Moviecut—Trip Slip

As I sat down to watch writer and director Crystal Ellis' 2021 comedy, I must admit that I was expecting just that; comedy. But it dawned on me pretty early on in the movie that the were be no comedy to be enjoyed here, at least not for me, because "Trip Slip" was a swing and a miss of a movie that just failed to have any appeal to me in any way. The storyline was just too mundane and slow paced, and with nothing much of any interest happening, I have to say that my interest in the movie was waning quickly. And I didn't even make it halfway through the ordeal that is known as "Trip Slip". The dialogue in the movie was just not cutting it, and I suppose it it because I am not exactly the target audience for a movie such as "Trip Slip". But I weren't finding any enjoyment in the dialogue that writer Crystal Ellis had conjured up for this movie. And little did it help that the character gallery had the appeal of a leafless tree. Wow. Just wow. The character gallery in "Trip Slip" was insanely bland and it was hard to tell where one character ended and the next started, as they could all essentially have been portrayed by one and the same performer. And since the actors and actresses virtually had nothing to work with here, then the performances put on by the involved actors and actresses just ended up being every bit as bland as the rest of the movie. I have zero interest in returning to watch the rest of "Trip Slip", because the movie just fell way short of providing me with the kind of entertainment and enjoyment I expect when I sit down to watch a movie and invest time in watching it. My rating of "Trip Slip" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
