"Drinking Buddies" a(nother) movie review

I was looking over my blog and I saw my movie review for Footloose and not to toot my own horn, but I thought it was kind of funny.  Then again, I know my own sense of humor and I read it in my own voice, so obviously it's going to be funnier than when another person reads it.  So, I was thinking (or rather, my sister told me I should) about doing another movie review.  So, here it goes.

**spoilers**

Plot:
A guy and a girl work at a beer factory.  They are besties and there is clearly some romantic connection despite them both being in relationships.  They go on a couples weekend at some lake house and things get a little steamy.  Olivia Wilde's boyfriend and Nick from New Girl's girlfriend kiss, but only for a second.  Then, when they get back, Olivia Wilde gets dumped and resorts to alcohol, which is plentiful because they work at a brewery.  She becomes an annoying drunk.  That's as far as I got because the movie was terrible.

To begin, this movie made me so uncomfortable.  I really don't know why, but it did.  I watch a lot of TV and I don't remember ever seeing a commercial for this movie so I'm guessing it didn't do very well.  And I understand why.  There wasn't that much dialogue and the characters all acted in a way that made me uncomfortable because they seemed uncomfortable.  Especially Olivia Wilde's boyfriend in the movie, who was awkward but in a not rom-com cute way, if you know what I mean? Like, he seemed physically uncomfortable the whole movie and therefore made me physically uncomfortable as well.

If that was the aim of the movie, then I guess they did a good job.  But, also, if that was the aim, it was a weird one and a sure way to get the viewer to want to stop watching (which I did).  So, congrats to the directors for making me feel incredibly uneasy!

Next, the acting.  I really have no complaints about the acting.  I mean, it was good.  A little forced at times.  Like, playing cards is not all that funny, and I always hate when I have to watch people pretend to be drunk.  Oh my god, I feel like I'm at a frat party or something.  Personal preference, Anna Kendrick was just kind of annoying the whole time in the movie.  I guess the idea was for the viewer to dislike her character, so good job at that, but I mean she really bothered me.

I couldn't even finish the movie so I don't actually know what happens at the end, but I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Olivia Wilde and Nick from New Girl end up getting together because they are clearly meant to be.  I really just wanted to watch a good rom-com on Netflix, something like 50 First Dates, but Netflix doesn't have a rom-com section, they only have romance and the movie selection in that subject is very limited.  Hence, me watching this movie.  I really wouldn't suggest this movie to anyone.  It was borderline depressing, which is probably why I was so uncomfortable.  There was no happy music playing and a lot of just silence, which I guess is artistic but let's be honest, it's really not.

This is in no way a rom-com, barely even a rom, definitely not a com.  Don't watch it.  Or do, and feel uncomfortable and sad when you are done.

(Edit: I looked the movie up and it actually got good reviews.  Why it got good reviews is beyond me)
