Furlough

It doesn't quite engage from either a comedic or dramatic perspective. It has moments where it tries to be absurd and moments where it tries to appeal to the heart. It does neither very effectively and is rather dull and boring for the majority of the run. A few moments felt way to over the top and I stopped caring, I stopped being emotionally invested and there was no real point left for it to drive home.

Furlough is a light, uninteresting, and unenjoyable road trip movie about a corrections officer and her prisoner. It doesn't have the insight to engage us intellectually, the jokes to make us laugh, or the depth to make us feel anything. It simply exists, and we watch it, and we probably want to do something else but it's only 80ish minutes long so we grin and bear it. It wastes talented actors whom we wish were in a better movie.
