Review of The Freebie (2010) by Chris J — 16 Mar 2011
A convincing illustration of the way stupid ideas can get traction if discussed at the right moment by people inclined to agree with one another, "The Freebie" takes a sweet if thrill-free marriage and threatens to throw it under a truck for the sake of contemporary sexual ideals.
Writer-director-star Katie Aselton and Dax Shepherd are brilliant from the likeable, funny scenes to the awkward silences and bitterness that follow. But throughout, the believable naturalism of improvised dialogue and the intimacy of the movie's unassuming but skillful style makes the misguided protagonists easy to root for.
