Loved this movie!

Not just for the genuine performances, especially from its lead Wendi McLendon-Covey, but in the way life just seems to "happen" to her. As crazy and effed-up things become, none of it seems implausible or unnatural which is quite a feat to pull off. You almost even sympathize for Cathy because all of the questionable and unethical situations she gets herself involved in don't seem to be something she intentionally initiated or wanted -- or that she can even be blamed for. I can really see how each occurrence led to the next without straining credibility. And the supporting cast all are fleshed out enough that they seem like real people you can relate to, and none of their behavior and actions seem over the top or unrealistic either under the circumstances. To create a story where the plot gets so convoluted and inane yet at the same time seems like a natural progression of innocent events is what had me imagining myself in her shoes and laughing out loud alone.

McLendon-Covey's performance in the occasional role of Liz (ironically a lady who adores cats) on "Rules Of Engagement" was priceless and memorable, and many now know her for her lead role on 1980's-era sitcom "The Goldbergs" of course.

Max Burkholder has that quirky disposition that made the character of Xander shine, and Christine Woods as Gemma Jean, Kate Alberts as Tara and Steve Little as Matthew all turned in convincing performances as well.

This is a gem I would have easily missed if not for regularly browsing new DVD/streaming movies of note on Rotten Tomatoes during this ongoing coronavirus quarantine.
