ksf-2 Review of Funny Thing About Love

Funny Thing About Love (2021)

script had flaws. nothing funny in here...

[5/10 · 19 May 2022]

So the film opens with samantha (summer bellessa) bringing bryce (jason gray) home for the holidays. Where he promptly gets punched in the genitals, for no reason. That's not funny at all. Strike one. Then he gets insulted by the host's husband. I'd go stay in a best western. Small roles for barry corbin and jon heder. Although most of corbin's scenes look like they were filmed somewhere else... he's usually sitting or standing by himself. Nothing funny in this one, in spite of the title. And the slow, serious, soap opera music keeps playing... for no reason. Weird. I think the big problem here is that the story isn't sure what it wants to be. Comedy? Drama? Love story? It feels like a hallmark channel movie, but it's showing on roku channel. Written and directed by adam white. No surprises at all in this one, except that someone does something, completely against character, which the author decided was the only way to work the story, and which we could see coming down the road, way ahead of time. Not so good.
