Aug 15 Alice and Paul were the most annoying self obsessed characters I’ve ever watched. See more Esteban C Jun 15 it was a nice, fun and interesting comedy that just made me happy in less than two hours! of course it wasn’t this big oscar winning film, but i got immediately hooked with the story, the characters and their journey through the movie. kristen bell steals the show, with allison janey and ben platt making the perfect mother and brother to get into this adventure with!!! didn’t went with many expectations, but came out of it knowing a cute little new story about a really dysfunctional family :) See more Daniel G 11/15/2024 The actors made a really conventional movie into a bit more - though there were no laughs for this romcom. Kirsten Bell is often involved in such projects which are less comedy and much more social commentary and she's a very engaging screen presence. See more 'Woody' D 04/13/2024 3 minutes into this movie, the acting is terrible, it has a stupidness about it that I'm not willing to gamble another minute of my life on it getting any better. Two thumbs down. See more Kyle M 03/24/2024 Willing to discuss deeper subjects whilst appealingly comedic then forming a decent familial dynamic, the familiarly grasped commentary gets limited and afflicted by awkwardly addressed notions without realistic conviction nor spacious relations. (B-) See more Jeff M 01/21/2024 I think a movie like this is probably one of the most difficult to pull off successfully. It is a dark comedy comprised of characters who, for the most part, are imminently unlikable put in situations that tend to compound their unlikability. In order for this to work, the filmmakers need to be uncompromising in their character development and find as much humor as possible in the various scenarios. And in both of these categories, the film misfires. Despite some biting lines of dialogue here and there, it's just not funny. And sometimes awkwardly so, including a failed attempt at a three-way and a bachelorette party gone awry. Even worse, the filmmakers aren't courageous in their convictions and, without giving too much away, throw everything away in the last 15 minutes by allowing all the characters moments of redemption and catharsis. It's such a predictable route and doesn't feel the least bit believable. Throughout the film, I kept thinking about a wonderful comedy I found on HBO Max called THE OTHER TWO. It also is filled with characters of dubious moral integrity, but the writing and performances are sharp and unyielding. This ultimately feels like a half-baked sitcom that thinks it's a lot more clever than it actually is. See more Read all reviews
