The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

Positives: I like the plot, some lines were really cute, and one character with a mustache won me over easily.

Negatives: Unfortunately, while some lines were really cute, many of the lines felt (unintentionally) awkward and unnatural. And some of the lines that were supposed to be profound or romantic *really* fell flat.

For the plot, while good in concept, it wasn't well executed. Some highly sensitive plot events did not provide the necessary buildup and/or recovery (the biggest negative for me). The story also felt a bit rushed; I think it's more suited to a tv show, or it at least needed more skill to move well as a movie.

Lastly, the characters felt under developed, which was a shame because I think there was a lot of potential there.

Would love to see a remake as a series. With a bigger budget, too, I think it could really be something.
