Unexpected (I) (2023)
1/10
Nonsensical unfunny trash
2 April 2024
What the heck did I just attempt to watch? Was it a comedy? Because if it was it was about as funny as a root canal! Was it a drama? Because in that case the character's were about as unrealistic and unrelatable as it's possible to be. I tried so hard to like this film. But I had to skip through to the end after 30 painful minutes.

The film follows an infertile couple as they navigate their childlessness and bouts of toddleresque emotional instability. Yes grown men and women can apparently have tantrums? They never actually communicate with one another and make insane decisions without the other's input. Decisions that would send most couples to the divorce court.

Joseph Mazello's (of the acclaimed Pacific) character tries to engage in "therapy", but the satire (?) completely misses the mark. Too idiotic to be believable and too dumb to be good satire.

Honestly this just feels like it was written by teenagers playing around with big emotions and trying to be funny, whilst achieving neither.

Completely deserves the low ratings it is getting. Please don't waste your life on this. Go watch Instant family instead.
