Eric 12h As several reviewers said, you have to suspend disbelief that the lead actor is not a woman. I think that took away from it. But it has good elements to it and overall is worth watching. See more CRS 1d Interesting movie but not sure why the lead female role was played by a man? It’s fine, but I thought maybe the ending would reveal some sort of reason for it… because it seemed intentional to me. (Or maybe the actor just happens to be transgender? But, again, it felt like that role was very intentional.) So in that sense, the ending didn’t match my expectations and was a little underwhelming. I just thought there’d be some point to it. Maybe there is, but I’m just missing it. (I’m writing this before doing any research on the film - I had no expectations going into it.) The lead character was charming and it was overall an entertaining movie and believable. See more LeeLeap 3d Incredible. Unique. Hilarious. Touching. A gem of a film in an ocean of unremarkable movies. See more John M @JMthe2nd 2d This movie totally escaped me. John Early had two choices when deciding to play a woman. 1-make her a total believable and relatable sympathetic character or 2-make her an overblown satirical and over the top character. Unfortunately his portrayal falls somewhere in the middle and lands like a ton of bricks. Not funny, not interesting and utterly confusing to watch. I did not believe for a second he wasn't a man playing a woman. What I couldn't figure out was why was he doing it??? The whole movie plays like an elongated SNL skit that doesn't quite hit the mark. Had he abandoned the idea of himself playing Maddie and purely went for the skewering of internet influencers and the overly melodramatic movies of the 80's the end result would have been much more successful. Is it a comedy? Is it a drama? Is it a satire? In it's current form it's a big basket of none-of-the-above. See more Martin C 5d Spoiler alert, secret is eating disorder. Self centered women with clueless husband and utterly fantastical career lives See more Katharine C @RT20433766 6d I adore John Early but can't recommend this, sadly. Tonally all over the place and not funny when it tries to be. I have faith in his next film, though! See more Read all reviews
