Is this movie kind of dumb? Yes. But did I enjoy it? Honestly- yes. Obviously the whole trope that two good friends would jeopardize said friendship over a random guy is ridiculously overdone and stupid, but as long as you don't take it seriously you'll have a solid time. It's not witty humor- it's largely slapstick comedy. If that's not your thing, then skip it. But if you're looking for something dumb but entertaining, give it a shot.

"The Layover" was a fast-paced "road show" comedy with good chemistry between the two lead actors playing Meg and Kate, who are roommates and lifelong friends. The narrative takes them from Seattle to Florida, where they hope to escape from having apparently failed in their careers as a high school teacher and a cosmetics distributor.

On the flight, there is a detour, due to a hurricane in Florida. The roommates land in St. Louis after meeting on the plane a charming but rather vacuous hulk named Ryan. The plot unfolds as a competition that turns into a catfight as the roommates vie for the affection of Ryan.

The best scenes in the film are those of broad comedy. They include a trip on the hot air balloon over St. Louis in which everything goes wrong. There is also a food fight in a restaurant that culminates in the roommates nearly being arrested.

The roommates are stunned to learn that Ryan is not traveling to Florida to attend a wedding, but to be married himself. Finally, the romantic story is resolved when the weary travelers confront Ryan and his bride at the wedding party. Through it all, Kate and Meg learn a little more about themselves and the their flaws in their silly and, at times, compulsive behavior.

While "The Layover" is an inconsequential piece of fluff, the film is nonetheless entertaining and includes high octane performances from the two leads, Kate Upton and Alexandra D'Addario. Kate and Meg are both rather nondescript characters when they are alone. But when they are together, their synergy makes them a force of nature and an immovable object for whoever crosses their path.
