surprising foursome
17 March 2018
In suburban Atlanta, married couple Jeff (Zach Galifianakis) and Karen Gaffney (Isla Fisher) drop off their sons for the summer camp. They have a temporary empty nest. Tim (Jon Hamm) and Natalie Jones (Gal Gadot) move into the neighborhood. They are exotic, friendly, beautiful, super-skilled, and overly interested in Jeff's workplace.

This has a certain fun with the foursome together. They have a nice comedic chemistry. Isla Fisher is probably too cute and beautiful. Her character needs to be the opposite of Gal Gadot although the height difference with Wonder Woman is quite funny during the lingerie scene. Isla is a pretty funny comedic actress which helps a lot. There are ways to push this harder but it does hold back. Galifianakis could have been more dead pan wacky. While the four actors do good work together, the premise and the writing adds little new to the genre.
