My Favorite Girlfriend

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.

Seriously I wish I had not watched this movie. Once I start something though I have to finish it. It was very cringey and played into boring stereotypes. Learn from my mistakes and suffering, do not bother with this.

There really isn't much to like about this film. The acting is stiff, the pacing is weird. I'm not sure if the directing was off or if it was the writing (leaning toward the writing). The overarching voice goes for funny, but it's just annoying. I didn't believe any interaction in the movie. It felt very much like a student film, which - maybe it was?

The leads were frustrating and unlikable. When you first meet the guy I think they're going for him being a himbo, but you have to be likable to be a himbo. The first time we meet the woman, Molly, she is rude and self absorbed and it's supposed to be cute? It's not. The dialogue was super odd. I don't know if the writer knows how anyone actually talks - because no one speaks like that.

"You're lucky I don't condone violence." "You're lucky I didn't drink milk growing up." Hahahahaha......... no.

Honestly, if you're on the fence about watching this, it's completely passable. You aren't missing a single thing. I would give this a 0/10 if I could.

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.

At first you think you're viewing a romcom.. and you are. But then, it takes it's twists and turns. Conrad is a blank slate that the movie builds on. You don't know much about him until you see him interact with the other characters and the female lead. His journey to help someone else ends up helping him, too.

The buddy scenes are hilarious and the pizza chef, Regina brings so much sass. The lighthearted way she jokes with the staff/owners is perfectly balanced with the serious subject of the film. It's the right amount of LOL's and AWWW's The final scene leaves us wanting to know "what's next!!??"
