Spread

I stumbled on this, watched the little opening clip that seemed intriguing and fired it up, not expecting that I would watch more than 5 minutes. Turned out it was a really fun, very well written and well acted movie. All to often with streaming movies I end up pausing and looking to see "how much longer" but not this time.

The basic storyline (out of work young woman falls into a job and does ridiculously well) has been done over and over, but the movie manages to make it fresh and funny, with some unexpected twists and turns. Definitely some "laugh out loud" moments.

All of characters are spot on and the laughs don't feel forced. It does get raunchy in spots but even if you think you might be offended, I highly recommend firing it up... you may find yourself laughing.

A fun lighthearted romp into behind-the-scenes at an adult industry magazine publisher. Really lovely set design and fun colorful costumes. The story is cute following a journalist who almost experiences a late coming of age. The story really drew me in and made me forget about so much else going on in the world. A real breather from the every day grind. We need more of these movies. Great direction! There are some funny one liners. My favorite character was Nelson, he reminded me of Herve from "call my agent" which I thoroughly enjoyed. Make sure to watch Spread when the kids aren't around. 9/10.

Despite its unserious tone, this movie proves to be a delightful and engaging comedic romp throughout. Elizabeth Gillies shines in her role, skillfully portraying a strong female presence in the workplace. Each of the coworkers feel right, even if they are a bit cliche (the mean one, the weird one, the old man, and the one you want to be with).

Every joke hits its mark, with several delivering laugh-out-loud moments. Considering its modest budget and relatively short production schedule, it offers a refreshing blend of comedy and a contemporary perspective on the adult entertainment industry.

The movie was really entertaining to watch. The storyline could have been a little better it felt a bit rushed but it's understandable since it's a movie and they did not have a lot of time for really deep storylines. The actors were all so good especially the lead Elizabeth and Harvey. Their comedic timing were in point. I would be interest in a sequel to get to know all the characters a little more. It would be interesting to explore Ruby's relationship with her coworkers outside of work and also her relationship with her dad and his new child. Overall a fun movie to watch. The cast and crew did a good job on this indie.

I had no idea what to expect but I am really happy I found this for my girlfriends. It had a unique style and we laughed out loud (ok giggling too) last night. We even learned some new vocabulary and found some new ideas....

Terrific cast -I really loved the connection between Harvey and Elizabeth and there was even a moving scene with them that was surprising. I liked that it wasn't so much about 'sex' but that there was a storyline I could follow- light and fun for a girls night...it gave us quite a bit to talk about.

Definitely not suitable for the kids but certainly could be a conversation starter for a partners. Interesting take on a 'taboo' industry and it was great to see the influence a woman could have in that male dominated world.
