Save for an overdependence on neon lighting, a general misunderstanding of how entertainment journalism works, and perhaps more alcohol consumption than is responsible for a film sure to be watched by teen girls and young women, Someone Great is a heartfelt and hilarious first feature with ample female talent.

Although the characters tend to lean heavily on caricature, Rodriguez, Wise, and Snow seem to have plenty of chemistry with each other.

É incrível o quanto a Gina se dedica ao seu trabalho, qualquer trabalho que vc dá a ela ela vai dar o máximo de si, e isso é simplesmente incrível. O filme tem uma história ótima, souberam desenvolver o filme perfeitamente.

It's a romcom, but it also twists the genre around a little bit and focuses on a girl recovering from a breakup with someone she loved, rather than falling in love with someone new. It was funnier than I expected, and I enjoyed every bit of it.

The hooks on which Someone Great chooses to hang its emotional hats are a little clichéd, but Rodriguez, Snow and Wise have enough chemistry to pull it all off.

To make a great romantic comedy, you need a few key components. Stylish direction. Winning lead actors. Likable, lived-in characters. And some kind of unique angle on the well-trod genre at hand. Someone Great offers all of that and more, but it also proves that one of the most important and least appreciated aspects of a successful rom-com is a great script.

The wit of Robinson’s series still occasionally peeks out in Someone Great, especially when her central trio are interacting, but smushed into a 92-minute running time, little of the best bits can actually breathe.

Despite fine performances from Gina Rodriguez and Lakeith Stanfield, the debut film from Jennifer Kaytin Robinson never strays from the genre’s cliches.

Like sitting in the dentist waiting room. Takes forever and not at all satisfactory.

This movie was so predictable and the character Jen came off to me more like a high school girlfriend than A grown women who has a job and lives on her own. She cried for everything and then would try to act like she was all good, even making her friends “SKIP”work to be with her. Need I say more? It made me forget they were young adults and took me back to high school drama days
