Real people going through real life problems. That's what this film felt like. Despite the short runtime, I felt connected to these characters by the end of it. I laughed, I cried, I felt annoyed. Such is life.
Some of the characters felt a bit too close to home. But I think that might just be the point. The Hollars could be any family out there, and here they were experiencing things we all do in life. Sometimes it's just kind of comforting to see others being normal human beings - even just in fictionalized movies.
If you're wanting an escape from every day life - this film probably isn't for you. Because it takes every day life and shoves it in your face, warts n' all. I wish the storyline took certain turns where it didn't, but that was out of my control - much like life itself is.
The often annoying Anna Kendrick was great in this, as were the rest of the cast.
"..the best thing you've ever done for me Is to help me take my life less seriously"
