Crash Pad
Hopeless romantic Stensland thinks he's found true love with an older woman, Morgan, only to learn that she's married and that their fling is merely an instrument of revenge against her neglectful husband, Grady. Initially out for blood, Grady finds himself strangely sympathetic to Stensland's plight and decides to get revenge on his wife instead.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
I think Domhnall Gleeson stars this film. There ´s no problem about this. We´re having a raising star of this generation . A solid comedian who makes the movie totally. Yeah. Applegate is a very talented actress, specially for comedies and does the role perfectly. The cast works OK.The script is invisible, it doesn´t exist. This is another ONE-MAN-COMEDY-FILM made for Domhnall , in Domhnall star figure and for Domhnall own glory, anyway I liked it very much, I like Domhnall a bit more than before
A hopeless romantic, who thinks he's found true love with an older woman, learns that she's married and that the fling is merely an instrument of revenge against her neglectful husband. Crash Pad has 3 perfectly fine actors like Domhnall Gleeson, Thomas Haden Church and Christina Applegate but the writing in all 3 of them is garbage and it feels like something that has come out of a cartoon. The acting is also not that good to begin with and it shows from the first 50 seconds what it was going to be like and it's even worse than i imagined. (0/10)
On the surface, Crash Pad is the typical men are like this/women are like that/nothing matters just get laid comedy, but there's more to it than what meets the eye at first glance. The acting is frankly brilliant. Domhnall Gleeson's comedic genius really shines through; I can't wait to see more of him in this genre. His chemistry with Haden Church is hilarious, and Christina Applegate's emotional performance makes you feel for her cardboard-character. The script tries too hard at times, but the one-liners are very memorable, and the jokes that land land hard. I loved how over-the-top and self-aware it was; the best comedies are always comedies of comedies. I'm not sure who the target audience was. Fans of romcoms might find it offensive; romcom haters might find it too silly and clichéd; but if you don't have expectations and let this movie surprise you, you'll have a fun time.
What a delightful surprise! My husband and I discovered 'Crash Pad' this weekend on itunes because we are big Christina Applegate fans and LOVED it! We plan to watch it again tonight with friends. Amazing cast! Who knew General Hux was sooooo funny?! He steals every damn scene.Please, do yourself a favor and check it out. With annoying remakes added with depressing news - a hilarious comedy like 'Crash Pad' is the antidote. We need more movies like this!!
