We've had first jobs, second jobs, we've blown our paychecks, and invested a little too. Half of us even moved into our own place. We swiped right, we swiped left, we've loved, we've been l ...

We're all guilty of wanting to 'live it up in the city' and have almost always referred to flawed representations of the same in films.
