I was fortunate enough to catch this film at the New Orleans Film Festival. I didn't really know what to expect going into the film, I knew Shannon Plumb (the director) was the wife of Derek Cianfrance, but that was about all I knew of the film. I'm happy to say the film had me rolling with laughter. Shannon Plumb has amazing comedic timing, and her physical comedy is gold. In addition to it's humor the film also has a very realistic feel to it. In fact, the film is tough to watch at times there is a certain bitter reality, that we only can face with humor. However, Plumb is a natural because whenever you start to feel like you need to turn away, she throws another joke at you. I cannot recommend the film enough, it's very real, and very funny.
