Sometimes I think entertainment pundits forget why we go to the movies.  We go as a form of escape discovering hilarity, empathy and thrill in the misadventures of fictional characters. Those cerebral critics seem to believe that if a story line is overly contrived with outlandish happenstance, then entertainment value is somehow compromised.  On the contrary, A Girl Most Likely has quirky freshness where the writer injects obscure creativity in the character of Ralph, some positivity amongst family dysfunction, and the occasional scene only accommodating to abnormal characters.  Funny dialogue abounds with law enforcement after rear ending of a Porsche by bedeviled protagonist Imogene (Kristen Wiig). Sex is normalized without an F bomb dropped even once.  A reptilian shell encapsulates in more ways than one. Weirdness becomes triumphant.  The elite become lame.  What’s not to “like”.

While mainstream media rhetorically and tepidly asks the question, “Did President Trump push aside a world leader?”,  I’ll simply express the obvious having watched the clip.  President Trump pushed aside the President of Montenegro in an effort position himself in what he thought was a more favorable position amongst a crowd for whatever reason was circulating in his self centered mind. Will he apologize?  You and I know he’s not big on apologies. Will the incident be shrugged off by Europeans having been witnesses to the tumult en masse via social media?   On the surface – yes but I suspect there will be a metaphorical impact which will linger as supplemental subconscious residue.
