So, 'Better Life' is a quirky little comedy that takes a wild premise—this medical procedure that turns slackers into achievers—and runs with it. The tone is light but thoughtful, tugging at those themes of ambition and family pressure. The pacing has this nice ebb and flow, with moments that feel genuinely heartfelt, especially between the father and his daughter. Practical effects are used cleverly to depict the transformation process, adding a layer of charm. The performances are solid, with the father bringing that weary, yet hopeful vibe that's pretty relatable. It's distinctive in its approach to the American Dream; it doesn't shy away from the messiness of life while trying to chase big aspirations.
