The Layover

Wasn't that bad I've seen worst we all do , main reason of watching this movie I wanted to kill some time in early morning 5am so other genres won't fit at this time so comedy was my choice also because of Alexandra Daddario in it , The movie was funny enough for me wasn't that great and wasn't that bad either so don't depend on the rating and reviews all the time !

Is this movie kind of dumb? Yes. But did I enjoy it? Honestly- yes. Obviously the whole trope that two good friends would jeopardize said friendship over a random guy is ridiculously overdone and stupid, but as long as you don't take it seriously you'll have a solid time. It's not witty humor- it's largely slapstick comedy. If that's not your thing, then skip it. But if you're looking for something dumb but entertaining, give it a shot.

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?

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.

I am guessing the main reason to watch this movie is the cast, and it delivers. Everything you would expect to be there, is there - in full.

Dialogue is a bit stilted, but then again: to be expected. Acting and story also not amongst the strengths of this flick.

All in all: one of the breast movies of 2017.
