I think Domhnall Gleeson stars this film. There ´s no problem about this. We´re having a raising star of this generation . A solid comedian who makes the movie totally. Yeah. Applegate is a very talented actress, specially for comedies and does the role perfectly. The cast works OK.The script is invisible, it doesn´t exist. This is another ONE-MAN-COMEDY-FILM made for Domhnall , in Domhnall star figure and for Domhnall own glory, anyway I liked it very much, I like Domhnall a bit more than before

The Plot. A hopeless romantic (Domhnall Gleeson) thinks he's found true love with an older woman (Christina Applegate), only to learn that she's married and their encounter was merely an instrument of revenge against her neglectful husband (Thomas Haden Church). Initially out for blood, the husband finds himself strangely sympathetic to the romantic's plight. He decides the best way for the two of them to get revenge is by moving in together, cutting her out and living a bachelor's life.This could have been a good flighty comedy. Instead it's brought down to a dead end by Gleeson who is the worst actor of the century. It's painful to watch his scenes he's so bad.

This film tells the story of a young man who meets the woman of his dreams. The morning after, she tells him that she is in fact married. The young man decides to seek revenge, but the most unlikely thing ensues as her husband moves in with him.It is unfortunate that the story is just over the top, irritating and not funny. The things that happen in the story are just too juvenile. Drinking from a homeless man's boot is something even stoner films writer can't imagine. All the excessive drinking and womanising does not help to make the characters anymore sympathetic either. The two men just appears to be giant jerks. I cannot say I enjoyed watching it.

This would have been a disaster were it not for Domhnall Gleeson who somehow manages to work in his take on the naive nerd looking for true love, who falls for an older married woman (Applegate) only using him for sex to pay back her husband (Hayden Church) for what she perceives is his infidelity. Gleeson's very good performance allows the audience to bear through an almost unbearable and sophomoric script.Kudos to Thomas Hayden Church whose impeccable timing adds needed snap to the dialogue. Editng is notable as well.Gleeson is an impressive actor, and as he (hopefully) stretches himself into more complex roles, will no doubt discover higher ground upon which he can unfold his talent.I'm rating Crash Pad a 5 (avoiding a 1 only because of Gleeson, Church and overall snappy editing). The rest of the cast is wasted on this dog of a a script and 5 is generous.2017 is going down as one of the worst years for movie releases unless the holiday season comes up big to redeem it.
