Stephenson stages scenes with the static sensibility of a sketch comedy director, letting each performer roll with their respective odd duck performances. Go to Full Review

If you're a fan of Mr. Show and classic film noir, Girlfriend's Day will have you cracking up as it subverts the genre it's spoofing with loving glee. Go to Full Review

Film noir parody has violence, cursing, and sexual content. Go to Full Review

Girlfriend's Day is not a great film, but it occasionally works, especially due to Bob Odenkirk's performance at its heart. Go to Full Review

Stephenson has a rocky time bringing this alternate reality to life, if only because the premise at its core is such an inherently silly (and oddly specific) one. Go to Full Review

Harry R Mar 28, 2018 This film doesn't make any sense whatsoever, plain and simple. This film is almost a mash up of every genre you could think of, and balances them horribly. I don't even know what this film is or what it was intended to be. See more
Poe S Jun 29, 2017 Lauren%20 F, after doing some digging I found out that a company called CardsDirect.com produced most of the cards for the movie. All in all thought this was a pretty good flick. See more
Albus W May 26, 2017 About a writer, most a poet! At least it tried to be something fresh. The Netflix's experimental films giving great opportunities for small directors and stars. Not all the flicks clicks, but different than what we usually get from other production houses. So that's how I ended up watching it and its an appreciable effort, but the film was average. Although the end scene was really good, I mean that homeless person part. The film is about an infamous greeting card writer and tells how his professional life stumbles upon. While trying to make a comeback, he has to face a couple of trouble, including his unexpected romance and to keep up the promise he had made to a rich guy. Till the final scene they kept the momentums surrounding them both. So it feels like an intentional drag, since the whole film depended on those things and nothing else. Worth watching for Bob Odenkirk. The rest of the cast was not bad. Whatever the concept is, like, about a writer, kind of poet, but it avoids to exposing us the character how great he's with his work. So this is not a film with full details and should be watched without any expectation, or else better not think to pick it. 5/10 See more
Draco M May 12, 2017 Hilarious and quirky. Not unlike a comedic hybrid of Napoleon Dynamite and The Maltese Falcon. No idea why it isn't enjoying better ratings? Perhaps the old "made for TV" stigma lingers on in some form of misguided disdain for that which never required a ticket stub? If this is ever available for purchase, I will grab a copy. See more
George G Mar 12, 2017 This was better than I anticipated. What more can you expect from a film where greeting card writers are treated like royalty? Bizarre at times and offbeat, but enjoyable, thanks to a great performance from Bob Odenkirk. See more
Theodore S Mar 8, 2017 Enjoyed the movie because it was different, and the main character is relatable.
