    Great Movie

    Loved this movie. It's very funny and takes you into Susan world. Pure escapism to a very simple place. It's also acted very well. Bring in part 2.

    Oddball quirky comedy

    I thought this was actually quite a funny movie. I didn't realise the states had people who sat home all day on benefits...but was genuinely funny. Brief and different. Not sure what people expect....for some reason I just kept thinking of Napoleon dynamite. Had that feel to it

    So bad it's sort of good?

    It's like it was supposed to be bad... so does that mean that they nailed it? The fact that a dude is playing a woman and the whole thing is not at all explained anywhere in the movie and everyone acts as if it really is a woman... I can't. I mean, that's funny!

    Allison Janey - my favorite! She should have had a lot more scenes in this!!

    But Susan... oh, Susan. What can we say about Susan. The sad part is that I know people like that in real life so it's not even just a character in a movie. This is literally a documentary about someone's life.

    But let's be real. If you see the poster or the trailer you pretty much know what you're getting yourself into. Don't be disappointed if you get a B-rated trashy comedy. That's what this was intended to be.

    Cute and Short

    This movie isn't going to be like some ground breaking, life changing movie. It's a indie comedy.

    It's totally fine. Is it the funniest thing ever? No definitely not. Are there some laughs scattered through out? Yeah.

    I thought Sean Hayes was fine in this role. Sometimes the lines were a bit naff but then other time's they were funny. I think it was the delivery that help the lines out.

    Not tons happen in this movie so people could get board.

    I used this word a lot in this review but my perfect way to describe it is "fine".

    Quirky Sense

    I understand the premise way too well. Unmotivated, unrealistic expectations for yourself, and then reality kicks in and it too late to fix the lost years that got away. Has its funny moments but the script was lacking, a little in backstory, as to the how she ended up with such a dreadful, meaningless life.

    • Trivia
      A transgender person is someone who identifies as a gender other than the one assigned to them at birth. A cisgender person is someone who identifies as the gender that was assigned to them at birth. A drag queen, or 'doing drag', is simply someone dressing up as a gender other than the one they identify as, but has nothing to do with their personal gender identity.

      People have a difficult time understanding these concepts, Often times people assume that if a cisgender actor is portraying a different gender than the one they are in real life they are automatically either playing a drag queen or a transgender person. Because of this the film's producers went out of their way in press releases and promotion to clarify that the character of Susan is a cisgender woman who happens to be portrayed by a cisgender man.
