Spa Weekend Fails to Deliver the High-Concept Laughs
Variety’s review of Spa Weekend finds a promising premise—a satire of wellness culture led by Leslie Mann, Isla Fisher, Anna Faris, and Michelle Buteau—but the jokes feel tired and the energy is undercut by Fisher’s grounded performance and a lack of spark overall. The film, distributed by Black Bear Pictures and clocking in at 97 minutes, signals that the high-concept comedy subgenre may be waning.
