More than funny, not enough suspense

On the surface, it looks like a female fashion film, but it is actually a crime suspense drama. However, the pattern of the suspense type is not broad enough, and the content gives way to many ambitious topics, such as the reality of single mothers’ struggles, discrimination against women in society, and the relationship between women. The understandings and so on are varied, but unfortunately they are only passed by like a dragonfly, and they have not been able to fully elaborate. The suspense plot obviously refers to a lot of classic works, so it is not difficult to guess the direction of the ending, and the final three people confronted the climax scene improperly, which was too impatient and self-righteous. The most outstanding part is still the comedy tone. The image of the silly big sister portrayed by the heroine Anna Kendrick is quite vivid and vivid, showing the various personality weaknesses and disgusting psychology of modern women to the fullest.
