Where Was Good on Paper Filmed?
The biggest problem with Good on Paper, a film based on a true story thats based on a lie (stay with me here) that is rife with problematic moments, is that neither writer/star Iliza Shlesinger nor director Kim Gatewood know just what kind of film theyre trying to make. The resulting mish-mash of styles and narrative devices is so confusing and frustrating it nearly makes everything else thats subpar in the film, from the performances to the writing to the body shaming and so on, seem inconsequential. Shlesinger is a comedian by trade (hoping to break into film, apparently, but with much left to be desired if this is her at her best with scripted content), so its no surprise that the moments interspersed throughout Good on Paper that are supposed to be her character performing a set (but are actually just Shlesinger doing her thing) are the films few bright spots.
