Unplugging Review: A Dull Attempt at Backwoods Comedy

A married couple’s attempt to get away from their digital life predictably devolves into backwoods shenanigans. Unplugging’s brief slivers of comedy don’t compensate for a woefully thin script. The premise is milked dry early in the second act. Unplugging then uses goofy interactions with cardboard characters as lame filler material. Eva Longoria and Matt Walsh have believable chemistry with each other and make the film watchable on a basic level, but amateurish direction wastes the talent of its veteran leads.
