The humor is bleak and dejecting, yet funny in a darkly quirky way.

Falls flat on almost all counts, its one saving grace being Wiig herself -- an actress who appreciates the beauty of subtlety, and just about saves her latest movie from complete disaster.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 5, 2019

It's a balance that mostly works, though a final twist at the end introduces an odd tension that, while wacky, makes the film's climax feel somewhat uneven.

This is one of those movies that takes a potentially interesting character and then gives her a one-way ticket to Squaresville.

Full Review | Jul 13, 2017

Even great performances can't completely overshadow the film's formulaic nature.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 9, 2017

Crushingly unfunny, it's a must to avoid.

Full Review | May 5, 2015

A lot more entertaining than the majority of its critical raspberries would suggest.

Full Review | Jun 27, 2014

Berman and Pulcini -- American Splendor, The Nanny Diaries -- found a tone somewhere between tragedy and nonsense.

Full Review | Jan 6, 2014

What a disappointment.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 17, 2013

All in all, this is an extremely forgettable film that will more than likely drift from your memory as you're watching it. Then again, what would you expect from trying to build a film out of clichs and nonsensical pieces?

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 4, 2013

Even if you added a laugh track the tone is glum.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 11, 2013

A perfectly gauged performance by Wiig holds this ramshackle comedy-drama together, as she plays a woman forced to confront everything she has always hated about herself.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 4, 2013

Sometimes dysfunction just doesn't work.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 4, 2013

There are moments to make you honestly wish it were a better movie, and that the semi-autobiographical screenplay by Michelle Morgan didn't feel so much like a first draft.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 4, 2013

Once you get past Imogene's insufferableness, you'll find yourself rooting for her.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 3, 2013

Incidental at best, and a touch irksome at worst.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 29, 2013

The 'exoskeleton' subplot is as clunky a metaphorical experience as you will ever endure.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 27, 2013

Ultimately, this is a comedy that shows a lot of early promise but fails to deliver.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 27, 2013

The twinned themes of self-invention and self-loathing are redolent of Rushmore, Flirting With Disaster and Young Adult but Imogene's brand of narcissism has its own velocity.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 27, 2013

There's an over-reliance on Wiig's gift for ditzy, put-upon characters, although her charm wears thin, while the script veers between sit-com humour and pathos.
