Simply A Masterpiece

Sadly Over-hyped

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I absolutely loved this film, being female I have seen the competition for a guy over the years and it does happen. Sometimes friends are attracted to the same guy and will try and out do each other. Both Kate and Alexandra did a fabulous job acting so crazy for this one guy. The lengths they go too literally had me laughing so loud. The girls are totally opposite in personality but both equally gorgeous. Personally I think Zac Efron or Scott Eastwood should have been cast as the guy isn't even really worth the fight. Don't listen to the bad reviews and give this film a go. Definitely a chick flick and well done to the girls.

Sure it's just another lighthearted Thelma & Louise-esque girl road trip comedy, but when you have director William H. Macy from Shameless and screenplay writers David Hornsby (Cricket) and Lance Krall from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, you know you are in for a raunchier brand of humor which might not be some people's cup of tea. I thought it was hilarious.Quite an ambitious comedy project too, considering the cast of Kate Upton and Alexandra Daddario- the bra budget alone was likely enough to bankrupt most studios. Throw in Rob Corddry and Molly Shannon and you have a pretty good movie, worth a watch!

I don't mind that these aren't the most poignant or well-written movies. It's a rom-com; that's not why you watch them. But this was hard to watch at times. It's one thing for them to be constantly competing over a guy, but Kate Upton's character is just awful. She steals her friend's airline miles, locks her in an unsanitary public bathroom, doesn't care when she has a panic attack on a hot air balloon, endangers everyone by blinding the guy flying the balloon, tries to drug her friend, doesn't tell anyone that she accidentally drugged the guy driving the car which led to them getting in a car accident, punches her "friend" in the throat, and probably more I'm forgetting. Alexandra Daddario's character may have competed for the guy, but she always looked out for her friend - warning her about flashing people in a bar, tried to keep her from getting hurt in the pool, and genuinely caring for her friend.From the get-go, you know Upton's character a terrible person. Daddario seems to get in trouble with her job for asking a kid to read from whatever he's hiding, which happens to be inappropriate. Upton's character gets fired for intentionally trying to deceive companies into buying illegal North Korean cosmetics. At least there's a semi-happy ending when they stop living together so Daddario can get her sh*t together without Upton around.

"The Layover" was a fast-paced "road show" comedy with good chemistry between the two lead actors playing Meg and Kate, who are roommates and lifelong friends. The narrative takes them from Seattle to Florida, where they hope to escape from having apparently failed in their careers as a high school teacher and a cosmetics distributor.On the flight, there is a detour, due to a hurricane in Florida. The roommates land in St. Louis after meeting on the plane a charming but rather vacuous hulk named Ryan. The plot unfolds as a competition that turns into a catfight as the roommates vie for the affection of Ryan.The best scenes in the film are those of broad comedy. They include a trip on the hot air balloon over St. Louis in which everything goes wrong. There is also a food fight in a restaurant that culminates in the roommates nearly being arrested.The roommates are stunned to learn that Ryan is not traveling to Florida to attend a wedding, but to be married himself. Finally, the romantic story is resolved when the weary travelers confront Ryan and his bride at the wedding party. Through it all, Kate and Meg learn a little more about themselves and the their flaws in their silly and, at times, compulsive behavior.While "The Layover" is an inconsequential piece of fluff, the film is nonetheless entertaining and includes high octane performances from the two leads, Kate Upton and Alexandra D'Addario. Kate and Meg are both rather nondescript characters when they are alone. But when they are together, their synergy makes them a force of nature and an immovable object for whoever crosses their path.
