The Drop

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.

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.

Here's the thing about a Duplass brother's film : they come up with a concept, an idea, usually one that's thought provoking or is intended on holding a mirror up to society and the viewer - but these screenplays are very thin and tend to rely heavily on the talent of the respective cast to fill in all of the gaps and spaces and "lacking moments" - and don't get me wrong, I LOVE Aparna and Anna Konkle (they are both madly funny although in different ways - and huge talents) and, of course with Jillian Bell it goes d without saying - buy in my opinion, in many of the more recent Duplass productions and definitely in 'The Drop' this is especially true - it's just lacking and to label it a 'cringe comedy' Is a cop out -

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.

The Drop tells the story of 4 couples at a destination wedding when one friend drops a baby. The movie will then spend most of the runtime in the fall out of this and the wedding after.

Mark Duplass is one of my favorite film makers/actors and when I saw him promote this, I figured I'd give it a shot. The story itself is dreadfully written. The movie itself has been done many times where a group of couples have a weekend together and compare their relationships for one reason or another. I feel like the writer thought wouldn't it be just hilarious if the reason was that someone dropped a child? No not really it turns out.

The characters are remarkably unlikeable. Most are selfish , one demential narcissistic and have terrible chemistry with each other. The entire story itself is so shallow it doesn't justify the movie's gimmick. This isn't a dark comedy and most of the humor comes from sex jokes. Some work, most don't and thinking back I can think of 4-5 times I laughed out loud. With so many desperate jokes though it has a very low hit rate and it takes away from the things that actually do work.

Overall due to the terrible plot, shallow writing and characters this makes for a dreadful and pointless movie. There are some laughable moments but they are pancaked in by udder dreadfulness. Drop this entire movie from your que.
