“The two main characters were excellent. The over-the-top writing for the mother, pushy investor, idiot front desk clerk, drunk chef, strange celebrity person and crew…ugh… Just too much. I fast-forwarded through most of the movie except where the main characters interacted. This could have been so much better.”
