Dome Pondering Movie Review: Girl Most Likely (2012)


What is it about? 

A woman comes to grips with realizing that her big break in the playwright industry has faded, and must learn to make make the transition. 

Who is in it? 

Kristen Wiig - Imogene

Annette Bening - Zelda

Matt Dillon - George 


Favorite Scene: 

After dining out the location of their father, Imogene, Lee, and Ralph head to New York City to meet him. What ends up happening on their trip is rather hilarious. 

Favorite Quote: 

Imogene: I'm going to go lay down for two minutes, excuse me.
[Leaves table]

Virginia: It's so sad - how long has she had her drinking problem?

Ralph: Like, two days.

Review: 

I stumbled upon this movie searching for something to put on the other monitor as I completed some work that I brought home from the office. Surely enough, Amazon Prime gave me this wonderful choice which actually surprised me. Quite frankly, much of the options are often very, very bad. Again, Girl Most Likely was not so much. 

Girl Most Likely was very funny, and as always, the character of Imogene was perfect for Kristen Wiig to take on, who does the down-on-her-luck deal so well (see: Bridesmaids). 

The characters are what drives this film, and it's worth the watch just because of that. The plot is a bit weird, but the characters themselves keep you invested with wit and some zaniness that's very entertaining. 

All in all, it's a decent watch, and surely above the other options on Amazon Prime. 

Grade: 2/5

3 Up 1. Eva Ramon Gallegos Cure HPV - Could Cervical Cancer be a thing of the past? It very much looks like it as after twenty years of work, Gallegos has found a cure that completely eliminates the cancer. This is remarkable work, and it's pretty awesome to see the Mexican Medical community come together proudly in this achievement. 2. "This is America" Grammy - Finally!! Childish Gambino got some national love for the work he did on this great song, and even more so, on the overall art/video that was "This is America". Of course, he wasn't there to pick it up as the Grammys and their long standing issue with the hip-hop community continues... 3. Women at SOTU - Women continue to be bad ass in the current age. Their solidarity within the Capitol for the President's SOTU was a great sight to see. 3 Down 1. Venezuela Crisis - The country of Venezuela is in absolute shambles right now as they tussle over leadership, and really, a move toward d...

Dear Son, Uniquely Two!

--- 2 Years Old --- Dear Son,  Happy Birthday! I have to get used to you sharing a birthday with Jesus - that's still no easy thing to do.  However, you're now two years old! And while I write this, you haven't really been able to celebrate, more so your birthday. At a mere two years old, you're rife with germs and succumbed to a nasty bug, rendering you sick on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day (your birthday), and the days to follow. Everyone here for the holidays was unable to give you that moment, and really, we weren't able to get that moment on your second birthday.  The day aside, I'm grateful for the little guy that you are. In one of my previous notes to you, I mentioned " That's Milo " and you've continued to express that. You're very unique - a character in every way. The complete opposite, thus far, of your brother in so many ways.  Even with your limited speech as a toddler, I love how decisive you are - with your "Yesshhhs...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/9/25

3 Up 1. Eagles Defensive Live - I'm no football aficionado or even a huge fan - but what the Eagles front four on defense did was dominating.  1a. Philadelphia Eagles - Congratulations to Eagles fans and the city of Philadelphia on the Super Bowl win.  2. Kendrick Lamar - I'm sure it'll be controversial - we all knew it would be going in. Throwing my two cents into the arena of public opinion, I thoroughly enjoyed Kendrick's performance. I'm a fan, so that's easy. Tough night to be Drake though. Yikes!  3. Human-Like Teeth in Pigs - Science can be cool. But stories like this are absolutely amazing.  3 Down 1. Plan for Education? - Look, I'm all for cutting wasteful spending from the government. However, I also want to know the plan to replace or support the areas that are being cut. Eliminating the Department of Education? Ok, cool. What's the plan after that? 2. USAID - We live in a VERY blessed country. My heart is with the countries and people who re...
