Kathryn Upside Down

I love the way the writer/director took her own spin on the classic '80s love story. This film is funny and heartwarming and is one I'd watch again. The story is new and so relatable. The acting was great and I never lost interest even though I had a good feeling I knew exactly what was going to happen. I can't wait to see what's next from this director, producer, and actor!

The film is very interesting. It is about a young girl meeting her father and how it changes her. It is very funny but took an unexpected serious turn which caught me off guard in a good way, it's a bizarre mix of fun and sometimes sadness...it's a unique film.

This is the kind of movie you will want to see when you have a bad day. Using more improvisation as opposed to scripted, first time filmmaker Allie Loukas is a face to look out for. She reminded me of Ellie Kemper and gives a great performance as Kathryn, who is miserable with her current situation and her handling of a shocking turn of events that are bound to change her life forever. The supporting cast are great as well, bringing to mind elements of various things, including a possible Cinderella-like tale not for Kathryn, but her mother, who has an evil husband and stepdaughter. Christoper M. Walsh is great as Bob, the plumber whose shocking revelation brings the titular term to mind. This is one indie comedy I would highly recommend.

Great movie! So hard to find great comedies now! Best one I've seen in years! Great Chicago movie! Makes me want Giordanos!

I had a chance to watch this film last night and I found it to be a light hearted coming of age comedy about what happens when new relationships are thrust upon you.

The story follows Kathryn, a young and foul-mouthed playwright with her mother and evil stepfather in high society. When a toilet mishap necessitates a plumber, she's shocked to find out the man is actually her biological father whom her mother had a one night stand with long ago. Now Kathryn has to learn how to forge a relationship with this man and what it means for her as a person as she grows over the course of the film.

The film does a good job of keeping the story and pace of the film steady and has some funny moments as Kathryn tries to build a relationship with her father, Bob. The humor is more crude but the film still has heart and by the end you feel for the characters.

Some of the characters fall a bit flat and some of the acting from some of the actors leaves something to be desired, but overall this film is a good rent and worth checking out.

It's a fun film well made that was worth the watch.
