The Drop

The Drop (2022) is a movie that my wife and I recently watched together on Hulu. The storyline follows a "happily married couple" who upon arriving at a destination wedding accidentally drops one of the guest's babies. As the couple are around the other couples during various wedding activities, they determine they aren't so happy; maybe happier than the other couples, but not where they need to be.

This movie is directed by Sarah Adina Smith (The Midnight Swim) and stars Jermaine Fowler (Coming to America 2), Anna Konkle (Rosewood), Robin Thede (Insecure), Jennifer Lafleur (Nope), Elisha Henig (The Sinner), Utkarsh Ambudkar (Free Guy) and Joshua Leonard (Blair Witch Project).

The storyline for this had some potential but the comedic content was inconsistent. The diversity of the characters and the relationship dynamics were unique and well displayed. The dialogue and soundtrack at times is painful as is some of the comedic scenarios which were stale and painful to watch. There are some good chuckles, and the cast delivers excellent performances, but the writing was very up and down. This movie doesn't take itself seriously at all and wasn't very realistic. It is shot well and I was impressed with the cinematography.

Overall, this was a good concept that falls short of its potential due to inconsistent writing. I would score this a 4/10 and only recommend if nothing better is on.

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.

Bad. Maybe I don't get it!? Not funny. The set up was there but not the punchline. Again. I just might not get it. Not for me. So I guess it's maybe a very long narrative that is the setup and then the punchline, if you can call it that, didn't deliver. This "comedy" goes over my head. Bad. Maybe I don't get it!? Not funny. The set up was there but not the punchline. Again. I just might not get it. Not for me. So I guess it's maybe a very long narrative that is the setup and then the punchline, if you can call it that, didn't deliver. This "comedy" goes over my head. Maybe it's French style comedy that I don't "get". Definitely a different take on a comedy movie. You tell me. I say bad. Waste of time.

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.

Not witty, not funny, not anything really. Horrible writing and character development because I seriously couldn't have cared less about the majority of them or any of the relationships working out. Jillian Bell is the only reason this movie got bumped up from 1 star to 2, at least she is good for some chuckles given you like her brand of humor. If she wasn't in it, I don't think I would've made it through the whole movie. I've never been more annoyed by an entire cast in my life. Cringe doesn't even describe it. More like painful.

I audibly laughed when I saw a 10 star review in here. You can't convince me that wasn't posted by someone from the cast, crew or one of their friends or family.
