It has a message.. Kind of!

Once you step in shoes of another,be prepared for what's to come.. Towards the end you see that Paula,started taking on traits of Candy.

Not saying either was justified for their actions,or lack thereof but one walked away a better person overall.

This wasn't a comedy,instead dark humor on fame & being true to yourself.

Drew has done better work,still worth seeing because she's in it.
