A wicked spin on the often played-out world of indie romantic comedies, The Relationtrip packs every conceivable genre trope into a neat 90 minutes, and then happily upends them.

Like its too clever by half title, "The Relationtrip" tries to be precious and funny, and at times it just simply tries too hard.

Laced with considerable irony, the least surprising thing about "The Relationtrip" becomes how directly affecting it is when Liam and Beck do all they can to avoid showing emotion to each other.

It's not afraid to fail, and because of that, it succeeds in creating a wholly original movie.

This movie tried way too hard to be out of the ordinary that it lacked the basic structure to make any sense. There is no development or context to the events in this film at all. Why are they planning a trip when they barely know each other? Why do they suddenly hate each other? The "quirkiness" of this movie had so much potential with the friend and the mom, yet it felt weird and unnatural with how they executed it. The ending of the movie then leaves the watcher completely dissatisfied as it tries to wrap up with a random happy ending.

Renée Felice Smith's . She is aweful On NCIS: LA. When she is on camera she will always make funny faces on camera she will also start doing this jumping thing a lot on camera happens a lot when the whole group is on camera. Renee Felice Smith is a very very bad actor, Not even sure how she got into tv and movies but it was a mistake. I stopped watching NCIS LA only because i could not take watching her bad acting.

Fresh, fun, random -- relatable . Good to have a story that is allows the characters to explore new territory in playful fashion. Always appreciate endings that I don't expect.

I loved how this movie dissects real issues in such a unique way. I think every young person should see this movie, it has a lot of relevant ideas. I also enjoyed how fun this movie was. I found myself laughing out loud in many scenes and enjoyed this movie all the way through. Some of the surreal elements were a bit jarring at first, but once you get used to them, and reflect on what everything meant, you appreciate it a lot more. There's a lot to talk about this one and I hope more people have the opportunity to see this movie.
