My wife picked this movie, and we enjoyed it for the most part. It's a comedy, but it's not hilarious funny. It has a few good cringe moments. The main character is believable and likeable. In general, I believe this movie was made for women, which is a bit unfortunate. The male characters are weak, whiny, and manipulative. Apparently, men are the single biggest problem in women's life. This message becomes painfully obvious in the last few minutes of the movie. This is a rather silly point of view, but it wouldn't have bothered me much, if they didn't push it so hard at the very end. If "the message" doesn't bother you, and you enjoy cringe comedy, then I would give it a shot.

More or less by coincidence, I was rewatching TNG by the time Picard came out. My firs impression was.. this is not Star Trek. The Federation became this corrupt hostile organisation.. which might be, by a very long stretch, maybe acceptable. But where this show lost me entirely was at the state of the society and the people. Everybody talks and behaves like they are emotional adolescences. It's like the technology evolved but the society made a jump of 300+ years back in time.
