Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

This Isn't Funny (2015)

Young comedian and juice bar manager get into a “bike bumps car” accident. When she uses the incident as fodder for her stand up while he’s in the audience, they wind up falling for each other. 

Things are fun, then they're serious, and then they're sad. Nothing groundbreaking here, but it felt fresh and honest. I liked both of the leads and was rooting for them. The story is also often intercut with bits of stand-up which could have been annoying (e.g. early Seinfeld) but was instead good for the story (e.g. Louie).
