The List was a cute enough movie, even though the main character was frustrating at times. The film follows Abby, a New York speech writer, who is set to get married. However, Abby's world is turned upside down when she finds out her fence fiancé sleeps with a celebrity on his free pass list. Shaken by this, Abby sets out with her best friend Chloe (Chrissie Fit) to L. A. to even the score. I won't spoil anything, but the plot is pretty straightforward from there. I found myself saying repeatedly just break up with him, girl. While it's an interesting enough premise to talk about, cheating is cheating, even if it is with a celebrity. And in this case, the dude clearly didn't have any remorse for his actions, and it's not like Abby hooking up with someone else would magically make things all better. Sometimes, you need to just know when to walk away from a relationship. Halston Sage is a charming lead, making her character likable enough, even if she is a bit dense. The jokes are hit and miss, and at times, the film tries a little too hard to be funny. It was nice to see Chrissie Fit in a somewhat leading role. She never seems to get the credit that she deserves, as she is usually just cast as a supporting character(like in Pitch Perfect). But I think she is really talented, and I hope this opens some doors for her in the future. All in all, it wasn't a bad little film, but I don't know if I'd recommend paying for it either. My recommendation is to watch it on streaming somewhere on a rainy day when you need a laugh and don't think too much about it.
