The Drop (I) (2022)
4/10
A comedy without laughs...
14 January 2023
I sat down to watch the 2022 comedy "The Drop" here in 2023 without ever having heard about it. But I figured with it being a comedy, that I would give the movie a chance.

Writers Sarah Adina Smith and Joshua Leonard put together a somewhat offbeat storyline and script here. And I guess it is sort of either a love or hate it thing. I found the movie to be a bit too monotonous, and I was sort of disappointed with the total lack of comedy throughout the 92 minutes that the movie ran for.

The acting performances in "The Drop" were actually fairly good, and they had a good cast ensemble. I was only familiar with Jillian Bell and Susan Sullivan on the cast list here.

Sure, "The Drop" was a watchable movie, and there was something interesting about the offbeat approach that they writers took to the storyline. However, I was expecting laughs, as the movie was labeled as a comedy, so I ended up somewhat disappointed.

My rating of director Sarah Adina Smith's 2022 movie lands on a four out of ten stars.
