Splitsville just hits cinemas.

A black comedy from writer director Dan Burke and Robert Olson, with Kyle Marvin starring

as Carrie, who's freshly split.

From his wife Ashley, his buddy Paul, played by Dan Covino and Paul's wife Julie, brought

to life by the Coda Johnson, shake things up with their open marriage vibe, turning.

A simple break up into total chaos among the four.

The flick dies into how folks handle splits differently, blending humor with some dark

edges as insecurities and bad choices pile up.

Paul wrestles rage issues.

Ashley dates a parade of duds, and everyone's prickly side comes out strong.

Audiences might struggle to cheer for these messy characters, since the script keys them

pretty one note, focused on raw impulses over deeper.

Backstories.

Julie stands out a bit more, thanks to her scenes with her young son and Johnson's charm.

That said, the movie ramps up in the final act, cramming everyone under one roof for a

wild climax and a surprisingly tidy wrap-up, complete with a slick tracking shot.

At just over 100 minutes, it drags in spots with its chapter-style breaks feeling forced.

Still, if you dig couples and crisis comedies that go hard on the mayhem, splitsville delivers

laughs up front and a chaotic, close-worth seeing on the big screen.
