Think a rustic getaway with no cell service, internet or social media is a romantic way to revive your marriage and revitalize your sex life? Think again. When Jeanine (Eva Longoria) and Dan (Matt Walsh) realize the only spark in the bedroom is from the wall socket, Dan proposes a quiet, relaxing weekend in a remote mountain town as the solution to rekindle and recharge. No kids, no phones, no social media--only clean fresh air and lots of romance. But what starts as the perfect weekend getaway quickly spirals out of control with unearthly encounters, strong edibles, cranky locals, and a pesky one-eyed dog. Without GPS to guide them or social media to save them, Dan and Jeanine are forced to rediscover what truly matters--each other.

Guardian

The title of this relationship comedy refers to a digital detox; but, watching it, the only unplugging you might be tempted to do is yanking the plug out of the mains socket.

Rated: 2/5

Austin Chronicle

Unplugging is hamstrung by its ricocheting tone and undercut by sequences that probably provoked chuckles during the initial read-through but too often fall flat in the finished product.

Cinemalogue

The stars have decent chemistry and comic timing, yet the film relies too heavily on broad gags that overwhelm any grounded exploration of tech addiction.

It is a testament almost exclusively to the actors that Unplugging is not more aggravating than it has turned out to be.

Unplugging tries to stay connected to the audience but I recommend you just cut the cord.

What a poor excuse for a movie! A couple of extremely gratuitous sex scenes which were completely unnecessary, and it was NOT funny. The movie trailer would make you think this is an action/comedy. We didn't laugh, except one time, about 2/3 of the way though the movie. Don't waste your ...

Interessant, dass dieser Film von Publikum UND Kritik gleichermaßen so schlecht bewertet wird. Ich finde, die beiden haben eine interessante Chemie, also er, der alte weiße Typ und sie die kontrollsüchtige jüngere Latina. Beide auf ihre Weise im Alltag, in ihren Traumageschichten gefangen und komplett süchtig nach Verbindung über Internet vermeiden sie jede echte Kommunikation untereinander. Als er die Idee hat, auf's Land zu fahren und ein Wochenende ohne Handy zu verbringen, entwickeln sich die Dinge dramatischer als geplant, sowohl im Außen als auch im Inneren der Beiden. Sie kommen aber durch Konflikte, die sie gemeinsam mehr oder weniger loyal zueinander durchstehen, beide wieder näher zu sich. Und damit auch zueinander. Mich inspiriert der Film, wie Juan Dan inspiriert hat. Meine Theorie ist übrigens, dass der Film so schlecht bewertet wurde, weil er uns an Dinge erinnert, die wir als Menschen in der Masse heutzutage als lästig empfinden, die aber so wesentlich für unser Leben sind: Sich Zeit für sich selbst nehmen. Ohne Internet Zeit verbringen. Miteinander reden. Konflikte aushalten. Wieder Menschen werden. Wenn wir das so schrecklich finden, gilt vielleicht wirklich, was Neil Postman schon in den 80ern geschrieben hatte: "Wir amüsieren uns zu Tode!"
