Pretty Problems

What a delight. Living in the Bay Area, about an hour from Sonoma, I recognized many of the characters in my day-to-day life in the movie. The out of touch tech millionaires, the miserable corporate grunts (that's me), the drunk sorority girls, check! Let's not forget the shaman. As far fetched as the plot is, the characters are weirdly relatable, even the ultra rich when they're being level and vulnerable (Matt in the pool). The dialogue is current, and some of the banter felt so real, like I'm listening to a conversation at a neighborhood bar.

The movie reminded me of Crazy Rich Asians, but for white people. Some of the critics pointed out the lack of diversity, but that's precisely what it's like in the rich circles of Marin/Sonoma counties.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this movie buried deep in my Hulu recommendations. If you're looking for a witty escape comedy, this is your movie. I will definitely be re-watching it. Finished it an hour ago and still have a smile on my face. So much so, I'm compelled to write my first ever IMDB review!

While this movie has a lot of heart, I laughed out loud through most of it! The characters are so unique and funny! My heart went out to Lindz and Jack because they had no idea what they were getting into when they accepted the invitation to vacation with people who are so rich they have lost touch with reality, but not with the same human problems that tie all the classes together. I rooted for Lindz and Jack and really wanted them to come together in the end (no spoilers!). Overall, this movie is so entertaining and I will definitely watch it multiple times - it's just that good! It's "Bridesmaids" funny!

I streamed this soley because of the very high 7.1 rating. Too ad the ratings must be fake because this movie is horrible.

It's tediously slow and not anchored in any reality whatsoever.

The characters are cardboard curouts at best. Nothing real there either Ten minutes in I was border out of my mind.

I've noticed there are a lot of these movies being released lately. Very cheaply made and directed like a TV movie from the 70's and that's not a compliment.

I had a very hard time getting through the film. Just wasnt into the sotory or the phony poorly drawn characters.

I sure do wish something could be done about phony reviews.

Movie location - three/four/five years ago, this region had weird wildfires that burned wineries and took out hundreds of houses. It is great this film captures the beauty that remained and is regaining in Sonoma County California.

The actresses are fun to watch on screen - they are entertaining as flappers. The plot has a little tension, as a viewer considers what will culminate from the plot swings one might anticipate. But what a viewer might expect at the coming climax is creatively passed on to an elegant simple conclusion.

The conversations are garish examples of some of the chat that - on occasion - can actually occur in Sonoma / Napa. So the parody was kinda entertaining. The lead "Jack" is well played by the show runner.

Pretty, weird, funny, beautiful farce - spin up with skill and levity. So happy to have encountered this film.

Ripe with potential gushy gush, let's cut to the cheese: Pretty Problems seizes the class differentiation and marital sneeze smorgasbord with its clusters of dry jammy juicy and spicy.

Written, directed and acted with giggly panache, there was one ironic characteristic about Pretty Problems I'm not sure I could say about any other movie: Thank God I watched it streaming on a laptop, in bed next to my wife who had already seen it. Because I was laughing so hard and so often it would have ruined a theater screening unless it was a laughter yoga crowd.

The rewind 10 seconds button had a record setting number of punches, after the cheek wipes and OMG fits had subsided.

Just binged The White Lotus and it would make a fine pairing for this deliciously persnickety weekend of what happens when the posh pool and the couple poo collide in Sonoma's wine country.

Congrats - so bright and pink!
