The title of this relationship comedy refers to a digital detox; but, watching it, the only unplugging you might be tempted to do is yanking the plug out of the mains socket. It’s an almost entirely unfunny comedy from Debra Neil-Fisher, who edited the Hangover movies and makes her directing debut lumbered with a stinker of a script; it’s not smart enough to work as a grownup relationship movie, and laughs are too few for a proper comedy.
To be fair, there’s a relaxed chemistry between Eva Longoria and Matt Walsh playing husband and wife: she plays workaholic control freak Jeanine who does something high up in property development while her husband Dan (played by Walsh) recently quit his career in marketing to start an artisanal chilli sauce business in their garage. Both are permanently glued to their phones.
