Director Jeff Baena's SpinMeRound is a delightfully absurd but ultimately forgettable vacation comedy. It opens in theaters and on AMC+ on August 19.
For better or worse, Spin Me Round is a worthy addition to writer-director Jeff Baena’s growing filmography.
Spin Me Round follows Amber , a manager at an Olive Garden-esque Italian chain restaurant, who receives an invite to travel to Italy and take part in an annual corporate immersion program that is intended to honor and reward her employer’s best workers. When she arrives, Amber soon finds herself being seduced by the restaurant chain’s handsome owner, Nick , whose attention leads her to believe that her Italian getaway may end up being the trip of a lifetime.
Spin Me Round expects the absurd shenanigans of its third act to make up for the patience required to make it through its first hour, but that’s not what happens. While the film’s climax is genuinely fun to watch unfold, the surprisingly strained epilogue that follows it isn’t satisfying enough to bring everything in Spin Me Round together.
