I managed to catch this at the Toronto festival. Although it was funny (my wife was in hysterics), Wiig's character was the same as Bridesmaids. I'd suggest she does something different next time, otherwise she's in danger of being type cast as the 'poor me' lost 30 something, which ironically will grate the more success she has. Anyway, a reasonable 3 out of 5 movie.

We at Pure Sophistry were able to attend the screening as well, and found the movie (as you did) to be a little too sentimental in parts, but overly fantastic. Read our review here and see what you think! Nice work!

Christopher, you said Wiig could get a possible GG nod. What are her chances of that? Give me a percentage of 0% – 100%. I'm a huge fan of Wiig's by the way and Benning has always been a good actress. So I really want to check this out, do you have any clue when it'll be released in the US? Nice review btw
