Oh, Hi!

Whether you will enjoy "Oh, Hi!" or not depends on your expectations for this movie. Are you in the mood to watch a silly romantic black comedy? Well, chances are you'll like it. Did you come for an erotic drama with thriller undertones? You won't get that. If you adjust your expectations, you'll be able to have fun. I know I did. Just don't take everything so seriously. The movie does start to overstay its welcome around the one-hour mark, when it starts to drag a little bit, and Iris' moronic friends can get on your nerves with their stupid attitudes that serve the plot rather than anything else. Overall, I liked it. It's always nice to see Logan Lerman, especially if he's shirtless and cuffed to a bed. "Oh, Hi" reminded me of the better movie about romantic relationships that came out earlier this year, "Together". I kind of wished I was watching that instead. But I promise you, I still had fun with this indie chick flick.

Molly Gordon & Logan Lerman play a couple who drive to the country for a weekend getaway. Their seemingly burgeoning romance ends up with him chained to the bed facing her outrage at his lack of fidelity. This unusual situation works, thanks to the engaging duo and writer/director Sophie Brooks breezy, cheeky approach. Toss in the additional low-key comic style of Geraldine Viswanathan, John Reynolds and David Cross to add a bit more. While there is too much discussion about commitment and the whole endeavor seems a bit far-fetched, the film still manages to provide an unusual angle on modern romance.
