I was quite enjoying this and its slice-of-life vibe, before it just petered out into nothingness, without any real resolution or satisfaction.
Jemaine Clement was great in the few scenes he was in. He plays a bad guy quite effectively. Gillian Jacobs was the one who made the film watchable though - she brought a realism and humour to things which elevated certain scene. She shared some great chemistry with Josh Wiggins.
Oddly enough, it was Tall Brandon (Brandon Daley) and Hugo's Mom (Jennifer Joan Taylor) which stole the show and had the best chemistry. Equal parts heartwarming and hilarious, the film could have done with more such moments.
This could have been something really special and is most definitely summed up by its (abrupt) final line: "could have been better".
