I had high hopes knowing that this was a Yorgos film, but was also hesitant because not all of his films I loved... However, this might have been the best film he's done so far. Emma Stone is a scene stealer. If she doesn't get at least an Oscar nomination for this role, I'd be stunned. Stunning set design, cinematography, use of colors, and overall, fantastic story on feminism. Highly recommend this to anyone, though I feel most people would either love this or hate this. Plenty of laughs, but also plenty of endearing moments that truly make you think. Yorgos is an auteur, and I look forward to his future films.

Frankly my negative review is mostly towards Kenya Barris. Taking out of the equation his mediocre acting, the constant whining and complaining nature of his character drives me up the wall. Thankfully Rashida and the rest of the cast makes up for it a bit. Plot lines are a bit beaten to a bloody pulp and really offer no depth. Great idea. Not so great execution.
