A gem of a film that has only improved with age. Big laughs. Dark humor. Kristen Wiig in a role that suits her, unlike most of her studio pictures. Supporting cast of perfection, especially Joan Cusack and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

It’s funny to watch a talentless person rise to fame and get their way on everything in a TV show. She holds grudges against people who slighted her in her youth, and she seems to have no awareness for how foolish she is.

I checked this out because I like Tim Robbins and James Marsden. After watching this movie, I think I may be considered a 'sucker for punishment'. I'd advise against it.

I love women of comedy. They'll go to any length to make people laugh. Lucy will stuff her face with chocolates for a laugh. Molly Shannon will smell her armpits and risk breaking her bones falling on metal chairs for a laugh. Kristen Wiig…

Although painful to watch at times, I liked this film. It's kind of crazy, but that's the point. Kristen Wiig plays a woman with Borderline Personality Disorder who wins the lottery, goes off her meds & pays a TV station to have her own…

Booooring! Could not watch the entire boondoggle of a movie. Sorry to see our libraries buy this type of a story line.

I would like to thank Kristen Wiig for validating my mental health issues.

An utterly idiotic waste of time that would likely appeal to a very immature crowd or someone with mental health issues they want validated.

It's always hard to blend comedy with drama, and it doesn't always work well here. Kristen Wiig fans are more likely to like this movie. Contains some mature content.

This movie is amazing! Great characters and story.

I don't like Wiig. This movie was boring.

I really loved this movie. I thought it was a pretty accurate portrayal of someone living with a mental disorder and how it affects them and the people in their lives. There's no quick answer to the disorder, and it may never be 'cured'…

Strangely interesting. It's a comedy but since it is also considered by several medical sources to be a pretty good example of a person driven by a mental illness, it's not so funny anymore. But I'd recommend it for that reason. The other…

I found this movie to be UNWATCHABLE, unless you are a masochist ! Whether or not it is well acted is irrelevant as it tells the story of someone with unlimited funds doing anything she wishes and the people who enable her for their own…

This movie does not fit into an easily identifiable "genre," so might be hard for some people to relate to. I don't know that any lesser actor than Kristen Wiig could have pulled off the depth required for the title role. It is funny in…

Terribly boring movie. I know Wiig has a off kilter sense of humour but this was beyond strange. No redeeming qualities at all. The story of a messed up life that miraculously comes together in the end and all friends reunite happily…

What a peculiar film. I'm still undecided if I'm supposed to take it seriously or as comedy. The story of a borderline personality who wins the lottery and squanders her money on an egotistical variety talk show in imitation of her idol…

It's painful to watch because it's just not funny; it's sad. The premise sounds like there could be a few laughs, but it's just awful. Skeleton Twins was at least watchable (thanks to Bill Hader).

I got this because I like Kristen Wig. This movie was weird, depressing, not a comedy. Skip it, wish I did.

Not informative or entertaining.

A weird stage film of a life talk show hosted by an emotional exhibitionist who aired her own past experiences and offended everyone she knew. There were no deep message other than be understanding toward those with mental illnesses among…

A gutsy movie by Kristen Wiig but (unlike Skeleton Twins. which was horrible) it paid off. Don't expect a story that makes any sense; watch it for the commentary the film makes about our "reality TV" society and the mentally ill. And it…

Dark Comedy with a real hint of BPD and facing it full-on. It just didn't do it for me. Always thinking Kristin Wiig will make me laugh- it was just too "out there" for me to find anything that struck my chord. I didn't enjoy sitting…

I love a feel bad movie, and this most certainly fits the bill. You'll cover your eyes during long chunks of this - it's awkward, grotesque, sad, and hilarious all at once. Kristin Wiig's character feels a bit caricature-ish at times, and…
