Still, the film lightly prods at universal truths: women have to be perfect if they want to be seen as electable, special interests have a decided vote in our elections, and concessions are often a part of negotiating international treaties.

James C. Strouse is swiftly becoming one of my favorite indie directors and writers with the inclusion of this Jessica Williams star vehicle.

Somewhat out of the blue he decides that he fancies Kendrick, and she him, and they wander around New Orleans becoming best buddies.
