Good enough watch, could watch again, and can recommend. I'm not a big fan of Malin Ackerman, but she manages to a great job in this, floating back and forth between personalities as the character tries to find herself. Kat Dennings' character is a little annoying, but she seems to have fun wi ... th it. This is the movie that makes me realize that I hate Chelsea Peretti and she was barely tolerable on "Brooklyn Nine-Nine". This movie is made for a very particular audience, and if I have try to deduce what that is, then it is likely women with trouble lives, in family or love. It's a fun roller coaster of every bad Thanksgiving story you've heard of, but possibly from more affluent people with normal problems that don't actually affect their lives realistically. This really is a good enough, but I feel it is right on the edge.
