The Drop

The Drop is one of those movies that is so bad it's good. While it may not be the funniest film out there, it certainly has enough funny moments to make it an enjoyable comedy.

The plot is goofy and nothing groundbreaking, but it serves as a decent enough backdrop for the film's many comedic moments.

One of the standout features of The Drop is its cast. The film features a talented group of actors who all deliver solid performances, even if the material they are working with is not always up to par.

While the film is certainly not without its flaws - the pacing can be a bit uneven at times, and some of the jokes fall flat - it is ultimately an enjoyable comedy that is worth a watch. It may not be the funniest movie out there, but it has enough laughs to make it a decent way to pass the time. If you're in the mood for a lighthearted comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously, The Drop is definitely worth checking out.

"The Drop" is a film that had the potential to be a cringe-worthy comedy, but unfortunately, it falls short in delivering on that promise. The premise of a woman dropping her friends' baby on her head while attending their tropical getaway wedding is intriguing, but the film fails to fully explore the comedic potential of that situation. Director and co-writer Sarah Adina Smith offers some inspired moments and laughs here and there, but too often, running bits simply don't pay off. The pacing is shaggy, and it feels as if the actors did a lot of improvising. The characters are all so superficial and unlikable that it often makes the film feel interminable.

The film follows married Los Angeles bakers Lex and Mani as they attend the destination wedding of their lesbian friends, Peggy and Mia. The wedding party is made up of a bunch of awful, selfish people who rip into each other, but they are not flawed in a complicated, compelling way. The dialogue is low-key, and the pacing is shaggy, making it difficult to care when the film aims for real emotional stakes towards the end. The film starts off upbeat and optimistic, but as the weekend progresses, the problems arise, and the film never feels like it's going anywhere.

In conclusion, "The Drop" is a film that had the potential to be a cringe-worthy comedy, but it falls short in delivering on that promise. The pacing is shaggy, the characters are unlikable, and the film never feels like it's going anywhere.

The Drop (2022) is a movie that my wife and I recently watched together on Hulu. The storyline follows a "happily married couple" who upon arriving at a destination wedding accidentally drops one of the guest's babies. As the couple are around the other couples during various wedding activities, they determine they aren't so happy; maybe happier than the other couples, but not where they need to be.

This movie is directed by Sarah Adina Smith (The Midnight Swim) and stars Jermaine Fowler (Coming to America 2), Anna Konkle (Rosewood), Robin Thede (Insecure), Jennifer Lafleur (Nope), Elisha Henig (The Sinner), Utkarsh Ambudkar (Free Guy) and Joshua Leonard (Blair Witch Project).

The storyline for this had some potential but the comedic content was inconsistent. The diversity of the characters and the relationship dynamics were unique and well displayed. The dialogue and soundtrack at times is painful as is some of the comedic scenarios which were stale and painful to watch. There are some good chuckles, and the cast delivers excellent performances, but the writing was very up and down. This movie doesn't take itself seriously at all and wasn't very realistic. It is shot well and I was impressed with the cinematography.

Overall, this was a good concept that falls short of its potential due to inconsistent writing. I would score this a 4/10 and only recommend if nothing better is on.

The Drop gets some harsh negative reviews on here. I agree it isn't the greatest comedy but there are enough funny scenes to keep you entertained. I basically watched this one because I like Jillian Bell. Without knowing what the movie was going to be about I was genuinely surprised by the actual drop, thought it was going to be something completely different. Not a bad thing though as it was surprising and funny. The problem with the plot is that there are too much scenes that aren't that funny. The good scenes compensate a bit but not enough to make it exceptionally good. The Drop is worth a watch but that's about it.

Even though the trailer is not attractable, I expected some quite good things from this movie because of some familiar talents and also the Production companies which are "Hulu" & "Stage 6 Film". But it was such a total Lack of taste at all & a waste of my time. I didn't see any comedic sense throughout the entire movie. Most of their scripts are all about Dirty Jokes which are not funny or hilarious as well. The Cinematogrpahy standard is too low which feels like they have filmed with a Director's smartphone. It is too early to say that but this could be one of the worst movies for 2023 for sure.
