Just came from seeing this and I loved it. I had no idea it tackled themes about toxic masculinity and the "nice guy" stereotype, only the alcoholism stuff, but it did a superb job with both. Hathaway was great but Sudeikis was a revelation - he really was the perfect choice for the role. Balanced the humour and heavier stuff real well although my audience were laughing at a few moments I don't think were intended as funny, such as the firework scene. Was pleasantly surprised it could keep such a bizarre concept gripping the whole time. Exceeded my expectations by quite a bit!

It spoils a lot that it doesn't get wrong, including the biggest twist of the movie. It should have tags on it.
