The Unicorn

There seems to be this weird sub genre in adult comedies that I'll call "bored couple wants to spice things up", and it always inevitably plays out the same: A seemingly "normal" couple with a bored sex life attempt to spice things up by bringing in "a 3rd", so to speak, and nothing works out as planned in the end.

These films always play out the same way: Their end-goal becomes increasingly difficult due to unseen comedic forces until the pursuit itself impacts their relationship. The couple "learn things about each other" and decide their original quest was a bad idea. Roll credits.

That's not to say these films can't be good, it's all about the quality of the jokes during "the pursuit" that decides that. Unfortunately in this film the jokes fall flat, I'm not sure I came close to laughing the entire time. Also, there was character behavior that was really cliched in an annoying way.

For example, the character played by Lucy Hale was about as unrealistic of a portrayal of a human being as I think I've ever seen. Humans don't act that way.

Ultimately though the film fails because it is just a collection of unfunny skits loosely tied together, and "sex comedies" with no actual sex or nudity are just a tease, and nobody likes a tease.

I don't think I could have cared any less about these characters. They want to have a threesome because they are bored with each other. The main guy is especially insufferable. I couldn't wait for his face to leave the screen. Lucy Hale gets two scenes, and they are awful. Nothing about this was remotely funny. This should have never been written.

Good watch, will likely watch again, and can recommend.

It a great little "self discovery" trope with a great twist of it being a couple that grows.

It has ups and downs, lots of humor, and just a enough dramatization to make you feel for the characters.

Lauren Lapkis is amazing, and Lucy Hale makes a fun cameo.

Most couples that are into sexual exploration don't do it all in one night, and get kicked the entire time, but hell is it entertaining.

It reminds a little of "Duplex", but with a little more focus than is healthy.

I was exited for this movie for a long time, but when I finally watched it it turned out to be a great disappointment. Both actors and their characters are bland and one dimensional, you really don't care if they have their threesome or not. The storyline has no point, the characters just stumble from one scene to another and there are literally 14 scenes in the entire movie and 6 of them were in a stupid car(yes I counted).

The message that this movie wants to send to the audience is that its OK if a woman cheats on a man, he just got to suck it up and love her.

I actually really Lauren Lapkus and the trailer was appealing... so yeah I was looking forward to this. It was truly insufferable! Just awkward and not funny. And lame. Just lame. Every character is unlikable and unsexy in their own unique way, I nearly gave up watching halfway through.
