Welcome to the latest installment in our regular Movies You May Have Missed series here on Nerdly, in which I highlight some of, what I think, are the best movies that have flown under the radar of many or have been “forgotten” in the intervening years since its release. This time round its the ridiculous comedy Crash Pad, which has been dumped directly onto VOD services here in the UK…

Morgan (Christina Applegate) is drowning in a marriage on the rocks. Both her career and her husband’s (Thomas Haden Church’s Grady) are booming — the time allotted to spend together often earmarked for something else. So they’ve drifted apart over the last fifteen years. Their sex life is non-existent and he’s away on business trips that “run long” more often than not. Why wouldn’t she assume he was therefore cheating on her? No reason besides a level of trust that appears non-existent in a day and age where the worst is usually believed and proven true. And since he’s always been a “man’s man” brute with toxic edges she’s sought to smooth out, why not embark on some cheating herself with the embodiment of everything he isn’t?

"I sleep with the one guy who's pissed off that his one-night stand isn't just a one-night stand."
A great red-band trailer has been released for a new comedy called Crash Pad. The film has a fantastic cast that includes Domhnall Gleeson, Christina Applegate, and Thomas Haden Church. This actually looks like it could be a damn funny flick. Here's the synopsis:
A hopeless romantic, who thinks he's found true love with an older woman, learns that she's married and the fling is merely an instrument of revenge against her neglectful husband. He threatens to blackmail her by telling her husband, but his plan backfires when the husband decides the best way to get back at his wife is to move in and adopt the romantic's slacker lifestyle.
There are a few cheeseball moments in the trailer, but I really do love this cast and hope that this will end...
