Pretty Problems

I thought this movie was great. The dialogue is really funny. It's witty and current - the cacao scene was over the top! The plot has enough curiosities to keeps you engaged - its not a highbrow thriller, it provides just enough plot to give the characters something to do and move the show along.

The supporting characters are all ridiculous and entertaining. For an ensemble cast, there's still just enough focus on each character for them to stand on their own and not be forgettable.

Some pretty heavy hitters in this film - fulk designs, skywalker sound, etc.

It can be a touch cliche and tropey at times, and there are a few plot threads left unexplored, but I enjoyed it overall.

What a delight. Living in the Bay Area, about an hour from Sonoma, I recognized many of the characters in my day-to-day life in the movie. The out of touch tech millionaires, the miserable corporate grunts (that's me), the drunk sorority girls, check! Let's not forget the shaman. As far fetched as the plot is, the characters are weirdly relatable, even the ultra rich when they're being level and vulnerable (Matt in the pool). The dialogue is current, and some of the banter felt so real, like I'm listening to a conversation at a neighborhood bar.

The movie reminded me of Crazy Rich Asians, but for white people. Some of the critics pointed out the lack of diversity, but that's precisely what it's like in the rich circles of Marin/Sonoma counties.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this movie buried deep in my Hulu recommendations. If you're looking for a witty escape comedy, this is your movie. I will definitely be re-watching it. Finished it an hour ago and still have a smile on my face. So much so, I'm compelled to write my first ever IMDB review!

Movie location - three/four/five years ago, this region had weird wildfires that burned wineries and took out hundreds of houses. It is great this film captures the beauty that remained and is regaining in Sonoma County California.

The actresses are fun to watch on screen - they are entertaining as flappers. The plot has a little tension, as a viewer considers what will culminate from the plot swings one might anticipate. But what a viewer might expect at the coming climax is creatively passed on to an elegant simple conclusion.

The conversations are garish examples of some of the chat that - on occasion - can actually occur in Sonoma / Napa. So the parody was kinda entertaining. The lead "Jack" is well played by the show runner.

Pretty, weird, funny, beautiful farce - spin up with skill and levity. So happy to have encountered this film.

Such a funny movie - walked into the theater grumpy AF and walked out smiling after belly laughing for almost two hours. The two female leads are the standouts - JJ Nolan is mesmerizing and a very hilarious/psycho and Britt Rentschler is like THE BEST wing woman and I want to hang with her in SIlverlake or a music festival immediately. Director Kestrin Pantera brings her indie film maven dominance to this film - with insane party scenes that create the perfect opportunity for these fab actors to really roll up their sleeves and get SUPER MESSY. Loved it. Great weekend hangover film FOR SURE. Highly Recommend!

Ripe with potential gushy gush, let's cut to the cheese: Pretty Problems seizes the class differentiation and marital sneeze smorgasbord with its clusters of dry jammy juicy and spicy.

Written, directed and acted with giggly panache, there was one ironic characteristic about Pretty Problems I'm not sure I could say about any other movie: Thank God I watched it streaming on a laptop, in bed next to my wife who had already seen it. Because I was laughing so hard and so often it would have ruined a theater screening unless it was a laughter yoga crowd.

The rewind 10 seconds button had a record setting number of punches, after the cheek wipes and OMG fits had subsided.

Just binged The White Lotus and it would make a fine pairing for this deliciously persnickety weekend of what happens when the posh pool and the couple poo collide in Sonoma's wine country.

Congrats - so bright and pink!
