Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Just watch it- It is darkly beautiful, tragic, hilarious, real, fantastic, and genuine in the cinematic sense. It is a dichotomy all around, and it is a much needed thing in the world of entertainment; female powered! Frankie Shaw is a force to be reckoned with!

Supposedly inspired by the actual experiences of the lead character who originally created this as a short film. That's where she should have left it. It feels a little like a Shameless character the writers decided to cut, almost like a test for a spin off from Shameless. However it lacks the pace, or the charm or even the ability to shock like Shameless does. An easy one to skip over and wait for something better to come along. It's slow, dull and uninspired, and she's really not a strong enough actress or writer to carry this idea herself.I tend to worry when you see the lead actor is the creator, writer and exec producer. This usually means they have far too much control and there's not enough quality control and oversight on the production. That's what you get here - her fairly dull and plodding view of the world, and no way to really connect or empathize with her. Tighter direction and scripting might have helped, but clearly this is her passion project and there isn't anyone wrangling this lumbering mess into a coherent half hour.This will not be something that is around for long, if it isn't cancelled by the time you read this review, it will be soon.

I honestly did not expect much figuring that this was a Shameless knockoff just trying to out-shock what shocking things Shameless brings us each week. But I was wrong. The writing is wonderful, bringing unexpected storyline twists in each episode and quickly building viewer empathy for the characters who are caught up in life, but have dreams, and making us care about them. The acting is great, delivering some of Rosie's best work. Gritty, edgy, whatever you want to call it, this is not the same old crappy filler between commercials that is delivered so often.

Reviewing now has become a day-job, with Amazon, HBO and all others battling over viewers and therefore have to mass produce, which consequently results in utter utter garbage being thrown at us. It comes to a point where a review can be as follows: (wee joke in the title) SMILF Not funny, Not witty, Nice tits, show more. Refrain from penis exposure pls. Not a captivating pilot, Not a captivating follow up, Next. #SMILFAIL
