Didn't expect that.
It seems, some people have lost their ability to judge class.
"Crash Pad" is a true gem amongst the numerous romantic comedies that try but ultimately fail to present some real heart and wit.
What expecially stands out with this movie is the witty, polished dialogues.
I haven't heard people talk like this in a long time - it reminds me of the great screwball comedies of the past.
Most movies of today forget that there is a duty to fulfill: To produce memorable characters and quotable, unique dialogue. "Crash Pad" succeeds massively.
I haven't had so much fun in a long time, and on top there's real heart in it.
Don't listen to the bad reviews. You won't regret watching this.

Actually as it seems, all you need is good actors. Is this otherwise a juvenille romantic comedy? I think you have strong arguments for that. You could also argue: relax, laugh a little. Have fun with it, just go with the flow and roll with it.
Now depending if you can do that, you will be entertained. The actors really do their best. Even in the bad moments, when our main character feels down (and that happens a lot), you stick with him and you want his journey to succeed ... he may be a hopeless romantic, but he also has other sides to him. Which make him more colorful and tough to pin down - for better or worse.
Really good performances as I already said. You just have to dig the humor ... which you'll hopefully do.

On the surface, Crash Pad is the typical men are like this/women are like that/nothing matters just get laid comedy, but there's more to it than what meets the eye at first glance.
The acting is frankly brilliant. Domhnall Gleeson's comedic genius really shines through; I can't wait to see more of him in this genre. His chemistry with Haden Church is hilarious, and Christina Applegate's emotional performance makes you feel for her cardboard-character.
The script tries too hard at times, but the one-liners are very memorable, and the jokes that land land hard. I loved how over-the-top and self-aware it was; the best comedies are always comedies of comedies.
I'm not sure who the target audience was. Fans of romcoms might find it offensive; romcom haters might find it too silly and clichéd; but if you don't have expectations and let this movie surprise you, you'll have a fun time.

Charming and full of heart with a great cast and a good script.
Won't get the credit it deserves.

This film tells the story of a young man who meets the woman of his dreams. The morning after, she tells him that she is in fact married. The young man decides to seek revenge, but the most unlikely thing ensues as her husband moves in with him.
It is unfortunate that the story is just over the top, irritating and not funny. The things that happen in the story are just too juvenile. Drinking from a homeless man's boot is something even stoner films writer can't imagine. All the excessive drinking and womanising does not help to make the characters anymore sympathetic either. The two men just appears to be giant jerks. I cannot say I enjoyed watching it.

- TriviaWriter Jeremy Catalino originally conceived of the story for Mon coup d'un soir, mon ex et moi (2017) after meeting a married woman online and having a weekend-long affair with her. He wondered what would happen if the woman's husband found out about the affair and came after him. As of the film's release, Catalino and the woman both live in Portland, OR and remain friends.
- GoofsWhen Stensland watches the TV show, "Dawson's Creek," which the character claims was recorded onto VHS from its original air-date, the theme song is inaccurate. It's not the original theme song (Paula Cole's "I Don't Want to Wait"), but rather, it's Jann Arden's "Run Like Mad;" an alternative theme song used for the DVD and Netflix releases to avoid paying expensive royalties to Paula Cole.
