Scrambled

A marvelous, touching, emotional and funny movie with great acting by the writer, director and talented actress who embodied her character believably, touchingly and smoothly.

It has important messages, never gets you bored, never let you down and surely is not for everybody.

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Recommended to women who struggle emotionally in life.

This film deserves at least a 7-8 stars out of 10! I found the writing and characters funny, thought it was well filmed, and just the right amount of "quirky." Also, Leah McKendrick is now one of my favorite actresses! And I am so impressed that she wrote/directed/starred in "Scrambled!" Serious girl power babes!! *clapping hands emoji* On a bit more of a serious note, I felt really connected to the storyline and Nellie's journey. I personally can't think of a film that talks about something so common for so many women! And it was still light hearted and funny, and not too serious. I connected with this film because as a woman in my 30's, my biological clock is ticking! And although I know there are others on the same journey as me, it was nice to know and see a movie on the big screen tackle what can sometimes be a very sensitive subject.

I randomly found this one night while surfing through Crave and I'm so happy I did! And I can't wait to recommend it to more people to watch!

And thank you Leah for creating a film about this subject. It really made me feel good, and made me feel as though I'm not alone if I choose to freeze my eggs. There were many moments in the movie where I found I was thinking the EXACT same thing as Nellie.

Thanks again Leah! MAKE MORE FILMS!!

And if you haven't watched "Scrambled" then I highly recommend that you do so soon! Xoxo.

The movie was surprisingly good, the script, the acting by Leah. It was very funny and actually real to the western society and the feminism what was going on with the main character.

The woman who was delusional and interested only to party ended by becoming depressed by being single and without babies.

She was crying at the end over all the men who was dating and who she either friend zoned or just dumped and who now are either married or not interested in her.

This is the way feminism is unfolding for delusional women in the western society who end up sad and feeling sorry for all the wasted chances.

It was approximately funny for a serious topic. This wasn't a documentary. So, nothing to learn as one reviewer mentioned. I was thoroughly intrigued and entertained. This type of movie would not have been something that I would have selected maybe 10yrs ago but decided to give it a try. I'm glad that I did. When you are going through self-discovery, there are some hard truths that you should learn about yourself and this character did with much acceptance. I appreciated the diverse friend group and supportive family. I am looking forward to a second part to see if she finds someone deserving enough to fertilize those eggs.

It's a pretty chaotic, fun and funny, I had so many laughs. A really pleasant surprise because I wasn't expecting anything special. I don't know if it's meant to be a cautionary or an empowering story. The movie is about a woman who's fun and carefree all her life, the life of the party at every wedding, and is suddenly confronted with the reality of time slipping away and she doesn't have as much of it as she thinks she does. While it might resonate with women in their 30s, the emotional roller coaster of Nellie's journey, blending fun and introspection, makes it enjoyable for anyone. The movie strikes a perfect balance between drama and comedy, offering moments of laughter amid the poignant exploration of loneliness, fear, and past decisions.

It's quite the tragic story, it's all fun and games at the start and then it gets sad. It was hard to imagine a happy good ending for this movie, always felt like it was gonna be sad in the second half. The ending isn't as impactful as I think it should be but it's a pretty great movie. It's meant to be empowering and remove stigma around freezing eggs, but I left the theater reflecting more about the notion of time's running out. It's sad for a huge chunk of it but I walked out with a smile because it never gets sappy. It's pretty original, well acted and the characters are great. I also love the soundtrack.

The 'freezing eggs' prep talk was great. I also love the tag line "use by 35" like an expiration date. I'm also glad she didn't go through with the toothbrush thing. I loved the reoccurring symbolism done with Avocados. Also I really loved the doctor. I also really felt the second hand pain and embarrassment when Nellie went spying.

If you think this is gonna be bad, it's better than you expect. As my introduction to Leah McKendrick's work, both writing and directing, I'm exiting to see more of her filmography. I usually don't favor actors directing and acting their own films, this one was an exception. It's a small indie movie, it's not conventional but it's one I wish was mainstream so it got more recognition. If you were on the fence about watching I recommend going, wouldn't call it one of the best movies you'll see but it's a refreshingly different and fun experience.
