After reading so many bad reviews, I knew I had to step in and defend this really funny movie. Luckily, the trailer sets the film up exactly so you know what you are in for. Is the protagonist making some questionable choices? Yes, absolutely! But it is a comedy film and not a self-help life lesson. The trick is to not take the film seriously. The main character can also be somewhat of an antihero, as well. The story line in the beginning moves fast, but it's because all of the laughs and gags occur during the main party scene where most of the events take place. I thought the acting was great and the choice of actors worked really well. If you don't think about the morals of the movie too hard, you will find yourself cackling and laughing at the hilarious predicaments that the main character finds herself in. No spoilers, but I also love that the film stayed true to its storyline with an ending that was satisfying and not cliché romcom. This is not Bridget Jones, and it didn't deserve to have a Bridget Jones-style ending. It was definitely a thumbs up on my stream list, and a good laugh on an otherwise slow weeknight.
