The Plus One

Poorly written and/or edited. So many things didn't make sense, and the flow was disjointed. I was left with questions that I really didn't care enough to know the answers to. The parting in Ashanti's wig stole the show for me as my eyes were automatically drawn to it's odd coloring every time she was in a scene. The single exception was the scene where they were waiting for Marshall to arrive so they could eat. Definitely needed some color-matched concealer in that part! This would be another issue that would lend to this movie's Tubi-like feel. The acting itself wasn't horrible, but I was left feeling like maybe some key points may have been left on the cutting room floor...I would hope.

Whoever wrote this and directed it was very in touch with toxic masculinity and extremely out of touch with progressive, conscious interpersonal relationships. A movie where the bride was silenced and gaslit into being abused and disrespected continuously. Very hard to watch, we honestly almost didn't finish it, but it was like a train wreck, we couldn't look away. The music is atrocious and almost makes a person want to rip their eyeballs out. It reminded me of a Lifetime movie, very driven by the patriarchy, no depth, and completely nonsensical. I love the actors, they did a great job with what they were given. So this is nothing against them. A word of advice for the creators in charge, romcoms that are original and up to speed with at least the current median vibration of intelligence, are likely to fair better in an exponentially evolving world.

This was THEE cheesiest, most useless movie I've ever seen! Total waste of money & time to have made this junk. I really don't understand what was the point of this horrendous movie and even more, I'm amazed that it was actually green lit to production. If there's an award for the most horribly written & most horribly acted movie, this is it! This movie had to have been written when the writers strike was going on because what in thee entire heck was that!?! I was looking forward to Cedric the Entertainers role and I was terribly disappointed. Ashanti isn't the best off actresses, but this role took down her acting cred at minimum, ten notches. If I could give zero stars, that's what it would get.

If I could burn the memory of this movie out of my mind, I would.

This left me feeling ragey with no resolve. I have never hated every single character of a movie before.

So many misses. So many stupid scenarios.

I don't ever review movies but I felt compelled to create this account so I could write one about this one. Rotten tomatoes graded this way too high. 33%!?! Z E R O PERCENT. Zeee RO.

Nobody stood up for Ashanti's character. I don't know how she didn't turn this flop into a flip the eff out.

600 words is what I'm supposed to give this as a minimum!? Lord - the title is all I wanted to give at all.

This movie was painful and obvious. The bride was being hushed and dismissed so much it's disgusting. Not funny and this was borderline mentally and emotionally abusive. Marie was intrusive, disrespectful, and crossed all boundaries. And her best friend was so insensitive. The gaslighting, the CRINGE!!! Why was she not allowed to have her way for her own wedding? She was made to feel wrong about that woman totally ruining HER weekend and it's disgusting. I hate this movie, this is not a comedy, it's triggering. Whoever came up with this, huge fail. Waste of some amazing actors talents. Seriously.
