Sleeping With Other People (2015)
There's nothing that bugs me more than a self-satisfied, smug, hipster comedy that thinks it's the funniest person in the room. Sleeping with Other People is that comedy. It's laughing at it's own jokes, and you're stuck blowing in the wind. I didn't care for these commitment deficient, NY socialites who are bemoaning the fact that they are attractive and can sleep with virtually anyone. Jason Sudeikis is almost anti-funny here, which is unusual, because his dorky facade isn't known to come off as phony or unlikable. He charms the crap out of every film he is in. Alison Brie is perhaps the only person to keep watching the film for. She's completely genuine, despite being casted in a largely one-dimensional character. Adam Scott is half-way intriguing as a mustachioed, soft-spoken doctor who cranks the freak volume to Kevin Spacey levels. Just skip it, skip it, skip it.
