Film Review: Jenna Fischer Falls Victim to Weak Screenwriting in ‘A Little Help’
Submitted by BrianTT on July 29, 2011 - 2:41pmRating: 2.0/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Despite the best efforts by Jenna Fischer (“The Office”) playing against type as a smoking, drinking newly-single mother, “A Little Help” is a mess. This dramedy consists of the kind of characters one only sees in a movie theater and usually only in an indie flick that thinks it’s much smarter and has much more to say about the human condition than it actually does.
