After losing an audition for her dream job, an aspiring Los Angeles TV news anchor (Elizabeth Banks) goes out for an uncharacteristic night of partying. She awakes in a stranger's bed to a phone message from her agent telling her the job is hers, if she can make it across town by 5 pm.

Elizabeth Banks was acting like a bitch, nobody will take that away from her. It is simply a fact that her behavior created a number of fishy situations, which were at times funny. A comedy which can make you laugh, but mostly it rather makes you cry.

The film is far from deep or groundbreaking. Then again, I watched it to have a good laugh and I did spend most of the time laughing, so only 3 stars, but I’m satisfied anyway.

A relatively tolerable comedy, as long as you don't mind Elizabeth Banks, who can be quite challenging for someone. However, there are funny moments, she doesn't overact much, and the whole situation is quite pleasantly crazy, and moreover, something is constantly happening. It's not a great comedy, but it's watchable.

Let’s face it, the movie only has 2 things going for it. The first one is Elizabeth Banks. She gets virtually drowned in awkward and predictable situations, though. And the second justifiable reason to watch this is the currently best American stand-up comedian Bill Burr in his life role. Although brilliant, he unfortunately gets very little space in the movie. Otherwise, get ready for a desperately mediocre comedy with a lousy screenplay amplified by some disastrous acting performances.
