The real star of this movie is...

...not Julia Louis Dreyfus. It is Michaela Watkins. She steals every scene she is in. Her quirky snarks and well-timed delivery really stuck out to me.

Overall it was a comedic drama about how we sugar-coat our real feelings when talking to our loved ones, and where to draw the line between being honest and being considerate. I appreciated how that theme was carried through on a few different age levels in the movie, and how age dictates how honestly blunt a person can be and get away with it.

I thought the movie was good. I love Julia Louis Dreyfus but I simply did not love the somewhat needy character that she played. We all know someone like that, tho, right?, so it felt very relatable.

Michaela Watkins, though, was too funny. I hope to see her in more and more roles in the future.
