Unplugging
Directed by Debra Neil-Fisher
Written by Brad Morris, Matt Walsh
Starring Eva Longoria, Matt Walsh, Lea Thompson, Nicole Byer
Release Date April 22nd, 2022
Unplugging is a dimwitted sitcom premise desperately stretched out to feature length. The premise of this new comedy starring Eva Longoria and Matt Walsh could barely sustain an episode of insert modern family comedy here and yet someone thought it would make a good feature length film. They were wrong, very, very wrong. Unplugging is a tedious 90 plus minute slog through an unfunny dad joke.
Eva Longoria stars in Unplugging as Jeanine, a nightmare of a wife and co-worker. As a wife and mother she’s constantly on her phone, in bed in the middle of the night, in moments when her daughter, who's not really a character in this movie, is trying to talk to her, and really any minute she’s on screen in this movie. If Jeanine isn’t on her phone she’s whining about not being able to be on her phone.
