The story of Aubri Callahan trying to make it in the comedy scene is relatable, yet the film sometimes feels a bit predictable. While the comedic elements bring some genuine laughs, there are moments that drag and could have benefited from tighter editing. The performances are solid, especially the chemistry between Aubri and Bella Delmonico, but the film struggles to fully capture the chaotic and vibrant essence of live comedy. If you're after a light-hearted watch that tugs at your heartstrings, this film delivers, but don’t expect groundbreaking comedy. Show less
