It might be too generous to say that the caper dating Netflix is good on paper itself is a manifestation of the title. Still, pre-release, there is enough reason to at least label “good on paper“, an additional growing sub-streamer -Gene from women-frequency, and made comedy.
First, what is often interesting today about Netflix “original” is that the actual studio produces. It before being acquired (in this case, universal). Decorate it with the nuances and aesthetics of the original film.
Secondly, it was based on the true story of the life of the Comedian of Iliza Shlesinger.
The one he turned into a script gave cunningly gave him his first significant advantage. And also told the story of date from an authentic place, rather than leaning on a married broad stroke. The idea of what swiped, teasing and making love like in modern times.
Smlesinger’s ferocious and fast-paced comedy brands. While far from unique, often very funny. Fighting the ideas of misogynist women who are not “suitable”. As well as relatable bits in the Messier way.

Easily assessed we often act in relationships. Elements translate well for films about dating, something he discussed with a length on stage, but not good enough. Remembering how specific and funny he could be in standup, this film often felt a little cream and inexpensive compared.
Shlesinger plays Andrea, a fictional version of himself. A comic that ends up dating and sleeping with heat, but lightly, his name is like Kaden. On home flights one day, he met Dennis (Ryan Hansen), a co-passenger nerd but was friendly.
Which was nothing he usually did (physically, he compared it with “an accountant who loves missionaries”). They became a quick friend and finally turned into something more. But Andrea began to realize (together with the help of his friend, Margaret Cho. It might not be the person as he said.
A good story on paper is based on (Shlesinger says this film is about two third-thirds accurately).
It is the one who told about Podcasts Joe Rogan. And during a special central comedy. And it was an endless type of “and then” the story you would cicipati if shared with you directly. It was a little less effective on the screen. Primarily because in trying to force him into a broad comedy structure, he lost a few edges.
Comedy Shlesinger also became a little too mashed in the process. The film that played it was safe when we wanted it to be wild. There was a short blister, but no one approached watching it on stage. Where he had the freedom to go further, to take more risks. The sensation of freewheel to watch in the funniest displaced times.

The plot is connected with the moments of standup, a la Seinfeld.
This is again not funny as it should be, but do some more acute film observations like a little. About how a Singleton was told to feel grateful after a certain age to get a minimum.
As if something is Bad but is still better than not at all. Slesinger said that he was interested in punishing his character with a certain sense of togetherness. He often felt lost from the direction of women in comedy.
Who is fuckup in a way that feels too hard and reductive? And that he did it, neatly avoiding cliches and certain conventions (unlike Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck. There was no scent of the conservative slut which finally scored the film). However, we still did not know him quite well, and it was too difficult to understand.
Why will he fall in love with someone who is a collection of bright red flags blinking? Many of these went down to Hansen’s performance, which was too broad.
As if he had just walked from the Citkom TBS, which was cancelled in the 2000s. He never convinced us that he could attract anyone, especially a convincing, brilliant comedian.
Everything flows from the rail in the worst way:
In a chaotic final action because Slesinger creates a friendly way. And is ridiculous, the way to wrap, the truth of what happens. To pedestrians for his created framework.
