A reflection on...
1 October 2020
... what could, should, should not and everything in between.

I've come across this film at a pivotal time in my life. The reason for watching is my love for Andy Samberg & Rashida Jones, from their performances in various films and series but mainly from my love of comedy; Brooklyn 99 and Parks & Recreation respectively.

The story isn't complicated nor is it profound. However for me at this exact moment in my fleeting existence it struck a tone. A tone of reflection.

This is not feel good film. Underneath the basic storyline and barely 2d character portrayals is a vast emotional journey of remorse, regret, happiness lost and a lasting message that life goes on with or without your blessing.

Samberg, Jones et al. cannot be criticised for their performances. Nor can I award great accolade. For me the message and the inspiration comes from the screen okay. You need to be at a certain cross road in your life to fully appreciate what this film has to offer.

I have found inspiration in it. Others I imagine may find it uneventful or 'boring'

It captures an emotion and a time almost all of us will go through in life. Bear that in mind.
