I'm Totally Fine

I will be short in this review.

This is not comedy, and I've expected a better story than this. Not only the acting, but every aspect of the movie is below expectations. The story could be developed better and I find the alien character, portrayed by Natalie Morales. Exceptional out of the movie plot. Her character should be the one that pulls us into the story and Jillian was supposed to round it up and make the connection from sci-fi to comedy, but nothing. As a lover of stand-up comedy, disappointed. There is no need to look into the holes in the plot, as the plot is written bad... Someone was supposed to put more effort to pull us into the movie and story with the character of Jennifer but failed really badly.

I must say I love the cast and that is the reason why can't believe this is so purely made.

Cheers!

Ok, I don't know if it should be a pre-requisite or not but having lost my father, sister and mother )and I'm 57 years old) this movie tells you a lot about the grieving process. I remember shortly after my sister died, a dream in which she appeared. I spoke with her and my father i think. Anyway, I kinda cut it all short and I told them in the dream that you couldn't be real because you are dead. I really wish that i could have had 48 hrs with them anyway. It was some-times difficult to watch because a lot of the anger and frustration shown was and is very real. It takes a long time to get over that stuff. I loved this movie. Comedy? Well I guess, sort of. But it didn't really matter to me. I guess movies are like that, we all see different things in them because we are all different a people. We have emotions too. Huh, I guess that IS our downfall. But you know what I'm glad we are who we are because without the roller-coaster of a ride we call life, life itself wouldn't be much fun. I'd never give that up. (I think that may have been a spoiler of sorts). Watch it. Try to look beyond an crappy jokes because they are there for a reason. I loved this movie. Thank you.

'I'm Totally Fine' is a fascinating exploration of grief, healing and friendship. The film is also subtly hilarious - I was expecting a serious sci-fi drama, but there were times when I actually found myself laughing out loud!

It was beautifully written, beautifully shot & beautifully acted from start to finish. The chemistry between Jillian Bell and Natalie Morales is palpable on screen. Talk about a dream team - I couldn't keep my eyes off them. I loved this movie and will be recommending it to anyone who will listen!

Delivered in an unusual way, the reconnection of a grieving woman to her late best friend was at the same time emotional and endearingly amusing. Vanessa and Jennifer seemed like an unusual friendship - one cautious and uptight and one wild and carefree. Touching on real themes like fear, regret, resentment and acceptance, it covers all these with depth and humour. Natalie Morales nailed Jennifer's awkward character - from her sentence construction, monotone alien delivery and the hilarious antics she got up to. I could have watched it for longer just to enjoy her performance. Loved it. Worth a watch.

''how does it feel to feel to be feeling'', is the word of this day and these kind of emotions that strikes you when dealing with grief and loss and sorrow, mourning over a person that has just deceased, in this case, just before the ultimate weekend party at a mansion out there in the mesa's out sw, to celebrate in a cataclysmic way the 2 year anniversary of joint companyship...

its a strange film that you might find troublesome to relate to, but if youve lost a businesspartner, good friend or loved ones this will be like a magic salute to your own strive, paced very well as a duett, the living and the ghost.

Remember this is made on a small budget, and couldve been a box office hit if backed up by a 50 mill$, but the cast of 5( visual), the broad and wise touch of elegance from the screenplaywrighter and director, will somehow shake your foundations anyhow.

Im a grumpy old man that havent experienced much loss yet,( when my parents passed i had allready come to terms with the loss), but i see the value of a little bit of sci-fi comedy in the drama, well done jillian, nathalie, alisha and brandon, excellent piece of work...
