Could have been better... Could have been worse. These are signatured actors who signed, sealed, and delivered this movie with the same charm that is unique to each actor. Anytime natasha lyonne and Clea Duvall are together doing anything, it's gonna have some comedic moments. Seeing Melanie lynsky in the mix kinda gave me nostalgia for but I'm a cheerleader. Thought at first this was gonna be a sequel style romp, but turned out to be a well thought out and heartfelt storyline. This movie has real potential, however it does lack a few things that bring it just out of reach. For a first time endeavor on the part of Clea Duvall for writing and directing, you go girl! But for an avid movie watcher, there are things that so drag and lack.
If you don't have uber high expectations, this movie is quite charming, but if you want an epic Hollywood blockbuster or arthouse cult flick, then do not watch because you'll just be disappointed. However, if you have respect or adoration for the cast, give it a go, you won't be disappointed with their unparalleled charm. Enjoyable flick. Sidenote, miss duvall, if you read this, get summer Phoenix in on your next project.
