Girl Most Likely

Directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, this 2012 comedy follows a struggling New York playwright whose elaborate scheme to reclaim a lost relationship backfires and lands her back under the roof of her unpredictable, gambling-prone mother. Mixing screwball misadventure with a more bittersweet look at thwarted ambition and reluctant family reunions, the film leans into character-driven humor and the awkward comedy of a creative life stalled out. Its tone balances farce with quieter emotional beats. With a MagicMovieScore of 5.6, it suits viewers who enjoy offbeat indie comedies about flawed adults stumbling toward second chances.
