Plot
The film is set in a future time where American citizen are asked to sign an oath promising their allegiance to the government. The film’s protagonist is Chris, played by Ike Barinholtz, an individual who hasn’t signed the oath while his entire family, including his wife Kai, played by Tiffany Haddish has done so. On Thanksgiving, Chris and Kai hold a dinner party for their entire family, and he tries to control himself from indulging in political conversations. But his plans go awry when two governmental agents show up at their home and question Chris about his reluctance to sign the oath. The film follows their chaotic Thanksgiving dinner as Chris attempts to justify his action to his family.
Star Performance
Ike Barinholtz and Billy Magnussen give good performances in the movie. Tiffany Haddish’s character, however, is so underdeveloped that it restrains her from showing her comedic and acting prowess.
Analysis
The film had all the elements to be an entertaining political satire but fails because of disjointed storyline, mediocre performances, and an underwhelming screenplay.
What’s There?
• The film features a stellar cast with Ike Barinholtz, Tiffany Haddish, Nora Dunn, Chris Ellis, John Barinholtz, Meredith Hagner, Carrie Brownstein, Jay Duplass, Billy Magnussen, John Cho, Priah Ferguson, Henry Kaufman, and Max Greenfield
• The film is a political satire about the prevalent political atmosphere, and incorporates dark humor
What’s Not There?
• The screenplay and the performances are mediocre
• The film is often boring and the ending is disappointing
Verdict
The film has a unique concept and contains dark comedy. But the screenplay and performances are a bit disappointing. So, it might be a good watch for dark comedy and political satire enthusiasts.
