With the concept plot of the movie, you already know just exactly what will happen and how the movie will turn out. And right indeed, the movie was just that predictable.
"The Freebie" is about married couple Annie (played by Katie Aselton) and Darren (played by Dax Shepard) who are toying with the idea of letting each other go out and have a one night stand with whomever they want, without any questions asked. And upon completion of the dirty deed (pardon the pun here), it puts a massive strain on their relationship afterwards.
Right, well the storyline was adequate, although so predictable that you knew what happened well before it actually did. And as such, the movie didn't really hold up much enjoyment.
What did keep the movie sort of afloat was the chemistry between Katie Aselton and Dax Shepard and their portrayal of the married couple. They actually put on rather good performances, but it just didn't really manage to lit the movie out of the trench into which it had dug itself with a questionable storyline.
Now, the movie says comedy and drama, I did, however, fail to find the comedy aspects to this movie. So don't get your hopes up, because this movie will not have you breaking out in cramps from laughing too hard.
If you enjoy movies that deal with life as a married couple and the things that can go wrong in a relationship, then there are far better movies out there. "The Freebie" didn't really deliver much in a fashion that makes the movie all that worthwhile to spend about an hour and a half on watching.
