Nellie Robinson (Leah McKendrick- writer, director, vanity work) is a 34-year-old woman watching all of her forever-single friends get married and have children. She just amicably split with her boyfriend who everything thinks was the only decent guy she has dated. When asked if she was "seeing anyone" she responds "I am seeing everyone." The funny line in the film. When she talks to a 40-year-old who just had a child, she discovers childbirth is not easy past 30 and decides to have her eggs frozen with financial help from her brother. The film goes nowhere. The funny part was the situational snarky humor that didn't land very well. It is a comedy where the timing is off. Guide: F-word. Sex. Brief nudity?

The movie was surprisingly good, the script, the acting by Leah. It was very funny and actually real to the western society and the feminism what was going on with the main character. The woman who was delusional and interested only to party ended by becoming depressed by being single and without babies. She was crying at the end over all the men who was dating and who she either friend zoned or just dumped and who now are either married or not interested in her. This is the way feminism is unfolding for delusional women in the western society who end up sad and feeling sorry for all the wasted chances.

The SINK. The modern feminist single income no kids story, of a woman who never grew up and in the end never does. There's a few laughs in the beginning but in the end you see she's selfish, entitled, schemed money out of her family, meddled in the life's of exes and others, and took it all as a part of her journey. The movie offers no moral championing for overcoming obstacles or becoming a better person, or even making an opportunity to make it into a good joke. Instead they make an entire drawn out 30 minutes of the main character feeling sorry for herself for all the bad decisions she made.

For fellow millennial women or women who have felt the crunch of a "ticking biological clock", this is a must watch. Sure, there are few stereotypical tropes in terms of the men in the movie as well as some of the women the main character Nellie finds herself friends with, but overall I found Scrambled thoroughly enjoyable, humorous, emotional, and timely. At a time when many millennial women are being more intentional in finding their "one", figuring out themselves, and starting a family, there isn't much space to have public conversations on planning for pregnancy or even the loss and heartbreak of miscarriage. If you're a male or someone older than a millennial, this may not be the movie for you. But even if you don't fall in the very specific demographic this movie aims to target, there's still room for a few laughs and a little learning that being a woman often means very hard decisions and pressures that society likes to not talk about.
