Esteban C it was a nice, fun and interesting comedy that just made me happy in less than two hours! of course it wasn’t this big oscar winning film, but i got immediately hooked with the story, the characters and their journey through the movie. kristen bell steals the show, with allison janey and ben platt making the perfect mother and brother to get into this adventure with!!! didn’t went with many expectations, but came out of it knowing a cute little new story about a really dysfunctional family :) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Daniel G The actors made a really conventional movie into a bit more - though there were no laughs for this romcom. Kirsten Bell is often involved in such projects which are less comedy and much more social commentary and she's a very engaging screen presence. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review 'Woody' D 3 minutes into this movie, the acting is terrible, it has a stupidness about it that I'm not willing to gamble another minute of my life on it getting any better. Two thumbs down. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Kyle M Willing to discuss deeper subjects whilst appealingly comedic then forming a decent familial dynamic, the familiarly grasped commentary gets limited and afflicted by awkwardly addressed notions without realistic conviction nor spacious relations. (B-) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Jeff M I think a movie like this is probably one of the most difficult to pull off successfully. It is a dark comedy comprised of characters who, for the most part, are imminently unlikable put in situations that tend to compound their unlikability. In order for this to work, the filmmakers need to be uncompromising in their character development and find as much humor as possible in the various scenarios. And in both of these categories, the film misfires. Despite some biting lines of dialogue here and there, it's just not funny. And sometimes awkwardly so, including a failed attempt at a three-way and a bachelorette party gone awry. Even worse, the filmmakers aren't courageous in their convictions and, without giving too much away, throw everything away in the last 15 minutes by allowing all the characters moments of redemption and catharsis. It's such a predictable route and doesn't feel the least bit believable. Throughout the film, I kept thinking about a wonderful comedy I found on HBO Max called THE OTHER TWO. It also is filled with characters of dubious moral integrity, but the writing and performances are sharp and unyielding. This ultimately feels like a half-baked sitcom that thinks it's a lot more clever than it actually is. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Ken B While this was mildly entertaining, there have been so many movies like this, there's just nothing left to the imagination.
