Not the film was expecting, pleasantly surprised

Rating: 7/10 (7 December 2013)

This movie was advertised as being the female equivalent to the Hangover, but it isn't anything like the Hangover. There's no drunken bachelorette party. It borders on being a rom com and is more about the main character, Kristin Wiig, finding herself again. Whilst there is the occasionally slapstick moment and variety of improvised crude lines, it's not so much to offend anyone. I don't like silly movies generally but I do like rom coms, and I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Also surprising is how well Chris O'Dowd fits in to the movie and his believable performance having only seen him in quirky British TV shows like IT Crowd. At times the dialogue was a little awkward in the movie and there's some uncomfortable pauses but a pleasant surprise.
