Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. This is one was a little spoiled for me as I heard a podcast discussion on the real story, and then the slightly refined comedy routine on it. Seeing those things come to life as a movie, I kind of knew the whole plot, which is just how it is w ... ith real life stories. While I'm super happy Iliza got to have her story told, there was an opportunity to turn this into something spectacularly absurd. ("Tusk" was also based off a real story, from a discussion on a podcast but I'm still waiting on "Moose Jaws" (It's "Jaws", but with a moose.), so who knows.) I think this is a great "chick flick", a great "woman empowerment" movie, and good venture into....not sure what to call it, an "anti-romantic comedy"? I'm honestly hoping we get more movies with this sort of structure.
