Lady-Like (2017)
2/10
Pointless movie, not worth your time

Warning: Spoilers
I finished this movie thinking, "... okay?" It had no impact on me whatsoever, I was left wondering what the point of the movie was, and I'm definitely going to forget about it.

The main character, Allie, is so unlikeable. They try to make her relatable but she's just rude, inconsiderate, lazy, and mean. Pushing people off of benches, disrespecting professors for no reason - she's not even in her first year of college and she's so immature. And the fact that she relies on her best friend, Kort, for everything is ridiculous, like she can't even get ready without her? Grow up.

The way she helps her friend get a boyfriend and then gets jealous about it makes no sense. And her friend isn't any better for ignoring her after getting a boyfriend. What really baffled me is the "breakdown" Allie has where she gets drunk and harassed Kort and her boyfriend and then falls in the garbage. And then Kort tells her she doesn't have a boyfriend because she's "lazy" and suddenly Allie has a life-changing mindset and changes her life around from night to morning. It just seemed super rushed to me, literally nothing happened in this movie. And don't get me started how half of the movie was just Kort getting a boyfriend; based on the synopsis I thought the movie would be more about Allie and not Kort. But that got way too much screen time and the rest was just way too rushed.

The other characters were super shallow and weren't really funny at all. I didn't mind the vulgarity of the movie but do college girls really talk like this? It was obviously made by a man who doesn't understand women and just makes Allie a boy-crazy jealous mess with no morality. She's not 13 years old.

I gave this 2 stars instead of 1 because I wasn't bored enough to ditch the movie mid-way, but honestly it was a waste of time, not memorable, and just ridiculous.
