The director/writer plays the lead character who is a timid Jewish man with anxiety and OCD and I will say he plays him well. Basically the whole plot is he’s an idiot chud who lands a nanny job with this rich family and ends up having a semi affair with the wife. But this was done in the most boring and bland way ever. Also this movie labeled as a “comedy” has maybe 2 kinda funny moments. One happens 2 minutes into the movie when the guy is at therapy and says he can’t stop thinking Jewish slurs when he sees a Jew. The other is every moment that Sheng Wang is on screen which is about 3 minutes.

An actually quote from the movie “That’s so Goyish of you.” Referring to someone day drinking.

The way I kind of feel like throwing up after watching this. Really digging into the “why” of that could maybe tell me a lot about my own psyche.

Amanda Peet was wonderful. I really enjoyed the writing. Sam made me want to scream he was stressing me out so much. But also I would probably try to match with him on hinge.

Didn’t cry.

SO UNCOMFORTABLE!! That kissing scene had me melting into the floor from second-hand embarrassment.

Just boring. I liked it at the beginning because I thought it was charming and pensive but it's just too pensive. Too slow. Too quiet. It drags out scenes to three times longer than they need to be, and every moment is stiff or empty or awkward. The characters are likeable or at least interesting in theory but flat in execution. It doesn't help that it's supposed to be a romance but doesn't actually have any romantic chemistry or even real romantic scenes aside from one extremely dry and awkward makeout scene. I wouldn't waste my time with this one.
