Reading some reviews of Thanks For Sharing:

And lastly there's Adam's lazy sponsoree, Neil (Josh Gad), a goofy, sexually perverse ER doctor who's able to get the help he needs from a fellow sex addict (in a surprisingly well-acted performance from Alecia Moore, aka Pink) after their platonic friendship is formed.

The pairing of Gad opposite Pink in their arc of the story is excellent, with Pink proving herself to be a very promising actress, and Gad especially showing how capable he is of both drama and comedy. His smaller role in Love and Other Drugs was excellent in showing off his comedic talents, but here he gets to flourish in the dramatic side too, giving an altogether new look at how terrific an actor he is on-screen.

Blumberg has populated the proceedings with a number of intensely likeable figures, and there's little doubt that the leads' uniformly charismatic work is matched by a strong supporting cast that includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Joely Richardson, and, in her first film role, Pink. (The latter is actually surprisingly good here, with her tearful speech at an S.A. meeting instantly establishing her as an actress worth watching.)

And in what may have emerged as my favorite story, Josh Gad (The Book Of Mormon) plays a brand new group participant, a doctor who's there on the order of the court that busted him for rubbing up against women on the subway. (Ew.) He quickly befriends another new participant, who is delightfully played by Pink — yes, Pink, the singer.
But I think the most pleasant surprise is the friendship between the characters played by Josh Gad and Pink.

Ruffalo and Paltrow are undoubtedly the highlights of the picture, with the film working best when focused on their trials to make their coupling work. But a special note must also be made about Pink who is a truly pleasant surprise in her first major screen outing (not counting animated gigs), with her first scene in the film among one of the best in 'Sharing' at large.

A breakout star of The Book of Mormon on Broadway, Gad does the film’s comedic heavy lifting, much of it demeaning physical gags and scenes with his suffocating Jewish mother (Carol Kane). But it’s in the sweet blossoming of Neil’s loving yet platonic friendship with Dede, and their mutual support, that Gad’s work resonates most. Better known as pop-punkster Pink, Moore proves a capable actor and a relaxed, enormously likable screen presence.

Which brings us nicely to Alecia “Pink” Moore, who, based on her work here, really needs to tackle more acting roles. She’s very solid as DeDe, a fellow meeting-goer who is doing her damnedest to figure out her disease. The character of DeDe could have gone disastrous on a number of fronts, but Blumberg and Pink manage to deliver a female character that’s far stronger than any of the main male characters. Kudos must be given to both for this aspect of the film, even though it holds the rest of the plot-lines up to derision by stark comparison.

So far, the movie itself has gotten mixed to positive reviews, Pink on the other hand, has received nothing but praise
