![]() There's a scene with her father, played by Richard Roundtree, where he attempts to explain her behavior as an unintentional side effect of him not trusting people after his wife left. ![]() She was dishonest and manipulative and superficial and reckless. Through most of the movie she almost completely lacked guilt or remorse, was narcissistic and severely lacked empathy. In fact, it was a near perfect portrayal of a psychotic disorder. I like slapstick or over the top humor in measured doses as much as the next guy, but the way her character was portrayed felt more like a mixture of over acting, completely unbelievable behavior in the workplace, and borderline psychotic behavior. Teraji P Henson's is a favorite of ours but we found ourselves not even wanting to root for her character. My girlfriend and I were looking forward to seeing this. It's so sad that films like this get distributed when there are so many other worthy films out there that never the exposure. I tried to stay till the end but it was just so flat. If this was television, netflix or Prime you'd stop it or switch channels - unfortunately it's cinema so you feel compelled to stay to the end, sadly I couldn't I tried but in the end I had to walk out. There was little of any humour and as soon as she received her inevitable knock on the head you wished you'd also been knocked out and woke up in a different film ! The sex scenes were embarrassing and diabolical. This was no female version of Jerry McGuire yet it could have been - it could have been a film about female empowerment against a backdrop of male dominated sports agencies. Full of thinly disguised racism, homophobia, sexism and misogyny ![]() The script was awful full of stereotypes and cliches. I can't think of one redeeming feature of it ? ![]()
