Spin Me Round

 

                    

                      This was one of those nights were I was just scrolling through Hulu, trying to find some kind of romantic themed movie, that I could talk about through the month of February, and really this was one of those movies that I would think "oh this might be intriguing", since the film has the ever beautiful and comedic talent in Alison Brie as well as Aubrey Plaza whose progressing as a talented actress so, again there's some go list of actresses that would be interesting in watching especially when watching the trailer for the first time. Unfortunately, this was one of those movies gave me mixed emotions as well as in ending that I'm not sure if the writer and director gave up or didn't think through his ending, though sadly the director of the film, Jeff Baena died a month ago which for me being new to this news I feel like "The Dude", say "that's a bummer, man"

                      Flown to an Italian immersion program on her company's dime, what starts as a romantic getaway devolves into chaos.

                       I wouldn't say that this movie was all bad, consisting of that the film has a pretty good first and second act the problem is the third act where I felt like they just threw us a loop of confusion that never quite resolved nor gave us in a sense a satisfying ending. Granted the first-two acts are really good mainly because they give us a woman played by Brie, whose a bit lost in life, is gifted with this opportunity by the company to go on a vacation to Italy, though it doesn't go exactly as planned because the funniest part is they go to Italy but they are caged in which is lot like the family vacation I've experienced in the past ten years. But through the course of it she begins to find love in unexpected places with the owner of the company, and then finds a unexpected love from the secretary played by Aubrey Plaza, but is conflicted as well as learning that the owner is not what he seems. For which, goes in an different feel for me because after the first and second act, Aubrey Plaza is nowhere to be found, told through the movie that she's fired, and things just go out of control in terms of the story as well as where is the movie supposed to go, like I would imagine that there would be a conflicted love triangle for Brie to choose between the good looking guy or Plaza's character but then that just doesn't happen. And sure, you can have a unresolved ending true, but when you’re doing a bizarre love story that turns out of control you got to have a satisfying ending especially when the character is first introduced as someone who went through a bad relationship so, in all fairness that whole twist of the third act is what threw me out of the movie as well as not feeling the need to ever watch this movie again. Once I looked up director Jeff Baena and heard that he died of suicide I begin to question ever wanting to write a review of this movie, and the other thing that was sad about this whole ordeal is, that he was married to Aubrey Plaza, which again it was like damn, that sucks. I wouldn't say that this movie was the worst thing I've ever seen. It does have its moments but then, it gets lost in the shuffle of the third act as well as my interest in the movie almost kind of the same vibes as the first Dune movie. I can't say I would recommend the movie for everyone to watch but if you understand the movie better than I could then go nuts whoever you are. Though I'm just going to leave it at that since the unexpected death from Jeff Baena but to everyone whose going through something in life I would highly recommend at least talking to that person and keeping that person at heart not matter what their experiencing or how their feeling.
