I was excited to watch this as I love Richard Linklater. But, is this a romantic comedy? Is this a drama? Is this an action film? Is this a soft core porn? It hits on all these things but Exactly, what is this?! Initially, I was so happy about Glen Powell being in it and turns out, he is actually a nerdy looking guy. He's definitely not the future of pretty boy actors - in my opinion. If this movie becomes wide spread, it might destroy his career. The story was all over the place. I looked at my watch a lot and was really glad when it was over. Retta was wonderful and I just wanted to yell, "Treat Yourself!" every time she was on screen because seeing her was a treat to me. It was just ok but I never want to see it again and hopefully I'll forget I watched it next week. Courtroom scenes were funnier than the whole movie.

Not a fan of jazz so take note that if you love jazz, this is for you. Had no clue Emma Stine could sing. Storyline was sad and made me want to cry but just goes to show that life is fill of ups and downs. It is very slow in the beginning - I wanted to stop watching it numerous times but kept plowing through. I can see why it won awards just not all that. A little long and again, the music.? Ick. The male lead is a wonderful actor and doesn't get enough credit. Seems he's looked over in everything he's in except Barbie. This is probably what it's like to be an actor in Hollywood - a tough life.
