Our take
Untitled Home Invasion Romance is a dark comedy about an actor who fakes a break-in to save his marriage on a romantic getaway. Expect frequent f-word dialogue, chaotic invasion set pieces, blood and killing references, assault talk, and sex and nudity jokes. Smoking appears once. The tone swings from rom-com to thriller to farce. Strictly for mature older teens and adults
Uplifting themes
Marriage repair is the goal, but deception and chaos dominate Characters mean well but lie and escalate danger repeatedly
Story (may spoil tone)
As a last-ditch attempt to save his failing marriage, an actor stages a home invasion during a romantic getaway weekend.
