The Relationtrip

The Relationtrip is a bit of magic. It is a Matryoshka doll of a movie that manages to root itself with every surprise. AND THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF SURPRISES. It sets itself up in its opening moments as a kind of "no longer children/not yet adults" romantic comedy, (a kind of cinematic ASMR) filled with an endless stream of adorable banter between two people we would all love to be friends with. I was fairly certain I had it figured out, just long enough to leave me completely disarmed.

STICK WITH IT! When the fireworks started popping off, all of my fears, hopes and dreams of a relationship showed up on screen in imaginative leaps and bounds. I hesitate to detail any of them as I count myself incredibly lucky to have been surprised and won over.

It's a difficult movie to describe. There's very little like it. But in the end, it's very, very funny, and true...and funny.

I got the opportunity to watch a screening of this film last night. It was quite the enjoyable and entertaining trip. Auteur, surreal and completely relatable.

The acting was great, a wide range... sweet and funny. I also particularly liked the music.

Wish there were more films like this. Do what you can to see this!

Kudos to the filmmakers. Looking forward to what's next.

What a delight from beginning to end. A trip through fun, surreal, life, friends, relationships and relationtrips! An honest look at today's romance. Fast pace with heart and oh so much energy. Acting superb. Just loved the music too. Not to be missed. We wonder what's next. Kudos to everyone involved. We need more movies like this to uplift our spirits. The Relationtrip, a real gem!

Disclosure: I wanted to see this because I am a fan of NCIS:LA. I LOVED the movie because it was clever, well written, well acted and not only made me laugh out loud but touched on several truths about how we see ourselves and others. Everyone will find something to relate to, even old ladies like me. Renee Felce Smith and Matt Bush were terrific as the not so star-crossed lovers. Eric Christian Olsen as the voice of Chippy was great and the appearance by Lnda Hunt was the cherry on top. Well done all!

Super bummed I almost don't watch them because of its low IMDB rating. Usually, IMDB is on point, but it's definitely not when it comes to this movie.

This movie is amazing. If you're into weird and unpredictable and you enjoy watching painfully funny and uncomfortable scene, you'll enjoy this movie.

There one liners are pretty great too.
