User Reviews

Let's Get Weird!: A surreal, hilarious, and relatable take on the modern romantic comedy.

If you're expecting to see a typical romantic comedy when watching The Relationtrip, then you will be pleasantly surprised to find a fresh and charmingly odd take on this often worn out genre. This film strays from the typical pattern of a romantic comedy in that it speaks to both those who are in relationships and those who are not. The humor and awkwardness of the interaction between characters is easily relatable to numerous people who feel pressured into getting into relationships by those around them, when a relationship is not something that that person is ready for. The acting, writing, and directing are outstanding in The Relationtrip and show the true talent and dedication that went into making such a well thought out project. This film is weird in the absolute best way possible and appeals to such a wide audience that it is a must see for everyone. It is highly recommend that you hope on board for the surreal and uproarious journey that is The Relationtrip.
