Review of The List

The List (II) (2023)
5/10
she tries
25 August 2023
Abby Meyers (Halston Sage) is at a New York City bar with her friends and her fiance when famous actress Kenzie Scott walks in. The conversation quickly turns to celebrity passes as everybody makes up their own list. During the wedding shower, her fiance lets slip that he slept with Kenzie Scott after the bar encounter and this sends her into a tailspin. Her best friend Chloe (Chrissie Fit) takes her to L. A. where she starts hunting down her own list with Chloe's ex Sam (Shelley Hennig)'s help.

As often is the case in this type of rom-com, the hot young girl with model looks just can't get laid. It's a stupid trope. Halston Sage is a hot actress with some comedic chops. She tries. Comedy is not her best skillset but she tries. The stale comedy writing is not helping her and those two guys seems to be relative newcomers. I think Halston can be unleashed with better material and more physical comedy. She needs to do more slapstick to heighten the comedy. Plenty of hot ladies have made that comedic leap and she can be one of them.
