The Layover

Maybe the heart of the problem is that Kate and Meg's behavior doesn't track with the practical realities of lifelong, functioning friendship between (most) women as experienced by...well, any functioning adult who lives in the world.

The Layover is an appalling movie.

Yes, it is a movie. But just barely so. I’d say it’s more like an excruciating, embarrassing, profoundly unfunny, poorly shot and astonishingly tone-deaf screech-fest featuring some of the least charismatic performances this side of one of those dreadful “reality” shows.

The movie’s notion of fun comes to involve an unclean rest stop, slipped pills and an eminently foreseeable conclusion.

William H. Macy's The Layover was clearly conceived and written by men who have no interest in approaching female friendships with any degree of complexity, curiosity, or respect.

Second-tier airline safety videos are more entertaining than this fourth-rate comedy. Flight attendants on Southwest’s less-traveled routes are far funnier than the cast here. Watching a lonely suitcase circle a baggage claim conveyor belt is more diverting.

It’s completely unfair to compare these characters to (say) Abbi and Ilana on Broad City, funny women who derive dignity from their friendship. But that’s a show written, created, and performed by women, while this film’s creative trust is a clueless, retrograde sausage festivus.

Wasn't that bad I've seen worst we all do , main reason of watching this movie I wanted to kill some time in early morning 5am so other genres won't fit at this time so comedy was my choice also because of Alexandra Daddario in it , The movie was funny enough for me wasn't that great and wasn't that bad either so don't depend on the rating and reviews all the time !

What a dumpster fire of a film. It's not funny, the story is boring, and the ending is so forced. It's a complete waste of time and money.

Whichever board of horndog film executives OK'd this film deserve to be dragged out into the street and shot. If anyone ever tries to tell you that the objectification of women is no longer a problem in mainstream film, get them to watch this movie so that they'll shut up.

Directed by William H Macy, The Layover takes the cake for one of the worst movies I've seen all year. While Macy is the director, I would certainly blame the writing and the creative team behind this for creating a screenplay that is so shameless that its doesn't make any attempts to be good in a shameless way. Daddario, clearly making films(Baywatch, True Detective) to showoff her body does nothing to disprove that she is an awful actress and Kate Upton is the same but to a worse degree. The characters in this movies are stupid and their characterizations are even more stupid hence it makes it almost impossible to relate or even sympathize with them in anyway. This is not a good movie, it has to be one of the worst comedies I've seen since Dirty Grandpa or at least one of the worst comedies Ive seen in a few years.
