Theodore R Sep 10, 2017 A great secondary cast could not save this movie. The focus on Amy was like watching a rat in a maze that wouldn't learn no matter how many times it hit the wrong button and got shocked instead of getting the cheese. She is unlikable except in a very forced fashion. Yes, the point of the movie is that she has no experience and has lived a very sheltered life but then she is practically praised for it rather than condemned. Every moment that should be a learned experience instead fuels her to continue on her self-delusional path. Again the supporting cast were fantastic and really helped to add some reality and grounding to this otherwise unbelievable and unrelatable story. Emma Roberts did fine with what she was given, which wasn't much. I most blame the directing and script which spent %98 of the film doing pretty much nothing then giving everyone the undeserved win in the last %2. There was no real conflict. No growth. No expectations for growth either. I kept hoping the focus of the movie would pivot to any of the far more interesting side characters. Alas, it dragged on (ha!) with Amy throughout her temper-tantrums and failures to learn anything from very teachable moments. This was not a good film, despite decent elements and the tongue-in-cheek fashion the supporting cast treated the main character like they were all in on the joke... except the joke wasn't very funny or well thought out to begin with.

Leia R Mar 19, 2017 A young woman just out of college is forced to face the facts of life: she is not going to be famous as she wants, when she wants. Simply a coming-of-age story without anything to differentiate it from the tons of others except the inoffensive characters within. John Cusack wonders very nearly onscreen as to his presence in this. See more
