Someone Great
We’re familiar with the usual story about a girl gang going on a spontaneous, adrenaline-filled adventure to wherever, and Someone Great is giving us the same kind of plot but making it somewhat more relatable to the young millennials just trying to navigate adulthood.
This film follows aspiring music journalist Jenny (Gina Rodriguez) who just landed her dream job at an iconic magazine and is about to move to San Francisco. However, this leads to her boyfriend of nine years (Lakeith Stanfield) to suddenly call it quits. To nurse her broken heart, Jenny gathers up her two best friends Erin (DeWanda Wise) and Blair (Brittany Snow) for one outrageous last adventure in New York City.
