It starts out looking like it's going to be a comedy about a charlatan who commands megabucks for financial advice delivered via big arena concerts but quickly shifts focus to the relationship this business mogul has with her staff, but that only lasts one scene - one of the staff members you see actually vanishes from the movie after this elaborate introduction - and then, just as suddenly, the movie becomes a Get Hard-style comedy about the mogul spending time in prison like Martha Stew--...but before you can even say her name, the mogul is released from prison and ends up sleeping on the couch of her long-suffering assistant and so you think you are actually watching a rehash of Trading Places, until a West Side Story war between rival Girl Guide gangs erupts...and all these tonal shifts never stop - the movie ends with you never feeling like you ever quite understood what story you were watching, except it is clear it is a not especially funny one.
