Fantasy Life Review: This Heartfelt Comedy Can’t Get Out Of Its Own Way

Okay, so the initial promise of this film quickly fades. Our lead, Sam, kind of gets lost in the shuffle as Amanda Peet’s character, Dianne, takes over, and while her energy is a breath of fresh air, it shifts the whole vibe. Honestly, it felt like the director pulled back a bit too, and the movie ended up feeling disjointed – a series of funny or interesting scenes that never quite gel into a satisfying whole. Peet’s performance is definitely the strongest part of Fantasy Life and honestly the main reason to check it out, but whether it’s enough to make the whole experience worthwhile? That’s really up to you.
