I thought Plaza was quite good but the movie was a bit better than ok. I appreciated the underlying message of how difficult it is for young people to get ahead professionally.

Spoiler!

The scene where she interviews for a "job" where she's an intern and basically works for free was a great scene. I've had rants at previous work places about bringing in interns and paying them pennies. This part was so spot on.
