Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
The acting in this movie is really good.
This film has a few chuckle worthy moments, but I find most of it cringe worthy. Whenever Hollywood decides to portray a mental health issue, it is almost always underplayed or just way over the top. As someone who has had BPD his entire life, I feel this film is a reflection of the second option. There are some elements of Alice's behavior that I can identify with, but certainly not too that extreme a degree. Just because someone has BPD it doesn't mean that they are a total train wreck. Even when we see Alice when she is "medicated", her behavior to me is unrealistic for someone with this condition ALONE. This is only my take based on my own experiences though, and realize that everyone's situation can be completely different from mine. If you want to get a more fact based, serious point of view on BPD, there are several good YouTube videos out there. This is just entertainment, which at the end of the day is really all it's intended to be, from a business point of view. Even on that basis alone though, I still don't find it as entertaining as a film like Lars and the Real Girl.
This was one of the worst movies I have seen. I felt the movie was a waste of time.The comedy in this movie is EXTREMELY deadpan, not an actual comedy movie, but rather someone who poured in money to get a movie up just like Alice did by buying her own tv show. Waste of time and leaves you feeling very crappy at the end of the movie. I suppose people who can relate to this situation IRL will appreciate the movie due to relatibility but for anyone else trying to enjoy a comedy movie, this is a horrible HORRIBLE movie. Not your typical funny movie to leave you with a light heart feeling great at the end. I regret every second I spent watching this movie thinking it would get better because Kristin Wiig was in it. Nope, it didnt. I think I lost interest in watching any of her movies moving forward.
Welcome To Me (2014) Lottery winner Wiig is charmingly funny, Funding vain talk show. Thoughtful look at Borderline, Though not always accurate. (Tanka (tan-kah) poems are unrhymed short poems that are five lines long, with the 5-7-5-7-7 syllable format. #Tanka #PoemReview
I'm adding a review as I think this film is sorely underrated. I've also seen others stating that the screenplay was confusing or lacked direction. I liked that the screenplay didn't insult the audience by preaching to us or telling us what to think. Instead, the story shows us everything we need to know about Alice and we're left to draw our own conclusions without the film adding its own judgement.As a BPD sufferer, Alice fears abandonment, is an emotional open-wound, sexually and financially impulsive without ever thinking through the consequences of her actions and incapable of empathy for other people or even seeing them as people. She over-shares, she tramples their boundaries and she struggles with her own identity.This is a clever, well balanced movie in that I laughed all the way through while still feeling bad for just how sad her situation was and at no point did I feel the movie was being unkind or mocking. The characters were well drawn and sympathetic, the performances (in particular Wiig) were excellent. The ending is also very cleverly handled, being ambiguously self serving and redemptive. I loved it.
