There's a strange intersection between indie film and sitcom comedy - as sitcoms get more sophisticated and indie film gets more conversational, the twain have met and know one another. This evolution has enabled indie films to generate more regular laughs, in the manner of a comedy, but has impacted characterization - sitcom-type characters carry far, far too much in this film.
This film has some very good performances and the writing is strong in places, but it relies on some worn out tropes. If we want to make food analogies, and who doesn't, the sauce was quite good but it could not cover up the taste and texture of the meat.
