'Spin Me Round' sends Alison Brie on a strange, funny, and uneven Italian vacation. Our SXSW2022 review:
Spin Me Round starts off like a rom-com waiting to happen. Amber , having worked as a manager at the Italian restaurant Tuscan Grove for nine years, gets invited to the company’s managerial program in Italy. Her roommate Emily almost immediately jumps to the idea that Amber will probably find love on this trip, and Amber agrees that this will probably be a life-altering adventure. Yet almost right away, the trip isn’t what Amber, or the rest of the travelers, expected.
Director Jeff Baena has a solid track record of gathering hilarious actors together and letting them try something a bit out of their comfort zone. 2014’s Life After Beth put Plaza in the center of a zombie love story, while 2016’s Joshy gave Thomas Middleditch a more dramatic role, and 2017’s The Little Hours just let everyone get a little insane with his religious comedy.
While the free-flowing structure of Spin Me Round works in bits and pieces, there’s very little overall purpose to the narrative Baena and Brie have crafted here. Spin Me Round is at its best when it’s working in Baena’s wheelhouse, bringing together a bunch of fun actors and having them play off each other. But as a whole, Spin Me Round feels like little more than a vacation.
