    • Trivia
      Julie Murphy, the author of the book the film is based on, made a cameo at the end of the movie.
    • Goofs
      Most of the cars, including Rosie's and Willowdean's, do not have front license plates. Currently the state of Texas requires all motor vehicles to have both front and back plates. However during a period between 2013 and 2015 it was allowed to wear only the back plate. This period was the time when the novel was written and published and where the filmmakers decided to set the film.
    • Quotes

      Willowdean: It's a protest!

      Millie: What's our point?

      Hannah: It's a revolt against the oppressive hetero-patriarchy unconsciously internalised by the female psyche!

      Millie: [Slight pause] Oh.

    It you want warm feel good vibes this is perfect
    Full disclosure, I have not read the book so I saw the movie with virgin eyes and zero expectations. If you're looking for a deep, insightful comedy drama with a bunch of existential messages this is not the movie for you. If you're looking for warm and fuzzy feelings mixed with some sass and charm I recommend this movie. My belly didn't ache from laughing, but my mouth did hurt from smiling so much. If you watch enough movies and TV they all become predictable, but that doesn't have to take away from your enjoyment or the message of self love that this movie leans on. So found a comfy spot on the couch, grab some tea, and let the positive vibes flow.
