Book Rating

I was so excited to read this book! I LOVE Tina Fey in 30 Rock and on SNL, I found her absolutely hilarious! This book however, was not. I laughed through the Introduction and the Growing Up and Liking It chapters but that was it. I thought this book would be filled with funny stories and zinging one liners - it was not. I still love Tina Fey as an actress but as a writer, she kind-of sucks. Her writing is very choppy, the chapters don't flow together and I wasn't too impressed with all the (actual!) scripts within the pages. It took me forever to finish reading!

Movie Rating

A critical and commercial flop on its release but in my humble opinion sorely underrated. I liked how the film shows the influence of technology on human relationships largely to a negative degree and made me thankful for being old enough that I went to school in those halcyon days where we didn’t have constant access to the internet and social media. The film successfully weaves several stories of different generations in a small town and I found its different depictions of loneliness and anxiety quite moving at times. The ensemble cast all do good work (even Adam Sandler) and the quality soundtrack enhances the mood. Well worth your time.
