“I was expecting a roll-on-the-floor comedy. After all, itu0026#39;s Kristin Wiig, and Will Ferrell as a producer.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt starts off funny enough. A woman obsessed with Oprah Winfrey feels screwed over in her past, but wins the lottery and wants to have her own talk show.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut it turns into an analysis of a u0026quot;mental issueu0026quot; and the diagnosis that goes along with that.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think everyone has issues – but when you give these issues names then you marginalize u0026amp; categorize people that further push people into little boxes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBy the end, I was moved to tears. This movie is so worth watching. But itu0026#39;s not the SNL-type skit you might be expecting.”
