I watched this on Hulu, and really got into it. Regina Hall is really warm and charismatic as the manager of a sports-themed restaurant in the style of Hooters or the Tilted Kilt, who looks out for her “girls,” runs a tight ship, and has to get through a particularly difficult day of technical issues, a failed overnight robbery, domestic drama with the waitresses’ lives, managerial issues with her boss, and much more. It’s a really caring portrait of working-class women in Texas who would be otherwise dismissed because of their attractive looks and skimpy outfits, with a lot of heart and respect for the largely female cast. Hall is fantastic in this standout performance, and I’m happy that she’s way more famous now and getting more substantial roles in films like this, Girls Trip, Think like a Man, Little, and People Places Things, after years of largely playing side roles of either the best friend, sister, or the girlfriend in movies.
