STORYLINE: An American couple, on the verge of adopting a baby, goes on an Italian vacation – an opportunity to reconnect before the new addition arrives. Everything is picture-perfect; the epitome of a European baby moon, when things begin to spiral out of control. On the way to a fabulous dinner, they get their rental car stuck in a ditch and are stranded in rural nowhere in a downpour. These two Americans, who are used to being catered to, are now in a foreign land without service, an Italian language comprehension of about zero, and clear relationship turmoil that could explode at any minute. Fear obviously takes over. (IMDb)
Horror comedies are a near perfect blend for me. I like to laugh, I like to be scared. The really good ones, such as Shaun of the Drac (2004) and Scary Movie 2 (2001) are a blasr to watch. Recently I stumbled on a new film in the genre match up, I Don’t Understand You, and thought why not give it a shot.
By the time the lights where turned back on I was unimpressed with the feature presentation I had just watched. The jokes fell flat, and fell awkward at times. I don’t mind awkward if it makes a point, but in the case of I Don’t Understand You it did nothing to add to the message of the film.
There were moments that I caught myself thinking ‘come on let’s get this over with, already’. In any film that is never a good thing, especially one that has a runtime that is just slightly longer than ninety minutes.
In the end they all can’t be winners, no ,anger how much I may want them to be.
Until next time I will see you at the movies!
