The Unicorn

I actually really Lauren Lapkus and the trailer was appealing... so yeah I was looking forward to this. It was truly insufferable! Just awkward and not funny. And lame. Just lame. Every character is unlikable and unsexy in their own unique way, I nearly gave up watching halfway through.

I usually am biased towards men in stories or more likely to understand and get on the side of men. Not always of course, but like with Kramer vs. Kramer to name one, I was fully invested with Dustin Hoffmans character. I think that makes sense for most. In this case, not just because of Lauren Lupkus, I have to admit, I am almost entirely on her side, when arguments arise.

Of course, she plays a character so I'm obviously talking about the character she portrays and the same goes for her male co star. Having said that and back to my summary word: that's the German title of the movie. I guess to make it easier to digest and more accessible to audiences. I guess that makes sense. The movie is quite interesting and funny. It does have flaws, but considering the fine line it walks between being (trying to be) sexy and being funny, it really works quite well. Add to that a drama element and it is quite the hill this has to arise ... I mean climb over. Not perfect by any sense, but with the right actors to yank it ... I mean pull it off! Stay throughout the credits for some outtakes (you could tell they had fun, here's the video evidence)

There's been many movies where you think "how can this be so stupid "and sometimes and I mean sometimes,it ends up being funny- this isn't one of them. Subtle comedy has its place but you must laugh occasionally. Never laughed once.

Promising plot but eventually goes nowhere. A committed couple that's been engaged forever with no wedding bells on sight have an eventual night. There's massages, raunchy in laws, hooker's, a gay bar all leading up to a three some. Within that hidden insecurities as is the norm is brought to the fore... Could have been really promising but eventually falls flat.

I don't think I could have cared any less about these characters. They want to have a threesome because they are bored with each other. The main guy is especially insufferable. I couldn't wait for his face to leave the screen. Lucy Hale gets two scenes, and they are awful. Nothing about this was remotely funny. This should have never been written.
