“Good On Paper” (** out of four) was a wildly uneven Netflix comedy about a stand-up comic (Iliza Schlesinger) who meets a guy (Ryan Hansen); initially her guard up and she is resistant but he gradually wins her over with his self-mocking charm and confidence but soon finds he might be too good to be true. Both Schlesinger and Hansen give it their all and work well together, but after a funny beginning, film declines alarmingly and becomes contrived and silly. Schlesinger also wrote the script and this itself might have looked “good on paper” before the cameras started rolling.
