When I first sat down to watch A Little Extra, my expectations weren’t particularly high. The film’s storyline felt a bit far-fetched and I was expecting a predictable plot with overused tropes.
However, I was very pleasantly surprised by what unfolded on screen
While the plot may seem a bit “far-fetched” at first, as the story progresses, the action proves to be entirely plausible. The film strikes a delicate balance between its more outlandish elements and a sense of realism that keeps the audience engaged. This is largely due to the excellent performances from the cast. The actors bring a level of talent and naturalness to their roles that is both refreshing and captivating.
They truly embody their characters, making the viewer invested in their journeys and experiences
The film also offers a fun and entertaining narrative that keeps you entertained throughout the film. While there is plenty of profanity sprinkled throughout the dialogue, which I don’t usually appreciate, in this context, it felt quite natural. The use of foul language didn’t detract from the experience; on the contrary, it added to the authenticity of the characters and their interactions. In the end, A Little Extra Thing isn’t a masterpiece, but it’s a charming comedy with an endearing cast that makes for a good time.
