Couple Trouble

About This Movie

Couple Trouble is a quirky blend of comedy and sci-fi that feels like an oddball mix of suburban ennui and absurdity. Ross Bullock really captures that tension of ordinary life with the pacing that keeps you wondering where it’s all going. Larry and Lisa, played with a charming awkwardness, invite Rachel and Robby over for what seems like a simple dinner, but things take a turn into the bizarre. The humor is dry, and the performances are refreshingly natural, which gives it a relatable feel amidst the sci-fi elements. The practical effects used for some of the sci-fi gags add a nice touch, giving the film a more grounded, tactile atmosphere that sets it apart from slicker productions.
