Konterr Brilliant and touching
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
jadavix Why did William H. Macy direct this movie?One of the most esteemed actors around has branched into direction in recent years. His first movie, "Rudderless", was an equally uninspired waste of time, but at least the basic premise of that movie wasn't immediately familiar."The Layover" is about two female friends, one a goody-two-shoes, the other an alleged bad girl, who make an impromptu decision to go on a vacation together. On the plane they meet some guy and immediately start competing with each other for him. On the cover, this guy is a dead ringer for "True Blood" Aussie actor Ryan Kwanten, who probably would have been better in the role. The guy they get (Matt Barr) never really conveys anything other than token eye candy, but then, neither does Kate Upton as Meg, the bad girl. She's not as bad an actress as you might expect from someone who is famous only for her looks. But she doesn't really make an impression in this movie aside from that, and nor can you believe her as someone who makes her living as a salesgirl. It mightn't surprise you that the movie isn't funny, unless you know that it was written by David Hornsby and Lance Krall, who were so hilarious on "Joe Schmo". Two seasoned comedy writers and a great actor at the helm. How did they add up to something this forgettable?
Hari Uday It is actually a fun movie. The girls did a fine job and the movie did not looked like it was scripted
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.
Larry Silverstein It's hard to believe one of the screen's fine talents, William H.Macy, directed this abomination of a movie. I don't care if it's raunchy and crude which it certainly is, but it's also horribly unfunny and that's a deadly combination in my book. To add insult to injury, I found the film to be terribly demeaning of women.All in all, save yourself the pain and run far far away from this stinker!
