Please Be Normal

About This Movie

So, 'Please Be Normal' is this quirky little comedy that dives into the world of dating apps, and it's kind of a trip. The main guy, 35 and a bit of a wreck, wants to find someone who's 'normal,' but through a coffee date with his ex, he finds himself neck-deep in a scheme that’s both hilarious and a little humbling. The tone is light, but there’s a nice undercurrent of self-reflection that creeps in. The pacing feels pretty natural, matches the awkward vibe of online dating, and there’s a certain charm in how it handles the character's insecurities. The performances have this relatable quality, making it easy to connect with the protagonist’s struggles. It's distinctive for its blend of humor and heart while navigating modern relationships.

This film has been rather elusive in terms of format availability, with early screenings being hard to come by. As such, it hasn't gained widespread recognition, but there's definitely a niche group of collectors who appreciate its offbeat take on dating culture. The scarcity adds an interesting layer of intrigue for those keen on indie comedies that play with real-life themes, especially in the realm of online dating.
