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

A Long Way Down (2014)

Four different people have the same idea: jump off the top of a building known for suicides on New Year's Eve. But when they encounter the others on the roof, they form a kind of support group instead. The quartet have nothing in common: there's a locally famous disgraced talk show host, a manic daughter of a politician, a middle-aged woman who's a caretaker for her disabled son, and a pizza delivery guy -- but their bond is real and they each come to depend on it.

Though diverting, there's very little depth of character.
