Charlie Theron puts in a very good performance in a lacklustre film with an unlikeable plot and a cop-out ending. 5.5/10

For the life of me I can't figure out why Charlize Theron isn't a bigger star. Sure, she did some big Hollywood movies like Fury Road and Atomic Blonde. But those were action movies and she is a tremendous dramatic actress - her most recent example of this are Tully and Bombshell (she was by far the best part of that movie). In this movie she did something that I think is hard to do - she played a despicable character without having the character be _too_ despicable. For some reason I kept thinking of Katherin Heigl's perfomance in the (severally over-rated) Knocked Up since that felt like someone that couldn't play this kind of character. There is such a thing as too whiny. Anyway, it was an ok movie until the ending - it really surprised me in a good way. I wasn't expecting it and it was refreshing. follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com or facebook IHateBadMovies.

I wanted to see this after I saw Jason Reitman and Charlize Theron's other movie, Tully. That was almost a sort of spiritual sequel to this. Charlize Theron is really good in this. Her character is a bitch. The story is somewhat relatable. Trying to relive your glory days seems like a good idea. Not super laugh out loud funny but more of awkward situation funny. Worth a watch.

Utter garbage. Slow simple self indulgent effluence just not worthy of your time. AVOID

NOTE FOR MYSELF SO I REMEMBER SOMEDAY, ONLY REPRESENTS MY OPINION/THOUGHTS FOR MYSELF NOT A “REAL REVIEW“, SO YOU PROBABLY WONT AGREE WITH IT (also its not my 1st language) [spoiler] somehow expected more, I thought she was depressed and not a bitch, yes she's both but it made me dislike her, even tho towards the end it got a little better and clearer why she's the way she is, but all in all I didn't really enjoyed that movie, not that bad but meh [/spoiler]
