Plot summary

A brilliant but tightly wound, gameshow-obsessed young woman, Anne, and her estranged, train-wreck of a sister Jenny, must work together to help cover their mother’s gambling debts. When Anne’s beloved dog is kidnapped, they set out on a wild, cross-country trek to get the cash the only way they know how: by turning Anne into a bona-fide gameshow champion.

More like this please, the world needs more like this. film

I got towards the end of this and didnt want it to leave. It was because I liked these people so much.

Everyone is good in this. But Sandra OH and Ferrell steal the show. Sandra Oh just crushes her character with just enough over the topness, coupled with incredible caring for those people around her.

She loves her sister.

The action is fast, and the continuity is great, the subplots are also really funny with the kidnappers being a real high point.

Watch out for this movie , it will creep up on you, , its seems like fluff but there are a lot of really good messages in this flick.

More like this please. The world needs more like this.

Fresh, charming, fun, warm if daft & undemanding comedy

In fresh, charming comedy "Quiz Lady" nerdy Awkwafina's life centres around her dog and her fave tv quiz show (with host Will Ferrell & smarmy champ Jason Schwartzman) - so when her dog's kidnapped by mobster Jon Park, her sister Sandra Oh & crotchety neighbour Holland Taylor 'convince' her to go on the show to raise his ransom. It's pretty daft & silly, but Jen D'Angelo infuses ample sisterly warmth into her second screenplay, and director Jessica Yu elicits fine comic performances from her impressive cast (including a Paul Reubens cameo in his final movie - RIP). While not the most demanding or high-brow film out there, it's heart-lifting and fun. Good enough.

Hysterically Funny

I laughed at this movie so much, Awkwafina is perfect in every film she's in. She plays the complete opposite of her famous Peik Lin Goh "Asian Ellen" character from Crazy Rich Asians and still absolutely kills it as a shy, obsessively organized office worker who is probably "on the spectrum." Sandra Oh shows up as her insane but loveable older sister. I was dying when Oh, as a middle aged woman, put on puffy pink sleeves and platform sneakers like a K-Pop fan half her age ..in fact she doubles down HARD on this K-Pop vibe variously throughout the film despite playing a Chinese woman in her 40s. The film is constantly messing with stereotypes this way, using them preemptively to mess with the viewer as part of the joke (Sandra Oh is actually a Canadian-American woman of Korean descent).

Just watch it if you're looking for something super fun to laugh at.
