Advanced Chemistry a fun and often hilarious movie!

The science-based premise is a clever set up for a romcom. Scientist Allen has invented a hormone injection that he hypothesizes can increase attraction and bonding, thus curing cheating. Everything starts out well, when the drug actually works to strengthen Allen's best friend Marcia's bond with her wife Sarah. As you might predict, things soon go awry. Accidental injections! Characters falling for the wrong people!

I found myself laughing out loud at the unexpected turns of events, brilliant physical comedy, and witty dialogue. Highly recommended!

So first off, I would like to say that Samba Schutte is an absolute gem. Please put that man in more leading roles because his comedy is top notch, and I always have a great time watching him on screen. His air guitar is fabulous too!

Overall I think the film was a lot of fun, and very sweet! I loved Chaunte Wayans, Sarah Burns, and Kiran Deol so much! It played heavily on Midsummer's Night Dream, and seemed to be poking fun at quite a lot of romantic comedy tropes (I'm actually amazed at how many it hit!). I love a good satire, and there were definitely some fun call outs to other films.

It's a feel good movie, with over the top humor, and silly antics-- and if you're looking for something chill and silly with some LGBTQ+ themes and a happy ending, it's a nice pick!

The one thing I will mention is I think the film is trying very hard to talk about cheating-- not specifically monogamy but they use the word monogamy a lot. They don't broach the subject of true polyamory (I. E: polyamory where all parties are aware and complicit with multiple partners), but instead it's focused on "cheating" with a major character having multiple partners without the knowledge of their wife knowing. Just a heads up!

Overall, it's a fantastic film, with lots of different characters I actually care about (which is hard for a romantic comedy in my opinion!) -- and seeing real character growth in so many was really enjoyable. Oh, and some ridiculous physical comedy that I have to admire too. Everyone involved was hilarious-- and I loved the outtakes at the end!

Advanced Chemistry is a fun comedy and a great vehicle for Samba Schutte, best known as Roach on Our Flag Means Death. Schutte played Allen, a biochemist who doesn't have much with the ladies, and so develops a drug that - with any luck - will remedy the situation.

Excellent supporting cast, including Chauntte Wayans, as Allen's bestie. Marcia, Kieran Deol, as Allen's work colleague, Lisa, and Sarah Burns, playing Marcia's wife, Sarah.

Written by Alec Moore and directed by Etana Jacobsen, Advanced Chemistry is the perfect film for a Rainey afternoon, when you just want to chill and have a relax.

In my opinion, this movie is highly overrated by all the other reviewers. And I mean all, because all of them uniformly rate it 10 stars out of 10. This alone is suspicious, as are the identically high ratings the movie receives on the website Rotten Tomatoes. I wonder whether the people who made this movie solicited and received reviews from their friends and families. There are far better comedies that do not receive such over-the-top reviews: all raves and not a hint of criticism. Yes, the movie is occasionally funny, but rarely in a laugh-out-loud way. It is a bit repetitive, to the point of being slightly boring. I did like some, but not all, of the characters. I especially liked the actors Kiran Deol and Iqbal Theba.
