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. she rushes back, and pretty much invites herself to stay with Eric and Celeste (Nick Thune and Britt Lower). it's so awkward. and all her own fault. clearly, Emily never got over Eric. He and Celeste are totally charming, and Emily keeps screwing up what could be a good friendship with them. the first half moves pretty slowly... and every single thing she does is terribly important, and a huge deal. she's so emotional. she needs counseling or something. about an hour in, Emily gets drunk, comes onto Eric, and tries to put down the new girlfriend. but he's not having it. he finally tells her off, which she needed desperately. it just gets more and more painful to watch. Emily totally goes off the rails and is having a breakdown. or maybe just too many klonopin. did all this really happen in her life? i hope not. or maybe parts of it, and she pieced it together and embellished. who knows?
