Movie #3503 "I Used to be Funny" (Netflix ) The weird title got me to watch this the other night, and I found it had an intriguing story --- a young woman becomes an aupair when she's in her 20s for a difficult young teen who lathes on to her --- the teen's mom is sickly and the dad doesn't pay as much attention as he should because of the nature of the girl and what she is going through. The au pair senses that and becomes too close --- so when she wants to spend more of her time honing her skills as a stand up comic, the young teen feels abandoned and thrown away --- to make matters worse, the dad causes more problems that separate the two girls. The film is a bit rough (rough in transitions, photography and some clunky dialogue) at times, but has a good message, and like I said, the subject matter is a bit different. I'd give it 3.5 out of 5. With a mild recommendation.
