Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Floated2 The Layover is an R-rated comedy starring Kate Upton and Alexandra Daddrio. The film has its moments but it's clear from its trailers what to expect. Being largely panned from critics, one should have low expectations when watching. At most, the Layover, the film feels like a teenage sitcom or something in which twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have done in their time back then.The comedy isn't too forced but it really isn't funny in many ways. Predictable and television type humor. The film isn't too long which passes time quickly, though other than most there is some entertainment watching both leads interact with one another. It's a light hearted comedy, perhaps some critics are being too harsh. It's what to expect.
SnoopyStyle Meg (Kate Upton) and Kate (Alexandra Daddario) are best friends since childhood. The two Seattle roommates are struggling and Meg decides on a girls trip to Fort Lauderdale. They have hunky Ryan (Matt Barr) sitting in between them and a competition ensues. The plane is diverted to St. Louis due to a hurricane. They stay at a hotel with fellow passengers. The threesome join passenger Craig (Matt Jones) on a drive to the Fort.William H. Macy tries his hand at directing. It's questionable how two of the hottest women on the planet would fight over the same guy. Sure he's hunky but these girls could snap their fingers and get any guy they want. As for their acting talents, Kate Upton functions well for an SI Swimsuit model. Daddario actually has some comedic skills although that's not her natural talents. It's also weird to have her as a less-hot side kick. That standard role has a pantheon of great actresses. I don't think she is build to play one. While this has some slapstick fun, it can never overcome the hot-girl-struggles problem. Daddario is too hot to be the dumpy best friend. Although I love Daddario, her role needs to be given to a real comedian. The script is nothing to write home about. I do sympathize with the girls trying their best.
thekarmicnomad Two women who have known each other since school find themselves down on their luck. One is impulsive and care-free the other responsible and considered. A spontaneous trip away sees them stranded with a hot guy they are both interested in.This is a pretty well used format, but normally with two guys chasing a pretty girl. With the genders flipped it means the knob gags are switched for boob gags and the girls try to out-flirt each other rather than out- impress each other.Now there is nothing particularly new here and I didn't find the film hilariously funny.But the two leads are very engaging and have great chemistry. Their relationship is quite subtly handled and I enjoyed their antics. Their quarry fits the bill perfectly and feels worthy of their attention.This isn't the funniest or slickest comedy out there but I found it a great waste of ninety minutes.
Ananya Okay, this movie is definitely not one of the best movies I've ever seen. But it also isn't as bad as some of the other reviews are trying to make it seem.I watched The Layover on a boring afternoon because of Matt Barr (Gotta love Psycho Derek), Kate Upton, and Alexandra Daddario. With a cast like that, how could I resist? I loved Kate Upton in The Other Woman and hoped that this movie would be similar and even though it wasn't, I still liked it.I enjoyed watching this movie very much. It's obviously crazy unrealistic. I mean, Meg and Kate are literally the worst best friends ever. And I kinda figured out that it would be Ryan's wedding in the end. It was still fun to watch though. In conclusion, if you're bored and want something to make you laugh, watch this movie.
