Stretch (2014)
10/10
Crazy, ridiculous, fun, wild ride

Entertaining yet somewhat predictable journey for the main character. But the investment in the character & his growth makes you watch until the end. Outrageously insane series of events throughout the film. The biggest highlight is the acting from everyone involved, even the cameos. Patrick Wilson carries this film all on his own with charm, charisma & emotion. Chris Pine is an extremely eccentric lunatic yet intelligent. He's very commanding with his screen presence. Ed Helms is great in his own twisted role as well. But the one that surprised me most was Jessica Alba. I had low expectations from her, even though I enjoyed her in dark angel. She's just very cringe-worthy in everything else I've seen from her besides that show. But I was genuinely shocked at how good she was here. I loved her back-and-forth with Patrick in their first scene together. The fact that their scenes were almost all over the phone really impressed me. It must not be easy to have almost all your chemistry together on the phone but they pulled it off. Their chemistry & relationship was convincing & likable. The ending was very satisfying.
