Perhaps it\u2019s just permanent adolescence. \u201cAdult Best Friends\u201d mines its comedy from the friction caused when one of a pair of best friends moves into adulthood and gets married, while the other remains stuck. Doing double duty as the film\u2019s screenwriters and stars, Katie Corwin and Delaney Buffett craft a believable friendship for their lead characters (also called Katie and Delaney) and write some decent dialogue about why people would or would not marry. Something is missing, however \u2014 the film ends up being more dull than hilarious.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Katie and Delaney have been friends since they met at a sleepover in their pre-teens. When Katie\u2019s sweet boyfriend John (Mason Gooding) proposes, she finds it hard to tell her pal. Delaney \u2014 who hasn\u2019t ever liked any of Katie\u2019s boyfriends \u2014 parties hard, sleeps with whomever she pleases, and has no plans to grow up or settle down. So when Katie invites her on a BFFs-only weekend jaunt to their childhood beach town to break the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>, complications ensue. Chance encounters from their past happen, of course. Bizarre strangers meddle in their affairs, of course. Katie and Delaney break up and then make up. Of course.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cAdult Best Friend\u201d tries for humor at all times, its comedy ranging from cringe to heartfelt to smart and back again. A throwaway joke referencing \u201cBenedict Arnold\u201d lands well. A more protracted one about dog excrement just makes one shudder. This whiplash between funny and plain tedious continues throughout. Whatever clever ideas the film has about living in your thirties are lost between the many bits that fall flat. The indistinct filmmaking doesn\u2019t help. Assuming solo directing duties, Buffett sets most scenes in repetitive medium shots. Multiple two-person conversations are framed the exact same way\u00a0from scene to scene, as if they were all shot on the same day. There\u2019s no ingenuity or invention here.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Buffett and Corwin play off well against each other, with an easy rapport and\u00a0tetchy combativeness that makes the longstanding bond between their characters credible. Though there are a few recognizable faces in smaller roles, secondary characters are a weak point, with each one given a single characteristic \u2014 creepy, angry, annoying \u2014 and a single joke, repeated ad nauseam. Particularly unfunny are Cory Walls as a skeevy vacation renter and Carmen Christopher as a guy obsessed with hiring exotic dancers. Their one-note jokes wear thin quickly, becoming a burden on the film. Zachary Quinto can\u2019t bring much wit to his role as Katie\u2019s angry older brother either. Only Casey Wilson, as Delaney\u2019s benevolent boss, manages to create a believable and amusing character in her few scenes, despite appearing on a Zoom screen for the entirety of her performance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The premise of \u201cAdult Best Friends\u201d recalls Nicole Holofcener\u2019s 1996 debut \u201cWalking and Talking\u201d \u2014 also about two best friends who fall out over one of them moving on \u2014 and indeed the whole film aims for Holofcener\u2019s brand of comedy. A lot of the ingredients are there. Upwardly mobile neurotic characters. A mix of humor and sincere emotions. Yet \u201cAdult Best Friends\u201d\u00a0is less funny, less sharp and ends up being quite mediocre. Buffett and Corwin should take their confirmed screen chemistry and collaborate on something else, perhaps with fewer characters and more heart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
