I am too ancient it seems to know who Addison Lee is but she's no Freddie PJ. This lack of context meant I thought the bizarre hyper unrealism of her acting was going to be revealed as a plot point. What a grave misconception to imagine this film had anything like so much substance. I won't spoil anything in case anyone is mad enough to be reading these reviews and still watch, but I am about to take a long hard look in the mirror for making it through this film without throwing up.
Oddly however this did pass the Kermode six laugh test for me, a one liner from an underused elderly relative woke me up and laughter of at least five times the duration emerged during the denouement. Not sure if that counts actually, please don't bother. As for the preposterous physique of the "loser" leading man and patronising nods towards diversity I have no words. Oh a kardashian pops up.
