Is this from the same director or something? I saw the cast and was like "was Kate Micucci not available?"

Yes. And Baena is married to Plaza.

I bailed on the trailer because it seemed like they were giving a lot away.

As a bit of a sucker for Alison Brie, I'll watch this.

I was about to say, Plaza, Brie, Shannon et. al are going to do a THIRD movie together? But this is a repeat of a thread from a couple of weeks ago:

Ahhh shit. That thread didn't show up when I searched. Sorry. Feel free to delete this one since it's a complete repeat.

I was never a fan of hers, but her one-scene performance in Promising Young Woman is fantastic and heartbreaking. So maybe if she has the right part?

Never cared for her on SNL, and as far as I am concerned, a little of her goes a long way. I can't think of anything where I was glad to see her show up in a role.

Another whacky Baena film. I liked it for the most part.

You can't tell me that Baena, Plaza, Brie, and Franco don't have crazy sex parties in their real life.

I liked The Little Hours and was looking forward to this, but it doesn't seem to be playing anywhere near me.

This was a fun, easy-breezy watch. I'll admit, I laughed pretty hard at the 5-point turn Amber was forced to make at the docks. The last 20 minutes of the movie got pretty crazy.

And I pretty sure that a big reason why Baena made this this movie is so that he could get that hot and heavy scene of Brie and Plaza together on film.

After enjoying a couple of his other movies, didn't really care for this one. Didn't find it funny.

Yeah, I watched it for Brie and Plaza, and it had some moments, but generally it seemed more creepy than funny.

This was supposed to be funny? I did not get that. It was ok, but nothing to gush over. Pretty standard fare.

Finally watched this. I don't get it.

Except for the broad outline of the story, I don't think I could explain what this movie was about or what it was supposed to mean. And like OldBoy, I don't get how this was supposed to be funny. It's not a comedy just because you cast actors known for doing comedies. And Aubrey Plaza just disappears from the movie? I feel like this was an excuse for them to spend time in Italy.

Didn't expect more than to be passably entertained and was completely disappointed.
