear, and past decisions.

    It's quite the tragic story, it's all fun and games at the start and then it gets sad. It was hard to imagine a happy good ending for this movie, always felt like it was gonna be sad in the second half. The ending isn't as impactful as I think it should be but it's a pretty great movie. It's meant to be empowering and remove stigma around freezing eggs, but I left the theater reflecting more about the notion of time's running out. It's sad for a huge chunk of it but I walked out with a smile because it never gets sappy. It's pretty original, well acted and the characters are great. I also love the soundtrack.

    The 'freezing eggs' prep talk was great. I also love the tag line "use by 35" like an expiration date. I'm also glad she didn't go through with the toothbrush thing. I loved the reoccurring symbolism done with Avocados. Also I really loved the doctor. I also really felt the second hand pain and embarrassment when Nellie went spying.

    If you think this is gonna be bad, it's better than you expect. As my introduction to Leah McKendrick's work, both writing and directing, I'm exiting to see more of her filmography. I usually don't favor actors directing and acting their own films, this one was an exception. It's a small indie movie, it's not conventional but it's one I wish was mainstream so it got more recognition. If you were on the fence about watching I recommend going, wouldn't call it one of the best movies you'll see but it's a refreshingly different and fun experience.

    A Must Watch for Millennial Women

    For fellow millennial women or women who have felt the crunch of a "ticking biological clock", this is a must watch. Sure, there are few stereotypical tropes in terms of the men in the movie as well as some of the women the main character Nellie finds herself friends with, but overall I found Scrambled thoroughly enjoyable, humorous, emotional, and timely.

    At a time when many millennial women are being more intentional in finding their "one", figuring out themselves, and starting a family, there isn't much space to have public conversations on planning for pregnancy or even the loss and heartbreak of miscarriage.

    If you're a male or someone older than a millennial, this may not be the movie for you. But even if you don't fall in the very specific demographic this movie aims to target, there's still room for a few laughs and a little learning that being a woman often means very hard decisions and pressures that society likes to not talk about.

    Surprisingly very good

    I caught this on cable one late night and stayed up to finish watching it. I was surprised about the low rating as I really liked it. It was funny and I never lost interest. Very touching and with enough touch of reality. The main character was masterfully acted. I am not sure that I buy the feminist twist on freezing eggs as I consider it mostly just refusal to "grow up" and sacrifice what needs sacrificing in order to become a parent. This totally is a choice but it is not a "virtue" to not be ready. Nevertheless, delightful movie that deserves more attention then what it got. I recommend it.
