Winstead surprises

Nina Geld (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is a troubled standup comic in New York City. She's in an abusive sexual relationship with married obsessive cop Joe (Chace Crawford). She finally decides to escape to Hollywood to audition for a comedy show. She lives with weird west coast type Lake (Kate del Castillo). She gets picked up by nice guy Rafe (Common).I really like the New York part of the movie. It's dark and troubled. Nina is damaged and Winstead is better than expected. I like her standup. While it's not truly funny, it does highlight her anger issues. Then she heads out to the west coast. Lake is a Hollyweird stereotype. I can live with her. The more problematic character is Rafe. Common is playing too straight and nice. In a way, he's too bland and the initial meeting is a little creepy. The movie tries to do something with Ganja but that actress is doing a comedy bit. Rafe also has some false notes injected into him. The punch feels like a fake incident intended on generating drama. If it wants to do real drama, Joe would get his police brothers to put Rafe in jail. I am a little uncertain about this movie like Larry Michaels. It's a compelling character study. Winstead surprised me with her performance.

This is a Drama About a Comedian Not a Dark Comedy

This movie was alright, it featured strong performances from the lead actors but ultimately ends up falling short of its potential.It has a few chuckles throughout but plays out as more of a romantic drama than any form of an actual comedy. By trying to navigate between multiple genres, it loses potency in both.Also, while Mary Elizabeth Winstead does an excellent job in her role, Nina is written as such a profoundly unlikeable character that it makes it somewhat difficult to empathize with her even after the big twist.Common also does a great job with his role but his character comes across as more of a Dogged Nice Guy trope than a realistic depiction of a person.
