Film: You Hurt My Feelings

Is the meta-message of this film everyone sucks at their job?

I laughed out loud quite a bit during the movie but the basic premise didn't totally land for me. The first scene that felt "off" to me was the aftermath sisterly powwow of Julia Louis Dreyfus overhearing her husband hated her new book. Would this be that upsetting? We're talking about a little beyond middle aged women here with a college grad for a kid...have we become this fragile? Seems to me the type of thing you get over a few years after grad school. And yes, all these characters went to grad school.

Solid cast though. Has any actress of her generation had a better career than Julia Louis Dreyfus?
