About the film
This wonderful hidden gem follows Lisa (Regina Hall, in an award-winning performance), the overworked and underappreciated general manager of a Hooters-esque sports bar. Both feel-good and cathartic, this deeply empathetic dramedy from Andrew Bujalski is a gratifying testament to the resilience of women.
