My Favorite Girlfriend

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.

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.

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've seen a lot of bad movies, but this is a special kind of bad. It's a romantic comedy that is neither comedic nor romantic. It's a collection of rough draft notes someone managed to stretch into an hour and a half long dumpster fire.

To kick off this wreck of a film, we introduce our main guy: Conrad. Conrad has no personality to speak of. He has no history either. He is a completely blank piece of paper who everyone is mean to for no reason, and he offers about as much to the plot as your average living room sofa. Outside of him having OCD (which is not plot relevant AT ALL and somehow doesn't seem to add any nuance to his character), Conrad has nothing discernible interesting about him.

And yet here he is, pursuing Molly - a woman he was weirdly hostile to once in a coffee shop while on an errand for his boss and now we have the setup for our movie. Molly is your average romance movie girl. She's blonde and a woman, but other than that she feels more like a doll than a person. Even her additional personalities are boring, one-dimensional cardboard cutouts with no depth to speak of.

And this is all without touching on the fact that the acting is abysmal. It's not even so bad it's funny. It's just plain painful to watch. Not a single line is delivered with any amount of believability. Honestly this feels like a deep learning program's first attempt at generating human interaction. It's awkward and disjointed and it's only made worse by the fact that NONE of these characters have chemistry. I'm not even sure Conrad and Molly would make good friends, let alone romantic partners.

All in all, it's terrible. Bad acting, bad setup, and a bad premise that does a major disservice to OCD and DID. Don't waste your time or money.
