Dave Franco's second film as director / co-writer: a passable indie-esque rom-dramedy
18 February 2023
In Indie-esque rom-dramedy "Somebody I Used To Know" struggling Hollywood show-runner Alison Brie (who btw co-wrote it with hubbie Dave Franco) visits her mum Julie Hagerty in their small Washington state hometown, where she runs into ex-bf Jay Ellis... who's about to wed Kiersey Clemons. Cue passable love triangle shenanigans (inc his family inc Haley Joel Osment, Olga Merediz & Danny Pudi) with a more dramatic than comedic edge (despite some silly slapstick scenes). Franco's second film as director (in which he loves letting the camera drool over his wife btw) is better than the first ("The Rental") though he's still got room to grow for sure.
