I love a dark comedy, and no one delivers them better than Jason
Bateman, who seriously knocks this movie genre out of the park. I thought the
trailer for this film was decent enough, but it was definitely Bateman who
hyped my anticipation for this film. It was a bonus that Rachel McAdams is
cast, as she also shines in roles like this. As most movie goers, I am still coming
off of my Marvel high of Black Panther. However a comedic break from the
fabulosity we all know as Wakanda was still in order. I expected to laugh, and
enjoy this film. So there was little worry for me when purchasing this ticket.
I thought this movie would be
good, but it still found a way to exceed my tepid expectations. The best part
about this movie was the entire cast, whose chemistry set this movie on another
level, especially McAdams and Bateman. Their scenes were hysterical. I laughed
throughout the film, but I also found myself laughing so hard I was in
tears...lol. The writing and story were fun, with interesting twists. The cast
kept the movie going at a nice pace as everyone owned their scenes and were
great characters for the film.
If you are able to move on from
Wakanda, I seriously recommend this comedy as your next stop. I don't think you
will find yourself disappointed...B+
