It’s a comedy caper that follows Jamie, played by Margaret Qualleyan, an uninhibited free spirit bemoaning yet another breakup with a girlfriend. Her demure friend Marian, played by Geraldine Viswanathan, desperately needs to loosen up.
You might have seen Viswanathan in Natalie Krinsky’s The Broken Hearts Gallery, where she wears the same angst expression. The film also stars Dacre Montgomery of Netflix’s Stranger Things.

For documentary-maker and dating app addict Zoe, played by Lily James, swiping right has only delivered an endless stream of Mr. Wrongs. Yet, her eccentric mother, Cath, played by Emma Thompson, shows dismay.
For Zoe’s childhood friend and neighbor Kaz, played by Shazad Latif, the answer is to follow his parents’ example and opt for an arranged (or “assisted”) marriage to a bright and beautiful bride from Pakistan.

Poking fun at a mental health patient is not very kind and has nothing to do with a story about “anyone” can find success in the film business. The storyline steals from The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain.
Let’s find movies that expose the atrocities psychiatrists administer to these poor people in the name of “help.”
