I didn't really enjoy it. There were a few moments where it felt good, but this film just doesn't work. Some performances try to carry this film but CRASH under the pressure.

this is interesting because the book is very good.
and the movie is basically verbatim.
so why is the movie bad?
it just translates from written to oral medium very poorly.
anyways picking up some extra shifts to regain my status as loser queen (Letterboxd premium)

I really like John Krasninski, but I do not like that he made this movie. I’m sure the book is fine (or even great) but this movie is icky.
