Spoiler --Written, directed, AND starring Noel Wells. Emily (Noel Wells) returns to her hometown of Austin 'when "her" cat (now her ex Eric's cat) gets sick.
Basically Bridesmaids but with even fewer jokes. Do not waste the precious hours of your life on this miserable, neurotic dirge.
I feel sorry for people making such movies!!
You have an opportunity to make a movie, and this is what you come up with? Yet another movie where an immature young woman who creates her own "problems" is supposed to interest us.
Wells is a little comedic genius, where has she been hiding?She wrote, directed and starred in this tale of a single woman in Hollywood who returns home to Austin, which alone is impressive, but she also does spot-on impressions of Holly Hunter and Kristen Wiig.
So this is a film about a lady who leaves without notice her boyfriend and her cat behind as she relocates across country. Months maybe a year later she gets news her cat passed away, so she travels back across country to pay her condolences to a cat she ditched and left behind..
Screw the other reviews that say "Pointless from the get go". It isn't an SNL alumni movie, it's a filmmakers movie.
I went into this because it seemed like a cute little film, and it was. It's not flawed or that amazing, but it's super enjoyable and funny, and it has a super hilarious actress in the lead role.
"Mr. Roosevelt" is about a young woman, a struggling actress and comedian, who spends most of the film acting like a petulant teenager.
