This movie has lots of low points. It's story isn't great, the acting ranges from fine to terrible and it was obvious shot on a show string budget but it's biggest issue is the characters.
I can say I didn't like one character in this movie. The lead woman is such a push over, her best friend seems like a nightmare person, the children are awful but the worst is the lead man.
Jesus Christ this character is a disaster. He is so unlikable and I guess that's the point but then it frustrates you because the other lead forgives him for unforgivable things. He constantly blows hot and cold for no reason. He can literally say something and then the next sentence is a complete 180 of what he just said. He acts like a 18 year old when he is pushing 50. Like parts of his character could make him interesting if it was clearer how the movie felt about him. Because I felt that from the leads second meeting I would have ran for the hills.
This movie is only 1 hour and 10 minutes long which is super short and I normally like short films but I feel like an extra couple of minutes could have been used to flesh out some of the characters before getting into the main story. We are thrown in the deep end with these people without knowing anything about them. The best friend sets her up on a date and we don't even get to meet her until half way through the films. Nothing is developed.
It also took it upon its self to deal with Social issues in such a strange way. It will have people make choices about pregnancy and then have other characters scream at them that they are making wrong decisions when it is absolutely nothing to do with them, then they will quickly go back on what they have said because every character in this movie has no motivation for anything apart from the script telling them What to do.
The writer also thought giving characters one 'quirk' made up for underwriting them. The lead loves brushing her teeth...? The other lead loves surfing. I just wrote their character descriptions for you in a sentence.
So I would say don't watch it because I just ended up being Frustrated by it. It could have been cute if they had just spent a bit more time on the script.
