I'll say it... this looks awful and looks to totally capitalize on Captain Marvel. You couldn't pay me to watch this.

Apparently Larson went the Cretton route with directing and it doesn't mesh well with the material. |

This looks truly terrible.

Did she and SLJ make a pact to appear in each other's movies for a certain time period? Interesting that after winning the Oscar most of Larson's work has been what would be straight to video fare back in the day. This looks like something a video store would have playing on its system for no other reason than the fact that no one was renting it.

Kinda wondered what happened to this after it fizzled out at TIFF a couple years ago. Should've guessed it would be dumped on Netflix when they could time it to something bigger. Even looking at the fest outline back then, the whole concept seemed so twee as to be unbearable.

I liked the Trailer :shrug:

I did too. But I would watch anything with Brie, but this does look good. Whimsical and fun... |

Same. I don’t get the early crap-on this is getting here. But I could probably like her doing anything. |

Freefire was wrapped in 2015. That Basmati Blues movie was delayed for years and tried to market her name after the Oscar. This was part of a two picture deal with Netflix. She will most likely be directing another movie for them. https://deadline.com/2019/01/brie-la...rn-1202546364/ |

I wouldn't say it's an "early" crap-on. The film got crapped on two years ago, which is partly why it's been off the radar until now. That's not to say there weren't critics that liked it, because there were.

This is up today.

Saw this earlier today.
The script is clunky but I appreciated the film's theme of optimism in a time of constant cynicism. There were some scenes in the film I very much enjoyed including Spoiler:

It was ok but forgettable. I'd be interested in seeing her next directorial effort though.
Phantom Planet is one of my all-time favorite band's and their singer (and Brie's ex-fiance), Alex Greenwald, did the music for it. So it was nice to get some new music from him. |

I liked it. Nothing spectacular, but charming and mostly funny. |

Wow I thought this was great because it was different and a oddball comedy which I liked and not bad for a Netflix movie.
Alex Greenwald and Brie broke up. Spoiler:

I re-watched the film a few weeks ago, screening it in one of the High School classes I teach. It went over very well! |

LOL
I thought I was watching a good or great movie and maybe a cult movie until I came to this thread and read the reviews online. |
