Extraordinary to me that a male character can be written in 2023 with absolutely zero redeeming features (selfish, angry, aggressive, mean, dangerous, degrading, manipulative, slovenly, suicidal) and the single mid-forties female lead is prepared to blanket accept all of that behaviour rather than be alone. Sad.

Thank God for the excellent Dolly Parton soundtrack because it gave me something good to listen to while the movie was on and I played Candy Crush to make the time pass quicker. I had high hopes for bittersweet, engaging, humourous, authenticity. I didn’t get that. Not even Jennifer Aniston could rescue this.
