It's as if Iliza Schlesinger is still bitter, IRL, that she has to milk this "I was conned by this guy" victim mentality, stand-up bit that she has been doing since she started, which was mediocre at best, which translates into a horrible,It's as if Iliza Schlesinger is still bitter, IRL, that she has to milk this "I was conned by this guy" victim mentality, stand-up bit that she has been doing since she started, which was mediocre at best, which translates into a horrible, self-indulgent, vanity movie.

The premise is great and I got a few laughs but the characters were very two dimensional. The boyfriend was gross and pathetic, Iliza always tried her best, and her friend was a badass. That's it.

Perhaps the hardest part of watching thisThe premise is great and I got a few laughs but the characters were very two dimensional. The boyfriend was gross and pathetic, Iliza always tried her best, and her friend was a badass. That's it.

Perhaps the hardest part of watching this movie is how heavy-handed it is. After each moment when the boyfriend or Pretty Girl do something wrong, Iliza or another character has to spell out to us how gross it is. I wanted to feel palpable awkwardness and instead it feels like a classroom lesson. For example, Dude Bro is a complete bonehead but then randomly pipes up "that's pretty ableist, bro". He's just another mouthpiece.

I thought the courtroom scene was a great idea, since the whole movie is a judgement of their relationship. The talking in the toilets part creeped me out.

I'd recommend this movie if you like "gotcha!" comebacks, but it really wasn't for me.… Expand
