I passed this movie over many times trying to find SOMETHING to watch in this very cold winter of actors/writers/etc. Strike and horrible wars within the U. S. as well as what's going on around the world. I desperately need comedy (not the crudest kind) and positivity because life for many of us has already been tough enough (no exaggeration!) There are too many cut'em'up, mortify us to the edge, STUPID with no point, re-dos that don't, & so on, that searching for something worth watching is like walking a long plank only to drop off up to your navel into a qlutenous quagmire as you watch the portal peons clap. S I G H . . .
IGNORE the negative reviews. I'm very picky and this movie is qute humerous (meaning I giggled and smiled a lot which caused minor pain to my wrinkles). The movie also quite comedically mirrors 'our' tendencies, since time immemorial, to be pretty darn self centered, maybe demanding, even when there are those of us thinking we are doing it for the benefit of others. It shows us the various sides to human nature in such a funny way and that we can continue to grow. I did NOT find it shmaltzy, just great writing, acting and directing.
The two main characters were excellent! Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs, as always, were great. Digg's fit throwing were something to aspire to - my oldest son, when three y.o., could have learned from Taye's displays, yet I always thought my Nate was the best. Pete Davidson was amazing in his few times on screen. I'd love to see him in more movies like this, or in characters more like this even in edgier movies. He IS a funny guy!
Okay, I'm sure I could say more and have left some thoughts out, but this is very long winded for me. I'm done. Happy New Year, Hoping for some peace!!! :)
