⭐ Insomniacs Rating: 8/10 THE SUMMARY When Carey’s wife, Ashley, suddenly asks for a divorce, he turns to his best friends, Paul and Julie, for a shoulder to cry on. He’s floored to discover that the secret to their suspiciously happy marriage is that they’re non-monogamous. Things take a chaotic turn when the heartbroken Carey sleeps with Julie, sparking a massive rift that tests the boundaries of their friendship and their "modern" views on romance. It’s a messy, witty dive into open marriages, male insecurity, and the absolute disaster that occurs when people try to apply "logic" to their libidos. THE PROS Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin have a quality chemistry that makes their constant bickering feel lived-in and sincere. Dakota Johnson is a standout as Julie, delivering a deadpan performance that anchors the more absurd moments of the farce. Adria Arjona is equally good as the fiery Ashley, bringing a much-needed energy to the group dynamic. It’s an 8/10 because it captures the "unromantic comedy" vibe perfectly, using physical slapstick and sharp dialogue to poke fun at today's relationship trends. The fight scenes between the two lead men are epic status—they’re uncoordinated, goofy, and clearly performed by the actors themselves, which adds to the punchy humor. The 35mm cinematography gives the film a high-end, cinematic look that’s rare for comedies in 2026. THE CONS It earns an 8/10 because the pacing can feel slightly sluggish in the middle when the focus shifts heavily to one-on-one arguments about the "rules" of their arrangement. While the men get plenty of development, the female leads can occasionally feel a bit quality-deficient in terms of depth, often reacting to the men's panicky decisions rather than driving their own stories. It misses a 9/10 mark because the ending feels a bit half-baked, stopping mid-gesture in a way that might feel like a damp squib to those wanting a more definitive resolution. Some of the "cringe" humor is laid on so thick it might be a bit of a struggle for the more squeamish viewers. THE VERDICT An 8/10. A good movie and highly recommended for fans of 'The Climb' or anyone who enjoys a cynical, adult look at modern love. It’s a winner for its sharp wit and physical comedy. Go and watch it for the "house-trashing" fight—it’s quality chaos. INSOMNIAC TRIVIA • DIY Stunts: To prepare for their uncoordinated fight scenes, Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin joined a rock climbing gym in Montreal. They spent weeks in the back corner of the gym flipping and throwing each other onto the crash mats to ensure their "clumsy" combat looked sincere on screen.• Throwback Inspiration: The filmmakers drew heavy inspiration from 1970s Italian "divorce" comedies. They wanted to capture that specific blend of realistic acting paired with absurd, cinematic slapstick.• Family Affair: The film is a true collaboration between the leads; Dakota Johnson didn't just star in it, she also served as a producer through her company, Teatime Pictures, helping to shape the film's "unromantic" tone. THE VIBE Like an awkward dinner party where everyone has said too much. It smells like expensive wine, burnt birthday candles, and desperation.
