Cheeky title, but it's in the same ballpark. While I absolutely despised The Whale as a film, I found this one better done, even as an adult watching. It was relatable...life isn't all doom and gloom, and people who seem perfectly normal can be dying inside. And people near to those suffering always wish they'd have known, suffering people don't wear a cowbell. And this film catches that well, bouncing between joy and utter sadness.
It's a little corny at times, and not the best acted. It's also not completely unrealistic in any way, as I was worried where it was heading from the description. The description both here and on prime actually doesn't do it justice, it's a far deeper movie and the catfishing isn't all that relevant to the movie at large. But it doesn't pound the drama and negativity into your head like The Whale, it's a balanced look. Give it a watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon, you'll be glad you did.
