Someone Great

Someone Great is a romantic comedy starting Gina Rodriguez, LaKeith Stanfield, Brittany Snow and DeWanda Wise. When Jenny Young, played by Gina, experiences a devastating breakup, she connects with her girlfriends to have one last memorable night in New York before her big move cross country.

I thought that the plot was a realistic, mature, coming-of-age story. I was entertained the entire time and found it to be one of the few Netflix films that was great all the way though. It was able to showcase the complexities of falling in and out of love, growing up and moving on.

The script full of humor and heart. The acting from the cast was engaging, they all held their own. I also enjoyed how diverse the cast was, it felt like a proper reflection of New York and today's world in general. I even enjoyed the fun cameo from Ru Paul. The character development was also well done, you really connect with each of the characters, especially the 3 female leads. They do a great job of showcasing friendship and empowerment. Additionally, I found the soundtrack to be appropriate for the time and setting; it was fun and eclectic.

Overall this was a well made movie. If you are looking for an honest, heart-warming, hilarious film, this is the one for you.
