An extended episode of Insecure…but make it dry and mean.

I chuckled throughout and really liked the gag of no one (but Bradford) being able to tell when Zadie was joking. The character of Margo and Zadie’s mom is why I mention the mean aura around this film, but I lowkey respect being able to see an intentionally-unlikeable black female character as the protagonist. Where that “meanness” is not the plot device of something she has to overcome…it’s ✨refreshing✨

However, the set up was so lazy, it was difficult to suspend my disbelief in the top half. It makes little to no sense why Bradford would suggest bringing his new girlfriend along OR why Zadie would agree to it considering the state of mind we see her in. For a short runtime, it was fine, but not something I see myself hyping up or recommending.
