To Leah McKendrick: writer, director, and star of “Scrambled,” my hat is off. The sheer energy and persistence it takes to pull off this type of Hollywood triple-threat feat, and get your feature film out there, is almost superhuman in scope. Not only does Ms. McKendrick pull it off, she does so with panache, wit, and reveals herself to be a rare type of comedienne, who, like the Sad Clown, when the funny tips over into the sad, is devastatingly tragic. Wonderful actress. You can expect to see a lot more of her.
‘Scrambled’: Hilarious Ticking Biological Clock Comedy
Having lost at the “finding-a-husband” version of musical chairs, a woman freezes her eggs to prolong her attempt. The results are hysterically funny.
