Netflix is absolutely killing the game right now with recent TV shows and movies, introducing unique storylines, highlighting diversity in their casting choices and overall making amazing content that everyone is obsessed with. They are showcasing characters with real-life problems and relatable AF situations, and they are just getting started.
A new movie is hitting Netflix and everyone is already a huge fan just based off of the trailer. The producer of the dearly-loved movie Bridesmaids, that is still a top favorite for a lot of people, has teamed up with powerhouse director Jenn Kaytin Robinson to make a new movie called Someone Great and we can't help but think everyone is going to love it.
With a strong female lead and a diverse cast, we already feel attached to the characters. Someone Great has an authentic storyline, top-notch millennial humor and a theme of true sisterhood and undying friendship – it's the love story we so desperately needed.
We're thankful for the movies that highlight sisterhood.
When Bridesmaids was released in 2011, it was an instant hit and it has only grown in popularity since. It wasn't just the humor (which is top notch, to say the least) that stole the hearts of so many viewers; it was the empowering and emotional testimony to the strength of female friendships.It's an iconic film.
There's no way this movie wouldn't be incredible simply because everything Kristin Wiig does is amazing. Plus, Maya Rudolph, Melissa McCarthy, and Rebel Wilson? There's no way to fail with a cast like this.A different kind of love story.
There's so much to love in this movie, and I'm not talking about just the humor and killer cast. It's a love story, but not between man and woman, but between best friends, showing the bond between friends that can overcome any adversity.If you don't know who Paul Feig is, you need to.

Jenna Kaytin Robinson is a director, writer, and hilarious genius who is about to release everyone's new favorite movie.Jenn doesn't mess around.
Jenn wrote the MTV series Sweet/Vicious which tells the story of two girls who seek revenge on the men at their college who've sexually assaulted women. It's pretty hardcore and does an incredible job of highlighting how important it is to address sexual assault on college campuses.We love her already.

Bring on the tears.
I can already tell by the trailer that this is going to be a pretty emotional movie. I need my girlfriends and a bottle of wine to sit and make it through this.Getting my tissues ready.
I have a good feeling I'm going to be a hot mess when I watch this and I am very okay with that!Even Brittany Snow admitted to ugly crying.
In an Instagram caption where Snow shared her excitement, she also said the script alone made her emotional. "This was the funniest script I’ve read while also making me ugly cry. The women in this film became my lifelong friends and inspired me in ways I can’t describe."Gina was all in for this film.
In an interview with Elle Magazine, Gina shared how swept off her feet she felt by the script and how working with Jenn was an amazing opportunity.Women supporting women is a beautiful thing.
"Jennifer wrote an amazing script. When I read it, I was like, I want in. Jennifer Robinson will be a huge director," Gina said in her interview. "She's a leader. She's not nasty. She's kind, she protects the actors. She protects her crew. I am so proud to call her my friend and my fellow artist."Plus, these ladies have some history.
