My Favorite Girlfriend

Have you ever found a magazine while cleaning,and decided to give a quick read-through after finishing the housework? Then after finally finishing that magazine you were compelled to clean again,just to clear your mind of that awful mess of media and boring writing. This movie was that magazine. Hulu must've had a quota to fill or something,because it wasn't bad acting that tainted this film,It seemed to be rushed in each scene with little emotion from all the 'personalities' and that's me being generous. Its not a repeat viewing,its a 'turn on for background noise' film.(Now that I think about it,this would've made for a tolerable podcast🤔)

I'm a bit of a psychology nerd, so I decided to give this a shot. A bit campy and cheesy, yes. But surprisingly a great take on the psychological theories of 'Internal Family Systems' and 'Personality Fragmentation' using the RomCom format, and terms the average person recognizes like multiple personalities, even though its existence is hotly debated.

Found it to be a welcome break from all the horror and thriller movies constantly villanizing people with mental illness. Highly recommend the book 'No Bad Parts by Dr. Richard C. Schwartz' to anyone who enjoyed this.

If they actually do the sequel, I really hope they introduce an IFS therapist character, instead of the hypnotherapist guy, and really explore all the different personality fragments, and get to the source of the trauma, which led to her fragmentation. Would be fun to really see her get better and become a more functional and integrated person.

Every single character is a stereotype with no personality and no chemistry. You have the awkward and unloved lead, his aggressive boss, the manic pixie dream girl with the overly aggressive black friend, the country girl with the country accent, the overtly sexual kinkster in a punk band, and the list goes on. None of these characters have ANY chemistry and it makes every single interaction painful to watch.

Every piece of dialogue is a fumble that completely misses the mark it's aiming for. Scenes that aim to be funny are stifled by the fact that none of these characters fit together. Even scenes that are meant to be heartwarming or dramatic feel over-acted. The dialogue isn't funny or interesting, it's just deeply awkward.

There is nothing redeemable about this movie and if you are someone who experiences secondhand embarassment, you should avoid it. Save your money and watch something else.

My Favorite Girlfriend is a fun little enjoyable film. Really nice performances by the leads, Tyler Johnson and Bonnie Piesse. Both show the real and vulnerable sides of their characters as they maneuver in the world they live in, internally and externally.

Every single supporting character is strong and adds something to the story. Good casting all around.

An interesting quirky storyline with lots of funny-fun comedic elements along with some nice heartfelt moments. It's a sweet and amusing story that is well written and directed by Amanda Raymond. The story flows along and is paced nicely.

My Favorite Girlfriend is a cute Comedy Romance that works.

The acting was stiff and uncomfortable. The plot was predictable. Why did someone make this ? I feel like there was no heart in this. It was rushed, tacky and the main lead actress lacked basic skills. I would pass on this one.
