A Playful Love

This movie was awful. The supporting characters were annoying. They went for comedy with the over the top drama teacher and failed miserably. The work assistant seemed like she had a fake accent. Every line sounded awkward because of it.

The lead characters were slightly better, but they still spent too much of the movie interacting like snarky coworkers rather than potential romantic partners. Their kids had the most genuine interactions in the movie, so I give them credit for that.

The worst part of the movie, though, was the outstandingly obvious and insultingly out of place advertisment for chicken. The kid said the brand name, showed the package of the chicken, then put it on the table for the camera to zoom in on it. Then the four lead characters gathered around to sit and eat the chicken, while one of them described how convenient, high-quality, and healthy it was. Product placement can be acceptable, but they wrote an entire scene around this garbage. Brutal.
