Review of Drunk Parents (2019) by Nobodyyouknow — 24 Aug 2020

Lazy, cynical writing amounted to no laughs for me. Half way through, I started fast-forwarding because I did not laugh a single time up to that point.

Baldwin's comic timing and delivery are always good, but it's lipstick on a pig; the script is just not funny. Dropping f-bombs does not a comedy make. And I don't know why Hayek was cast in this. She's even less funny than the script. And the comic ability of Jim Gaffigan was utterly wasted.

The few attempts at warmth fell flat. You can't have your characters act like moronic, self-absorbed a-holes and expect the audience to have any emotional connection to them.

Thoroughly disappointed by this movie.
