I really enjoyed this! It a very solid character-driven, quirky, small (in a good way) comedy.
This movie's humor comes from a real & relatable place. Being a human is hard. Interacting with other humans can make it easier and more uncomfortable. Now, try doing it all over zoom. The bits are ramped up for effect (of course) but not so much that it feels silly.
The cast is great all around. They commit to the humanity in their characters- which makes the more absurd moments land harder (and funnier). Everyone, even those with less screen time, has a moment that made me laugh out loud.
Given just how much content is out there- it feels like everything tries to be big for the sake of standing out. Big jokes, big plot, big twists - I like that this one felt comfortable living in those smaller, relatable spaces. It didn't make it any less funny or fun to watch.
Last thing- I really appreciated that the overall outlook of this movie is optimistic without being saccharine. Everything isn't tied up in a bow but you walk away feeling good. Haracter-driven, quirky, small (in a good way) comedy.
