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.

The unicorn really delves with an issue that many couples have considered ( as a triage when the wed is dedd in the bed) ,thought of, played with or simply not liked it at all. and i am also quite sure that many couples have had or will have or get the opportunity to have the discussion of or quarel about or even just get the chance to dive into a menage a troix or threesome or trike or triathlon or cross country or whatever. its volvo kosher avekmoi cissoir on the menu, you can choose between bbg or ggb, or ggg or bbb if your lgbtq. and then you can start deliberating, and i guess thats the worst part.
and this film gives 90% of the answers and prblematic issues connected to this bodyclustering phenomena. its not overly funny acted, but it gives a vivid insight to the term. the main actors are very truthful in the act, a less experienced actor wouldve shown all the signs of discomfort gig(-olo)ling away the dollars in repetetiv shoots of laughter, so well done.
the language spoken here are pretty rude english, the f-word are commonly used,and it sort of breaks the ice,else the writing are good,so are the plot and the cinematography. great use of deep and shallow focus,that carries the story a level higher than usual. its also very colorful in the costumes make up and props, and delivers till the end.
shall you try it out too, well then ask henry first,and thereafter do take the advice from the grumpy old man, still married even without a treesome, cause he recommends it

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.

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.

There's been many movies where you think "how can this be so stupid "and sometimes and I mean sometimes,it ends up being funny- this isn't one of them. Subtle comedy has its place but you must laugh occasionally. Never laughed once.
