An American couple, on the verge of adopting a baby, goes on an Italian vacation -- an opportunity to reconnect before the new addition arrives. Everything is picture-perfect; the epitome of a European baby moon, when things begin to spiral out of control. On the way to dinner, they get their rental car stuck in a ditch and are stranded in rural nowhere in a downpour. These two Americans, who are used to being catered to, are now in a foreign land without service, an Italian language comprehension of about zero, and clear relationship turmoil that could explode at any minute. Fear obviously takes over.

Outrageously snappy and unapologetically fun, I Don’t Understand You is a must-see for anyone who likes queer romance, horror-comedy, and/or hot Italians.

Rated: A-

Emotional honesty sometimes salvages this tonal misfire but can’t quite pull together a movie that is constantly coming apart with bad screenwriting choices and direction that never figures out how to tell this quirky story.

The Hollywood Reporter

Nick Kroll and Andrew Rannells make such an effortlessly funny and convincing couple that they smooth over the rough transitional patches.

The Contending

...the film which devolves into an insipid and unbelievably offensive mess....I have no issue with gays being portrayed as monstrous, especially in black comedies. But I do take issue with Italian characters being presented as silly and expendable.

Rated: D

Next Best Picture

The film’s issues are all small, though, and if you love to laugh while cringing, “I Don’t Understand You” will give you all you can eat.

Rated: 7/10

We Live Entertainment

Enjoyment of I Don’t Understand You’s second half depends entirely on suspension of disbelief since taking any piece of the storyline seriously won’t lead to a positive experience.

Rated: 5/10
