When Dave Franco said that he and his wife, Alison Brie, had co-written an “elevated” romantic comedy in 2020, the Internet was set ablaze with criticisms. And beastobsessed is now here with a review of 'Somebody I Used To Know.' Is it a SEE or a SKIP?
. Many of these films, largely because they boasted diverse casts, were exciting during their initial release, but, over time, have proven to have little replay value. minus the fun assholery of Roberts’ chaotic Jules Potter. Alison Brie plays a television producer named Ally who has a similarly stern disposition as’ Jane Craig. However, instead of producing hard-news segments, she works on a rather silly competition show called “Dessert Island,” an obvious poke at.
When Ally shows up at Sean’s house after their night out, she unintentionally gets roped into his pre-wedding gatherings. Eventually, she uses these opportunities to get closer to Sean, divulging her Machevillian plan to her high-school friend Benny , who cautions her otherwise. As the film goes on, Ally ends up having more intimate encounters with Cassidy, whose ambitions as a fledgling artist mirror Ally’s television dreams.
As a quasi-romantic lead, Ellis is only really capable of flashing his gorgeous smile. Otherwise, he struggles to exude any real charisma or believable douchey-ness later on. . And Brie, who often plays characters who are high-strung, is too controlled as an actor to depict someone supposedly spiraling out of control.
