There is something quite admirable about Scrambled. And that is its ability to depict both the positives, the negatives and the reality of walking the tightrope of life trying to balance, being a singleton, a partner, a friend and a success whilst remaining true to oneself and not conforming to societies norms.

As a first time feature director, Leah Mckendrick does a good job of balancing all the strands of a complex story that is also well written by her.

There is also a strong supporting cast, it remains consistently funny until the film becomes more emotional in its third act.

If I had to have a gripe or two about the movie I would say that the male characters are mere stereotypes but then given the prospective audience for the film I don't think it is significant. Also the end conveniently finishes before the end of Nellie's story is over. Did it work? Will they ever be used? Will the outcome lead her to revisit her life so far, her female emancipation or her choices that she never seems to to take accountability for that have lead her to this.

Not sure why it bombed at the box office, I would definitely recommend it as worth a watch.

I saw Scrambled, starring Leah McKendrick-Wish Upon a Unicorn, Say Yes; Ego Nwodim-SNL_tv, Good Burger 2; Clancy Brown-John Wick: Chapter 4, Starship troopers and Adam Rodriguez-the Magic Mike movies, CSI: Miami_tv.

This is a movie about a 34 year old woman, played by Leah, that thinks she is getting older as all her female friends are getting married and having babies. Leah can't keep a steady boyfriend because most of them want to get married and have kids but she is just not ready yet. She finally decides to just freeze her eggs for whenever she is ready to have kids. Ego plays her best friend, that just got married-Leah was her bridesmaid. Clancy plays Leah's father, that wants yo have some grandkids before he dies. Adam plays a man Leah meets on a dating app but already has a fiance'. Leah has lots of bad dates in between her being bridesmaids for her friends and the baby showers and begins to think she will never find the right one.

It's rated R for language, drinking, drug use and sexual content-including nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 37 minutes.

It's not one that I would buy on DVD but if you are interested in the subject matter, it would be alright to stream.
