I Gave it Two Cringes
13 December 2021
You know what's funny? Not funny ha-ha, but funny as in weird: the idiot brother, Ned (Paul Rudd), was the most sane and likeable character in this mudpie. I didn't finish watching because it was largely about his three sisters and their problems which I had no interest in. With the exception of Arabella (Janet Montgomery) every woman in this movie was repulsive. As for the sisters: Liz (Emily Mortimer) was a mess of a housewife with a philandering husband, Natalie (Zooey Deschanel) was a lesbian who cheated and got pregnant (I don't know if that constitutes as double cheating or single cheating, she cheated on her female partner and she cheated on lesbianism), and Miranda (Elizabeth Banks) is a gossip columnist who published some things told to her in confidence.

I may not be enlightened enough for this movie. This type of comedy wasn't for me. I gave it a legitimate shot even after I was cringing. I gave this movie two cringes, which I think is generous, so on the third cringe I was out.
