The Argument

The premise of the story is pretty crazy. I can't get into the story at all. Even though the ending justifies all the preceding footage, I can't get into the story at all.

A couple have an argument & basically force their friends ( more Like work Acquaintances) to relive the night that lead up to the Argument over & over (Groundhog Day ish) but less unfolding

It's a perfect set up for a play & indie Film because it only requires one or two locations an Interesting wacky premise. Great cast all fun people to watch and very well put together Hollywood quality ,some awkwardly funny bits.

You do have to suspend your belief quite a bit though Because for a group of friends let alone (Acquaintances) to willingly relive a horrible & awkward night even once just feels highly unlikely.

When they reenact the night the 1st time there's only one voice of reason Early on and it takes a bit long for the friends to realise something's up .I think if they had shortened that bit and and made the characters a little more aware/ responsive to the game being played quicker & cut out 10-15 mins overall and Get to the scene when the actors came in quicker. It would have been pretty perfect.

Still an enjoyable and entertaining enough movie if you know what you're going into.

When other people started playing the main characters, that was funny. Thats what it should have been - Maggie Q plays the Australian, who plays the actress, who plays Maggie Q etc. Exaggerating each other. Cause the 1st half was boring

This is a pretty awful attempt, largely because it's written by a full-time colorist new to writing, ugh, and the director is new to directing, coming from soundtracks, so this is why we're all disappointed. Anyone raving with 8/9/10 ratings are studio shills. You'll be leaning on the FF button alot during this self-indulgent time-trap. Avoid if you value your time.

When I see a movie like this I need to think, "SOMEbody besides the writer thought this was worth raising money for." Doesn't work as comedy, satire, irony - you name it. Most of the actors are trying SO hard but this should not earn a spot on their demo reel. I seem to have a policy of watching movies all the way through no matter what, but "The Argument" may make me revisit this decision.
