The Big Picture Avengers: Infinity War has been referred to as the most ambitious crossover in cinematic history, but First Time Female Director may give it a run for its money. Instead of uniting superheroes, however, it brings together some of the best comedians working today. Its main cast alone includes sitcom legends Chelsea Peretti , Amy Poehler, and Megan Mullally as well as hot rising stars who have found massive success on social media like Meg Stalter and Benito Skinner.
The downside to having an abundance of talent is that we never get a chance to dig too deeply into any of them. The film is filled to the brim with excellence, which results in it feeling overstuffed. Sometimes that works in its favor, with your funny bone being constantly hit from all directions. Other times, when it’s not quite as sharp, it’s a disadvantage, coming off a bit messy.
The cluttered nature of the ensemble and odd pacing are what hold back some of the commentary as well. The relationship between Sam and the theater’s ticket booth worker and aspiring playwright Star is one of its most interesting. Sam is the first female director the Glendale theater has seen — something that’s comedically noted as revolutionary time and time again since putting her in the position feels rather performative.
