A rushed movie that hurts credibility
I was browsing Netflix and came across this movie. Since I like like Aubrey Plaza I gave it a view. Aubrey plays Emily who is suffering from a string of poor choices many younger adults make, which is pursuing an expensive and useless degree and obtaining a DUI. She also has temper which lead to an assault charge and she tends to be a bit touchy with people she interviews with.
To nutshell the situation, she has a dead end job, hates her roommates, has no solid direction and is desperate for money. She gets into a secret credit card scam ring that apparently requires absolutely no training to be successful. The whole scenario was convoluted and unbelievable for it to be entertaining in any way.
Aubrey plays the role of Emily just like she does with every character she plays. A ton of dead pan and snappy lines. The rest of the cast did what they needed to do to round out their characters, but they are all pretty forgettable.
This is a movie to watch and completely forget about in 15 minutes. Not sure why it was made.
