Directed by: Lake
Bell
Starring: Lake Bell
Rating: B
This Netflix find
has been on my radar for a time. I first knew about the movie after watching a
trailer in a movie theater, however the movie is much better than the catchy
trailer leads viewers to believe. The movie has substance, a complicated story
line, suspense, quirkiness, and above all the main character is relatable. She
is not relatable in that we are all voice over actors, but her life is a bit of
a mess. She comically stumbles through her days trying to navigate adult life.
We can all relate to that on some level. As she stumbles along in life she
happens to solve the life problems of her loved ones and provides them with a
little comic relief during their personal tragedies. Above all else, this movie
is charming.
BTW: Interestingly,
this movie reads like a one woman show, the Lake Bell show. She wrote,
directed, and starred in this film.
