The cast is cool, look forward to this supposed to be hilarious dark comedy.

Fixed the name snafus — there were just a couple. Btw, the press notes refer to Janney\’s character as Cathy not Carol.

As for that last line, guy, I\’m on no sleep and been writing reviews like mad. You\’re lucky I didn\’t say \”The Oranges is squeezed into some tasty comedy juice!\”

I thought the original script was very contrived and forced, a blown opportunity on a good idea. I sure hope they did serious rewrites because I just didn\’t buy it the first time around.

This review is riddled with errors. Allison Janney\’s character is named Carol. It\’s Carol who transparently wants Nina to hook up with Toby not Paige. And it\’s Nina and David who commit to their relationship, not Paige and David.

There\’s probably more.

The movie was hilarious thanks to the amazing comedic timing of the cast BUT the storyline didn\’t feel realistic to me.
