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.

Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Things get a bit choppy and the ending lacks punch, but the performances from Kroll and Rannells are priceless and save the film from itself. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times The tone swerve into body-count humor and the nuts and bolts of violence eventually prove too much for Crano and Craig to effectively mold into a comedy of perception and privilege. Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com Although charming, the slight “I Don’t Understand You” struggles to sustain its spark. Rated: 2/4 Jun 7, 2025 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix I Don’t Understand You could've been a wickedly funny satire of a vacationing American couple trying to cover up an accidental killing in Italy. Instead, this misguided comedy/drama is a witless bore that fizzles early and never recovers. Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Warren Cantrell The Playlist Kroll and Rannells do their best to sell the story’s comedy and emotional bedrock. Still, they can’t stabilize the lopsided conceit of the setup or salvage the played-out humor made explicit in the title. Rated: D Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast Apart from failing to adequately capture the shifting tones, the more time spent with these characters it is clear they couldn’t hold an egg for a day let alone a child. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Hollyann M Campy, serious, creepy - loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Mr. Hollywood Had a fun feel to it but the problem is there isnt a payoff. All this and then heres the ending. Nothing. They were scared to take the premise all the way and it hurt the film. A huge missed opportunity. PS the trailer to this was the film. Maybe it wouldve been better had the trailer not shown it all Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Jaqueline The movie was hilarious and easy to follow. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review Conall R My brother and I once stayed in some old Italian womans house in the suburbs of Bruges after a music festival, so we definitely understood where a good chunk of this film came from. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review Matt B Surprisingly fun. This one is nutty and insane, but it kept me on my toes! Kind of fumbles the bag with the ending though Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review David Bad acting, bad writing, bad story, second movie I've walked out on in 30 years. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
