The Worst Film Ever

Great Film overall

A Major Disappointment

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This adorable little movie is a good, light watch on Netflix that stars some pretty great actors that make you laugh throughout the movie. Zoe Lister-Jones is actor, writer, director and producer of the film and also wrote some of the songs for the movie (how adorable right!?). The dynamic between Lister-Jones and co-star Adam Pally (who plays Peter Prentice in The Mindy Project, which is amazing) is funny, quirky and ultimately a good representation of a realistic relationship in current day. The movie starts with a simple "music will save our marriage" plot but as you discover more about the underlying issues the couple faces, the simple/unrealistic solution is avoided and a "more accurate" resolution of feelings becomes more pronounced. The drama/conflict in the movie, although realistic, is not all that dramatic (I mean this as it is not an over-the-top problem that you see in some rom-com's) so it does not make you HAVE to watch the movie. Corny and quirky at times, but has a cute, adorable nature that will have you enjoying the 91 minute story.

Band Aid is a quirky indie picture written and directed by Zoe Lister-Jones that depicts the lives of Anna and Ben, a young married couple struggling not just with the dishes, but unemployment, un-fulfilment, miscarriage and of course the frailties of a monotonous marriage.Together, both Lister-Jones and Adam Pally are brilliant in depicting a realistic and grounded relationship that balances comedy and drama, as the two uniquely deal with their marital problems by turning each and every fight into a song performed alongside drummer and neighbouring creep Dave, played by Fred Armisen.The whimsical and clever lyrics of each song aside, the film is genuinely fantastic, both in direction and writing, with Lister-Jones churning out a brilliant performance that has me, and many others wishing she would write and direct more

A couple fighting create a really cool way of doing it by singing songs about it and starting a band with the great Fred Armisen  on drums.It was funny and touching. A very interesting look at the process of a couple dealing with something tragic that happen to them like a miscarriage, and I found the whole thing very insightful.Plus, the music was good too so that's a definite plus.http://cinemagardens.com

Got to see this at Sundance earlier this year and really loved it. Great chemistry with the cast. Witty and smart and thoroughly entertaining, with some truly poignant moments sprinkled in as well. In addition to a strong voice behind the film, navigating between the humor and drama, Lister-Jones was very captivating on the screen as well, and her music didn't miss a beat as well. Overall very impressive little indie film.
