Okay, so I know this is an oldie, but I don't really get round to watching certain films so I've decided to dedicate small parts of my free-time to catching up on some; so you might see a few more oldie mini reviews floating around on this here blog.
This film was so not what I expected it to be, maybe if I had watched the trailer I might have got some sense of what it was actually about. I totally thought it was gonna be on the same track as 13 Going on 30 (which I also have not seen).
Mavis Gary, a thirty-something ghost writer for a fading young adult fiction series; decides to return home to a small town in Minnesota to win back her married high school sweetheart (who has also just had a baby), you can only imagine the chaos that ensues; cue to many cringey moments where you just wanted her to close her mouth, get back into her Mini Cooper and go home.
It was an alrightish film, but it wasn't really for me. I found it to be quite slow at times and found certain moments too much to watch (in the is she really gonna do this sense). However, the build up of the friendship with former classmate Matt gave the film some redeeming qualities.
